I get to fulfill a super secret goal I've had for longer than I can remember: this weekend I'm filling in on @GMA, delivering the iconic Pop News segment!! Would love if you all watched! I know my mom and dad will be! xoxoxo
“If you work at McDonald’s, you put on the uniform or you’re not working today. Have they ever had a job?” - @RepCori just now with righteous scorn for republicans who value carrying guns on the house floor over the safety of their own colleagues. 🔥🔥🔥

Our daily update is published. States reported 1.6 million tests, 226k cases, a record 125,220 hospitalizations, and a record 3,903 COVID-19 deaths. Holiday reporting delays are still markedly affecting testing, case, and deaths figures.
Thinking about Keyontae Johnson this morning. We shouldn’t just move on from the fact that this happened. I’m sure there were conversations/reasons we aren’t privy to, but the fact the game continued on is haunting to me. Hoping he continues to recover and sending all my prayers.
NEWS: Grand jury announces charges for ONE officer: Brett Hankison.

If Louisville is like most cities, this means the taxpayers will foot the bill for incompetence. In 2019, settling civil lawsuits against the police cost taxpayers nationwide $300 million. This point doesn’t get driven home enough. We fund their misconduct.
NOW: city of Louisville agrees to following in #BreonnaTaylor settlement:
-$12 million to family
-commanding officers must approve search warrants
-incentives for officers to live in city, improve relationships w/ community
-social workers help w/ mental health calls
