Today for the 2nd anniversary of the Dobbs leak, we are reminded that a President’s power to nominate to the Supreme Court is the power to reshape the fabric of this nation. Donald Trump appointed the Justices that overturned reproductive rights and we must never forget it.

Yesterday the Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance held a hearing on the problem of overcriminalization. We must prioritize fairness and efficiency in the criminal justice system to safeguard its integrity while preventing further federal overcriminalization.
