NEWS: House Dems will unveil police reform legislation tomorrow. The bill will include provisions on:
- Making it easier to prosecute police officers for misconduct
- Creating a National Police Misconduct Registry
- Banning no-knock warrants in drug cases and police chokeholds
Other provisions include:
- Changing the standard for use of force from whether the force was reasonable to whether it was necessary
- Limiting transfer of military-grade equipment to state and local law enforcement
- Requiring federal law enforcement to wear body cameras
The bill, which is led by the Congressional Black Caucus, does not include new federal funds for police departments but would implement grants to community organizations with the aim of building partnerships which allow for greater accountability.

Marie Yovanovitch is speaking at Georgetown, her first public comments since leaving the administration.

"There is nothing more gratifying than working for the American people, making the U.S. and the world more democratic, more prosperous and more secure," Yovanovitch says.
Yovanovitch obliquely criticized Trump foreign policy, saying the U.S. may be "abandoned" by allies. "The policy process has been replaced by decisions emanating from the top," she says, and officials are afraid to "express concerns about policy even behind closed doors."
Yovanovitch: “Working off of facts is not the work of the deep state, but of the deeply committed state.”

Good afternoon, and welcome to day 8 of your Senate chamber ~vibe check~ during the impeachment trial.

Although the proceedings started late, senators seemed far more eager to get to the business of the day than they have before, especially during the past few days.
The senators reminded me of students starting a new unit in class - finally, we're done with World War I, time to move onto the interwar period. The senators are like older, wiser students more comfortable with how it all works, and ready to move onto the next thing.
There is a lot to notice in the chamber while questions are being asked. First, the page collecting the question must walk down the middle aisle of the chamber, meaning that there's a lot of walking around before the question actually gets to the chief justice.

It's time for your daily ~vibe check~ in the Senate chamber.

It's day 7 of the trial, and senators are pretty clearly worn out. The Senate convened slightly later than usual, and senators were slower to trickle into the chamber. There's a collective sense of exhaustion.
Several Republicans walked in over ten minutes late, as did Democrat Klobuchar. Tim Scott and Sasse began chatting shortly after proceedings began. At one point they both laughed, then turned and seemingly shared with their seatmates on the opposite side, Portman and Cassidy.
The last-day-of-school vibe extended to the Democratic side as well. At one point, Klobuchar shared a note with Coons, who sits next to her, and they both laughed.
