Having built a sizable online brand as ‘Lawyer Cas’, award-winning practitioner Cassandra Heilbronn now works as the chief of staff for a private family office in Saudi Arabia. What does this me
and gross attacks. guess what? it worked. she formally withdrew her nomination yesterday. rejected from public service of the karma being born in a country that does not even exist anymore. it would not be the first time a qualified nominee was denied a job in the government for reasons as such. i keep thinking of, one a woman named cassandra. she was president barack obama's nominee to service invested or to the bahamas. in fact, she works in the white house. i knew her biden. she is a qualified public servant. with decades of working government for nonprofits under her belt. but republican senator, tom cotton, of arkansas, blocked her nomination for 835 days. and i don't think it was because she was uncontroversial or -- but because she was an old friend. she later told a reporter that senator compton told her quote,
blocking her was a way to inflict special pain on the president. >> cassandra fell unexpectedly ill and died of leukemia in 2016. after waiting two years for a confirmation vote that never came. today, senator cotton is at it again. >> i would be happy to come from these nominees in the following few minutes. if the senator from illinois would simply express regret for what happened in the hearing that day. >> tom cotton's feelings are hurt. more on that next. re on that next. new gold bond pure moisture lotion. 24-hour hydration. no parabens, dyes, or fragrances. gold bond. champion your skin. do you struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep? no parabens, dyes, or fragrances. qunol sleep formula combines 5 key nutrients that can help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up refreshed. the brand i trust is qunol.
he has never accomplished anything. and he seems to take sort of a perverse pleasure in using these opportunities to twist the knife on democrats. this seems to be why he exist in the senate. i was there when he blocked cassandra. she was a friend of mine. it was deeply heartbreaking then. he clearly has not learned anything. he clearly regrets nothing about that episode. but this seems to be what gets him up in the morning and gives him purpose in his service in the united states senate. and i think that's deeply sad. so, the other big news is that there is some deal that i can even make sense of. they are going to raise the debt ceiling with a onetime vote to evade the filibuster so that the vote for the one that would raise the debt ceiling without the filibuster doesn't count. as a bill to raise the debt ceiling, it's procedural nonsense. but it's the way the senate functions. and a lot of people said elizabeth warren said that if you can make this is election here, why not make it in other places? >> senator rulings are what
a system of prohibition is chaotic, and it makes it hard for people to make the best choices. people are doing the best that they can, and so, yes, while some people want people -- while some people are trying to get to a place where they can stop using drugs, for us we're trying to get them to a place where they're less chaotic where we can create options for them that seem logical to them, giving them the opportunity to come in as opposed to being isolated to being criminalized and navigating a criminal drug supply. >> i have many people in my family that have gone through the program, so i more than understand the plight of this battle with drugs. it is a hard one. thank you so much cassandra fed reek for joining us. in the next hour, it's a rematch down in georgia, and so far it's looking pretty good for stay abrams. plus, the latest on the parents of the michigan school suspect now in custody and facing involuntary manslaughter charges. a live report ahead. anslaughter charges. a live report ahead. o man, that's a whole lot of wrinkly
overdoses, reduce drug use in public places and promote safer injection practices that reduce the spread of diseases. joining me now the executive director of the drug policy alliance. cassandra, this is a really interesting concept. i remember that hamsterdam episode very well. why do you think facilities like this work? >> they work because they remove discard like syringes off the streets. we encourage people to move from being in the street in parks and actually moving into a facility where they can get access to safer injection strategies as well as clean equipment, and they're connected to people that can get them connected to treatment and housing and food security, and really figure out how we can surround people and give people wrap around services so they can stay alive enough to make other choices. >> right, i mean, listen, you know, i can't help but wonder what would have happened had sites been around the crack
powell for the endorsement. and powell intended to stay neutral. and then he watched mccain choose palin, start using bill airs as a weapon against oep. suggesting that he was seeing the very good rallies at the end the campaign which were a foreshadowing of everything we saw with trump. and that was really what turned powell in the end away from muk cane as much as towards obama, turned way from mccain. as much as it uplifted obama, it shattered mccain who had a moment, a dark moment at the endst campaign and said, colin powell is against me. what have i become? you saw mccain in the last two weeks of that campaign sort of pull back from the edge of where he taken his campaign and could see kind of powell's like cassandra telling mccain where the republican party was headed. it's an incredibly important moment, i think, and tells a lot about where our politics would end up over the course of the
he doesn't let me cry. he sees me crying no, don't cry. he has given me the strength that i have and also to keep cassandra's memory alive and not to have -- let her have died in vain. >> dana: i love it that you came on to talk about her and your grandson and what you did. a show of love for your daughter and hopefully people can look at this and takes one of these pills to have this kind of effect, this poisoning and murder by fentanyl. thank you so much, have a good monday. >> thank you all so much for helping me share. >> dana: absolutely. >> bill: so important. good luck, too. 25 past the hour. thousands left stranded across the country. southwest airlines canceling hundreds of flies again today. they said it was the weather. what's up with that? the airline's vaccine policy have anything to do with the trouble? violence spiraling out of control across the country.
with a former dea special agent in charge. patricia, tell us about your daughter and what happened. >> on memorial weekend i had asked her to drop the baby, my grandson off because i usually wanted him each time i was off. she dropped him off and then i told her i would call her to pick him up and monday like around 3:00 in the morning which would be tuesday, they called me from the hospital at 3:00 telling me she was there. and i was like why? they are like we can't tell you, you have to come up here. i went up to the hospital and they put me in a room. when they put you in a room you know something is really wrong. and doctor comes in and just said she didn't make it. >> dana: her name is cassandra
