It can make an already qualified person even more valuable. Everyone who cares about the safety and wellbeing of the people who work and live in our prisons should be pulling for the new team at BOP to succeed. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…

"The HALT Fentanyl Act makes the classwide scheduling of fentanyl-related substances (FRS) permanent. There are FRS that have some potential benefits and aren’t harmful. This bill would impede research of those FRS and is a horrible way to make policy." dueprocess.substack.com/p/rescissions-…

1.4 million Floridians with felony convictions had their voting rights restored in 2018. But Florida is now prosecuting these individuals after the state issued them voter cards and permitted voting in 2020. Read our brief challenging these prosecutions: bit.ly/3SL4iMy

Homicides are down 21% year-to-date in 2025 across the top 30 cities, following national declines of 12% in 2023 and 15% in 2024. If this trend holds, the U.S. could see the fewest murders in over 50 years and the lowest per capita homicide rate ever recorded.

We urge the House to vote NO on the HALT Fentanyl Act. This legislation would schedule fentanyl-related substances as schedule I using a flawed class definition, impose mandatory minimums, and fail to provide an offramp to remove harmless substances from the drug schedule.

Great day on the Hill yesterday with Jason Pye 🇺🇦, Jessica Jackson, Erin Haney, and the REFORM Alliance team building support for the Safer Supervision Act!

Congress will be a worse place without policy-minded Members like Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️. We Arnold Ventures will miss your bipartisan leadership.

Last year was the largest one-year percentage point decline in murder ever recorded. This year is on track to do so again. In fact, nearly every category of crime is down sharply, with many at multi-decade lows or even the lowest per-capita rates ever recorded.

Founders: Devote half the Bill of Rights to criminal jury trials. Modern judges and prosecutors: I mean, that’s all well and good—but you could also just ask the guy if he did it, which turns out to be cheaper, easier, and *equally* reliable. Uh, no.

In Reese v. United States, we argue that judge-made theories of criminal liability pose grave danger that persons will be subject to criminal charges and punishment without fair warning that their conduct violates the law.

Contrary to the assertions of some politicians, the data continues to show a decrease in violent crime nationally year-on-year. Congress can help continue this positive trend by passing proven recidivism reduction policies like second chance initiatives. thehill.com/national-secur…
