This is what happens in a conventional campaign with a conventional candidate. They’ve been planning this for weeks and decided to push on, despite the news yesterday and the #Parkland anniversary today. The video is 3.5 minutes of blah that the #MAGAs are already ridiculing 1/
And “normal” Republicans will roll their eyes at. To have ANY chance of making a dent in Trump, Haley would have to go all in on attacking him. Instead, she and her team are stuck firmly in 2015 thinking (h/t @TheRickWilson) that if they can just ignore Sauron 2/
What they either don’t know, don’t understand, or can’t comprehend, is that Trump’s minions will do his work for him. Like Sentinels in the Matrix, his supporters will leave no piece of Haley’s campaign unscathed, as he sips Diet Coke at Mar-A-Lago…3/

The formal sentencing of Nikolas Cruz will take place on 1 November.
He will be sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole. Judge Scherer cannot increase the sentence to death no matter what.

Why did you do it? #Parkland
Life in prison with no chance of parole. The jury has recommended a sentence of life without the possibility of parole on initial counts against Parkland massacre gunman Nikolas Cruz. Their recommendation is still being read.
Nikolas Cruz is sitting with his head down, showing no emotion, as the jury’s recommendation is read in court.

Before deciding whether Nikolas Cruz should be given the death penalty, his attorneys are asking jurors to consider the Parkland School shooter’s mental health and dysfunctional family history.
During trial on Monday, Cruz’s lawyer highlighted his mother’s abuse of drugs and alcohol during pregnancy. His lawyer also says Cruz showed signs of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder and antisocial personality disorder, CNN reports.
Cruz has plead guilty to 17 counts of murder and 17 counts of attempted murder, for the 2018 shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty while Cruz’s defense attorneys are asking for life in prison without parole.

Political contrasts w/ 2013 Manchin-Toomey effort: That negotiation dragged for months but these moved fast—it's been 19 days since #Uvalde! Delay lets status quo retrench. And Toomey had no credibility on guns to cover for other Rs but Cornyn does—a Nixon-goes-to-Moscow moment?
On policy, negotiators seem to have dropped big-ticket items in favor of many small+meaningful wins.
First the fluff: promised investments in school security & mental health are as predictable as they are vague + lacking evidence they will measurably affect gun violence but OK.

We've introduced new school safety legislation in memory of the #Parkland students. Their parents, together with others who have lost loved ones in mass murders, have worked tirelessly to find nonpartisan, commonsense solutions to prevent or limit future tragedies.
This bill honors the memory of all those who have needlessly lost their lives and is a proactive step to help mitigate this horrific violence.
I encourage all parents to ask what their child’s school is doing to protect their students and demand action if they believe their school isn’t doing these simple steps recommended by the Federal Clearinghouse on School Safety Best Practices. hsgac.senate.gov/media/majority…

‼️Trump tears at the very fabric of our society by dividing us, dehumanizing us, inflaming hate, inciting violence— his hateful & abusive rhetoric leaves us horrified & most importantly makes us less safe.

PBO recommended the now-nullified regulation in a 2013 memo following the mass shooting at Sandy Hook School, which left 20 first graders and six others dead. The measure sought to block some people with severe mental health problems from buying guns.

Since the 2012 #SandyHook shooting there have been a quarter million gun-related deaths in the US with another 750k gun-related injuries.
Those numbers should shock everyone.

I've always maintained that after #SandyHook America said guns mattered more than kids. 20 1st graders were murdered in their classroom & the US didn't pass a single law to stop it from ever happening again.
More than 7k kids have been shot & killed since.

Hear me out. I remember when #Parkland happened, I went to pay my respects. I recall David Hogg, Emma Gonzalez, the other student activists being so aware that they had a limited media window to make an impact, to get their gun reform message out. Same thing now with the “camps.”
@MoveOn organized emergency responses around the country today. MOC are visiting “detention centers.” Some media outlets are getting access to photos. But we must remain on this- a year later it’s worse than ever for families separated, kept in squalor. #DontLookAway
There are many fronts to rally around, #NoWarWithIran, #NoTanksOnTheMall, #IvankaIsNotADiplomat, #MuellerReport, fighting to preserve women’s access to abortion, to name check some. Add in chaos, diversion amidst lots of serious issues; racism, attacks on the press. All of it bad

OSC is a contractor to DOJ; his office will be wrapping up; but if he secured any indictments under seal, they could be handed off to other divisions of the DOJ.
