We can’t reform the police without defunding it. CPD’s budget is 1.7B The combined budget for Public Health, Family support services, libraries and more is 1B. Imagine the kind of support services we can have if we divest resources from punishment to funding basic human needs.
While I understand the political reality of the Senate + election considerations, upon reading this DoJ report, which explicitly names Congress in determining obstruction, I cannot see a reason for us to abdicate from our constitutionally mandated responsibility to investigate.
Mueller’s report is clear in pointing to Congress’ responsibility in investigating obstruction of justice by the President.
It is our job as outlined in Article 1, Sec 2, Clause 5 of the US Constitution.
As such, I’ll be signing onto @RashidaTlaib’s impeachment resolution.

Deeply saddened to see @tayloru admin, under @haines_lowell, fall for the corrupting forces of power and money. Wealthy donors might be impressed by your bootlicking, but your witness and Kingdom work is forever tainted. #enjoytheshoeleatherandtrumpshitboyo
