“The tragic death of Laken Riley is a horrific loss, and my heart goes out to her family and loved ones. If the goal of this bill is to protect public safety, its supporters should know that it will do the opposite.” Great statement from @HennepinAtty.

This fire in Pacific Palisades is crazy. This is the Santa Monica Pier.

My heart is breaking for everyone affected by these horrific fires.
This is Malibu on the PCH. A hellscape. So many homes are on fire it’s unusual to see a home that is not.

I spoke to NPR’s @hereandnow today about consent decrees in light of the DOJ consent decree in Minneapolis. Listen here:

The federal consent decree calls on the department to track and investigate allegations of police misconduct, limit the use of force, and improve police officer training.

As President Biden pardons his son — a private citizen — it's worth noting that *literally yesterday* Trump appointed a convicted-felon family member whom he'd previously pardoned to a major ambassadorship. I do not expect that these two stories will garner similar coverage.
Trump announces Charles Kushner, Jared's father, as his nominee to be Ambassador to France

This pardon of Hunter Biden better be the first of a huge flurry of commutations. There are so many cases even more deserving than this one that the Pardon Attorney has recommended granting, and they're just waiting for Biden's signature.

I thought this was parody but I don’t think so. Can’t believe they’re still trying to blame problems on a DA who hasn’t been in office for 2.5 years…newsflash: criminal justice reform isn’t the problem.
San Francisco residents have to drive to the suburbs for holiday shopping now. Because woke-fueled lawlessness crushed our urban retail economy. Thx @chesaboudin et al.

This is an important piece in the @MarshallProj (and I am honored to be quoted in it). https://t.co/6A9j1Liwvc

Some believe progressive prosecutors have had their moment, but others argue that view misinterprets what’s happening across the country.

We are all so lucky to have had the benefit of @cookcountysao Kim Foxx’s leadership over the past 8 years. She has not just changed the prosecutor’s office in Chicago, but has changed the profession for the better. https://t.co/jYbAspMGeE

The outgoing state’s attorney says she still has wounds from breaking the glass ceiling, but she’s proud of her choices.

📢 The fight for criminal legal reform is far from over. Despite recent election narratives, reform-minded prosecutors are thriving across the U.S. Read why discretion is key to justice in this powerful @Newsweek opinion piece by @RachelRMarshall.
newsweek.com
A familiar narrative has emerged about local election results: the notion that voters have delivered a wholesale rejection of criminal justice reform and ended the era of prosecution reform.
