as of tonight, we know very little about most of the victims. now, information is still trickling in, but we still don t know literally anything about the victims in atlanta, beyond the fact that four asian women were killed. today, the atlanta deputy police chief said they were still in the process of notifying next of kin, fair enough. they also said that nothing is off the table in the investigation, including whether the murders were indeed a hate crime. we do know more about the four victims in the cherokee county shooting. they are delaney ashley yaon. paul andre michelles, age 54. a woman who was 49, and dao yo fung, who was 44. we also know ortiz was injured and is hospitalized in intensive care. out of all the victims, we know the most about delaina yan, she was visiting the spa with her husband who was in a separate room and wasn t injured. she had multiple children including a baby born just last summer. michelles was a handyman at young s asian massage, according
immediate change there would be if somehow republicans were to eke it out and get control of the senate is the same thing that they got us here. roe got us here, it got democrats, here and there will probably be never be another confirmed biden federal judge if mitch mcconnell gets in. all he really does is pass tax cuts for the superrich, and stop democrats from naming judges. i think what the biden administration , they would have to be thinking about the fact that they will never be able to get another judge three, that s the end of that. it s also worth noting that alaska is ar versus our. lisa murkowski is not kelly chewbacca, she is a republican , which is better than everyone else. she can sometimes be counted on for reality, and sometimes work in a semi bipartisan fashion. losing her from the republican
presidency. because there are so many people like that and people in business and people in congress who have said, well, i don t want to be responsible for his racist rhetoric, but i like the fact that he s naming judges and i like the fact that he s rolling back regulation or i like his tax policy. you can t have it both ways. people are going to talk with their pocketbooks and their wallets. that s what they re doing and i think it s fair game. so, to that point, is the reality here, joel, that we re in such a polarized state that going after businesses is going to be more about the political statements, and as rick mentioned, not taking into consideration the negative consequences on the people who work at these businesses? i understand the right to politically boycott. that s, you know, granted to every american citizen. but is this just such a backlash about a person who s a passive investor as these companies came out and said, that we re not thinking about the big picture her
another one of the president s biggest accomplishments, his mark on the federal bench. in his first year in office, the president is naming judges in record numbers. already filling 19 federal judgeship vacancies, that includes justice neil gorsuch to the supreme court, 12 circuit court judges and six district court judges. here s a question. how does the white house pick these people? according to a new washington post piece, the president asks his advisers one overarching question when going over potential nominees. he s not weak, is he? the he, that s the part that sticks out to me. i want to bring in ashley parker who wrote this great story, along with my panel, megan murphy and christine quinn. ashley, take us behind the scenes because more than 50% of graduates from law school are women, yet an overwhelming number of these picks are white guys. how do they keep getting picked?
