Bruce, when I heard about Sen. Mullin's appointment I felt a tiny sliver of hope. He is fully enrolled Cherokee. I tweeted to him that these detention centers make the Indian Schools look like Disneyworld, which they most assuredly were not. He has on adoption/child welfare/ ICWA issues ok. So perhaps establishing some empathy w/ him will be helpful on these issues (the WH and Stephen Miller notwithstanding).....at least it's worth a try.
Thank you so much for writing about this 🫶🏼

We should always try. I will be encouraging senators to ask him about kids at confirmation hearing.
