Today, we offer a powerful juxtaposition between the treatment of the worst career violent offenders in Chicago and that of military veterans charged with nebulous crimes on January 6. I explain how it’s not enough for Republicans to merely run on funding the police; we must demand that legislatures increase mandatory sentencing for the worst offenders because we are playing catch-up on the crime issue.

He tells the story of American hero Ryan Nichols, who has been in jail for almost two years for trumped-up charges. There needs to be a reckoning over J6, just as there needs to be a Nuremberg trial over COVID fascism. The pressure must be brought to bear on the GOP to do the right thing.
