Trump Fan Club Votes Cash Bail: Justice Not Included
In a plot twist no one asked for, Donald Trump threw his weight behind cash bailâbecause nothing says 'justice for the poor' like charging them a toll to freedom. Some GOP lawmakers, freshly invigorated by Trump's encouragement, are clinging to this 20th-century fix like it's the latest iPhone. This cash bail reboot threatens to undo years of messy reform aimed at helping low-income defendants avoid turning jail into a second address. Advocates are side-eyeing the pushback while asking, 'Who left the system designed to penalize poverty on the stove too long?' Spoiler: America apparently.
