Trump Grants Sweeping Clemency to All Jan. 6 Rioters
The extraordinary pardons and commutations extended to those who committed both violent and nonviolent crimes on Jan. 6, including assaulting police officers and seditious conspiracy.

Detroit Roller Derby had humble beginnings. Now it's on a roll
The league has grown from approximately 18-20 skaters in 2005 to about 80 skaters now.
Come for the great photos, stay for the nicknames: “Cookie Rumble,” “Ravioli,” “Salty Water” & my personal fave, “Ruthless Bader Ginsburg”
