A United States Senator really did just tweet this:

– Senator Chuck Grassley (@ChuckGrassley) 2/14/18, 1:30 PM
Seriously? How can this be real life?
Apparently, it was in response to a letter from Sessions opposing bill that aims to give judges more sentencing discretion, reduce racial disparity & lower incarceration rates. Sessions stated “it would reduce sentences for a highly dangerous cohort of criminals." (Read the full letter here.)
