Biden maintaining Stephen Miller’s refugee policy is not something anyone should defend. It’s a disgrace. https://t.co/XFwlrAVjBO In consultation with @SecBlinken and @SecMayorkas earlier this year, @HouseJudiciary made clear that we supported the much higher levels of admission that the Biden administration proposed at the time. Today’s announcement is extremely discouraging. We have it within our power to help refugees. It’s unconscionable to maintain Trump administration policies that were rooted in cruelty and xenophobia. https://t.co/crN82SPTUh There are simply no excuses for today’s disgraceful decision. It goes directly against our values and risks the lives of little boys and girls huddled in refugee camps around the world. ....
As I continue to ask myself when I’ll be able to greet the pizza delivery person without a facemask, I can’t help but reflect on how much has happened over the past year and some change. The beginning of 2020 had a lot riding on it, being a new decade and all, and a lot of us (myself included) believed that it would, quote, “be our time to shine.” 2020 said HA, followed by, HA!

Today, it was for a particularly great reason! Texas is in a dire state of emergency as winter storms have caused millions of its residents to lose power and access to safe water. Many Texans have been freezing for days under horrific conditions, unable to get help and even emergency medical treatment. More than twenty people have died, and people are desperate simply to stay warm. You can read our piece here on how to help. ....
It’s like we’re all in a Bruce Castor nightmare where he suddenly finds himself in front of the U.S. Senate defending Donald Trump from impeachment, and he isn’t prepared, so he’s just like, “free speech, uh, slippery slope, uh, we are all patriots here, aren’t we fellas?” Trump’s lawyer’s presentation is almost physically difficult to watch. As Democrats are arguing, the idea that you can’t impeach an elected official after they leave office isn’t actually stated anywhere in the Constitution. Moreover, claiming as much has the potential to create what some lawmakers are now calling a “January exception.” ....
