Restarted federal executions after a 17-year informal moratorium on federal capital punishment

Secretly altered the risk assessment authorized in the FIRST Step Act to drastically reduce the number of federally incarcerated people eligible to be released to subdue the spread of COVID-19

Denied federal coronavirus relief funding to small business owners with a criminal record

Argued in court against people eligible for sentence reductions under the FIRST STEP Act

Jeopardized the FIRST STEP Act by underfunding its programs

Reinstated DOJ contracts with private prisons

Disbanded a program to create federal prison education systems

Closed halfway houses that help those incarcerated transition back to the community

Prohibited federal investigations of patterns of unconstitutional policing

Stopped assistance to police departments that voluntarily wanted reform

Eliminated restrictions preventing police departments from obtaining military equipment

Eliminated community-based violence prevention programs

Eliminated DOJ community policing program grants in proposed executive budget

Attacked prosecutors who are pursuing criminal justice reform in their communities

Ordered federal prosecutors to pursue the harshest punishments possible

Attempted to resume use of the federal death penalty and encouraged expansion of the death penalty in drug cases

Waged the same failed war on drugs from the 80s

Attempted to force federal job candidates to disclose participation in diversion programs

Failed to report on deaths in police custody as required by Congress

Disbanded the DOJ Science Advisory Board that provided evidence-based rigor to DOJ policies

3. School choice, disproportionately helps blacks.
That's quite a claim to make, do you have any supporting evidence or did you just hear that from Tucker?

Senator Scott, who you quoted as legitimate before, says they have been a huge help.

You're dancing all over the place, bitch slapped boy. You're really coming unglued.

You're seriously denying this?

Try to follow along, I'll try to use small words...

Rich people don't need school choice, they can afford to send their kids to great schools.

Rich people are disproportionately white.

So, people who aren't that rich, are disproportionately black.

The worst schools are in poor, urban areas, which are disproportionately inhabited by blacks (thanks to liberalism).

I tried to use mostly monosyllabic words. If it's still going too fast for you, I can try to make it into a pop-up book.

So using small words makes what you think true, now I understand why you believe in Tweety.

There are plenty of poor white people also. If you're poor getting a tax incentive for paying for private school isn't really going to compute. It would possibly help some in the middle class and be a handout to the rich unless it's phased out by income.

i said poor people are disproportionately black. is that true, or is that false?

i never said there are zero poor white people. that again, was biden, who said poor kids are just as smart as white kids.

Poor people are disproportionately black. is that true, or is it false?

It would be more accurate to say that poor people are disproportionately in minority groups.

Why is that "more accurate"? Are blacks one of the minority groups who make up a disproportionate share of those living in poverty?

Asians are a minority. I don't know if they are disproportionately living in poverty.
