After the plan to lift the Title 42 public health order was announced, Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy accused Joe Biden of having "abdicated his responsibilities" at the border with Mexico: "Today’s decision confirms that President Biden has abdicated his responsibilities at our borders and is actively working to make the border crisis worse. From day one of his administration, he has failed to protect our nation’s security and to secure the border".

🏙 NY bail law fight emblematic of Democrats’ debate on crime

It’s hard to find anyone on board with New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s plan to toughen the state’s bail laws, two years after they were retooled to keep people from being jailed because they are poor.

New York changed its bail laws in response to public outcry over prisoners accused of minor crimes being held in jail for extended periods while awaiting trial because they couldn’t afford to pay bail.

The state’s answer was to eliminate cash bail for many nonviolent offenses, a reform that frustrated some law enforcement officials who warned that people released back to the streets would commit new crimes. But with violent crime up across America, crime rates have been an easy target and longstanding bogeyman for Republicans, who have wasted no opportunity to make it a campaign issue in races around the US.
