That report analyzes the impact of the administration’s deployments of the National Guard in cities around the country, finding that they had no measurable impact on the rate of violent crime reductions.
In response, CAP President and CEO @NeeraTanden issued the following statement: americanprogress.org/press/s…
Thanks to @UnderSecStateP for taking the time to address Russia's threat to Ukraine and why it matters for all of Europe.

Congratulations to my friend Masha Yovanovitch for this well/hard-earned recognition. Great speech as well!
In the face of pressure and intimidation, Marie Yovanovitch bravely told her story before Congress and the American public. We are pleased to award the 2020 PEN/Benenson Courage Award to former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch. #PENgala

The U.S. mourns the passing of former French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing. As a tireless advocate for strengthening bonds between our two countries, we honor his service and cherish his friendship. Que son âme repose en paix.
