USA Today Op-Ed | Criminal Justice reform: We can improve expensive, ineffective system by lowering recidivism

In a USA Today op-ed, President Trump’s son-in-law and senior advisor, Jared Kushner, and Council of Economic Advisors member Tomas J. Philipson, discuss the economic benefits of criminal justice reform.
The bipartisan First Step Act, which was introduced last week and endorsed by Pres Trump, seeks to lower the crime rate and the overall cost of incarceration by...
ensuring that low-risk inmates bound for release are equipped to successfully rejoin society rather than return to a life of crime.
“The administration also worked with Congress to draft the FIRST STEP Act, legislation which seeks to strengthen recidivism reduction and evidence-based reentry programs for inmates in federal prisons.
We continue to work with the law enforcement and faith and business communities to find ways to get people leaving prison properly reintegrated into society.
“While these reforms have proven to reduce crime, they also lead to reductions in the costs associated with corrections operations in general.
The most damning fact about the ineffectiveness of our current prison system is that only 24 percent of the current federal prison population is being incarcerated for the first time.
By lowering the rate of recidivism, we can apply a broad-based approach to preventing future crimes and cutting prison costs over time.”

MYTH/FACT: Known and Suspected Terrorists/Special Interest Aliens

@drawandstrike @catesduane @rising_serpent @almostjingo @tracybeanz @TheChiIIum @Quodverum_ @headsnipe01 @thomaswictor

dhs.gov/news/2019/01/0…
In recent days, the terms “Special Interests Aliens” (SIAs) and “Known and Suspected Terrorists” (KSTs) have become more frequently used as part of discussions about the federal budget and border security.
These terms are not synonymous nor interchangeable, but are two separate terms that are commonly used in the national security community to describe different types of potential threats.

1. The Republicans in the House and the Senate are missing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reassert the co-equal powers of the legislative branch, powers which have been severely limited by the rise of the imperial presidency since WWII. Let me explain.
2. Before Trump decided to shutdown the government over funding for his unpopular wall, the Senate and the House had sufficient votes to pass bills funding the government. Ryan and McConnell could likely put together *veto-proof,* bipartisan majorities for those bills today.
3. The only reason Ryan & McConnell are not doing that is because they are afraid of Trump and his pitchfork (or worse) wielding base. So they slink up to the WH to be berated by Trump (who they hate) who insists they do something that they know is legislatively impossible.

1. One thing that's important to understand that Trump isn't *that* unpopular.

He's unpopular, but on a pretty normal scale.

Gallup approval after ~625 days

Clinton: 42%
Obama: 46%
Trump: 43%

2. This is still low enough to get crushed in the midterms, yes.

But how is someone who is an unindicted co-conspirator and put babies in jail retaining so much support?

I think I big answer is the media, which covers him like any other president

3. The USA Today op-ed by Trump yesterday was a perfect example.

Other presidents wrote USA Today op-eds and those probably weren't fact-checked either.

But those presidents didn't write a piece where every sentence is a lie

Almost every sentence in Trump's USA Today op-ed attacking Medicare for All contained a misleading statement or falsehood. Let's set the record straight.

Thread.
Medicare for All would not “end Medicare as we know it and take away benefits that seniors have paid for all their lives.” It's called Medicare for All because it would take the program and expand it to everyone. Seniors’ benefits would not be taken away – they would be improved.
Medicare for All won't cost $32.6 trillion over 10 years, b/c it will introduce savings not accounted for in the study Trump cites. But even if it did, that would be LESS than projections for our current system, which also leaves tens of millions of Americans without coverage.

The Department of Homeland Security is coordinating an effort to improve election cyber security, initiated by Obama. Let's hope that effort isn't now subverted by Trump directing DHS to determine the "next course of action" following Trump's failed voter integrity commission
My USA Today op-ed back in September contrasted DHS's cyber-security effort with Trump's voter integrity commission (RIP) usatoday.com/story/opinion/…
As I suspected, the work of Trump's voter integrity commission isn't over just because Trump folded up the commission. It's moving to the Department of Homeland Security kansascity.com/news/politics-…
