We found that Donald Trump has granted clemency in at least a dozen criminal cases that originated during his first term.

No president since Clinton has used clemency to erase his own appointees’ actions on such a scale.

“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

Stephen Miller said the Chicago building was “filled with TdA terrorists.”

DOJ prosecutors have not filed criminal charges or shown evidence that anyone arrested in the raid belonged to the Tren de Aragua gang.

How Trump’s Transportation Department Is Loosening Safety Rules Meant to Protect the Public ProPublica has identified dozens of instances in which the Trump administration’s DOT has moved to cut, soften or delay safety regulations for cars, trucks, planes, trains and even oil pipelines. Experts say the changes will cost lives.

New York Moves Forward With a Brooklyn Flood Protection Plan That Falls Short of Other City Projects The city is on track to install barriers and elevate roads and sidewalks in the port neighborhood of Red Hook. Experts say it will provide insufficient protection from storms.

NEW: Scientists used historical tidal data to predict that future storms in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Red Hook will produce surging waves reaching at least 11 feet.

The area’s yet-to-be-built flood protection system is only 10 feet.

How the Trump Administration Abandoned Plans for a Major Cut in Disability Benefits for Older Workers After meeting with advocates, the Trump administration confirmed it has scrapped a controversial regulation that would have cut disability benefits for older workers.

NEW: A proposed regulation would have denied disability benefits to at least 830,000 older blue-collar workers.

But after reporting from ProPublica and others, the Trump administration has killed the plan.

A tweet from “MeidasTouch” reads: “Casually extorting the American taxpayer out of tens of millions of dollars on live television.” Below is a tweet from “Acyn” quoting Graham saying his phone records were seized and he plans to sue; when asked “For how much?” he replies, “Tens of millions of dollars.” The image shows Graham speaking on the show Hannity.

America is not your sugar daddy, Lindsey.

We stand with survivors everywhere. Release the files, and jail the PDFs, including the ones in the White House.

This is the law. Passed down from our Founding Fathers, to ensure our military upholds its oath to the Constitution — not a king. Given Stephen Miller is directing much of a military policy, he should buff up on the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

As the FBI’s deputy director, Bongino receives some of the country’s most sensitive secrets, including the President’s Daily Brief.

His ascent to that position without passing a standard bureau background check is unprecedented, insiders say.

Republicans are completely full of it on healthcare And it becomes more obvious every time they talk about it.

"If they could snap their fingers and eliminate the ACA marketplaces altogether, they would. And they haven’t arrived at a consensus on what the insurance system would look like in their preferred world, beyond a bunch of vacuous bromides about 'choice' and 'patient-centered care.'"

—no arrests, no transparency, no Congress.
The GOP stays silent as the Trump admin normalizes extrajudicial killings and escalates a Caribbean military build-up.

The health care crisis before us should be laid at the feet of my colleagues across the aisle.

Tonight, I am voting no on a procedural vote on an appropriations deal that would re-open the government. Since July, I have been clear: to earn my vote, Republicans would have to do something to bring down the cost of health care for working and middle-class Michiganders. (1/4)

Progressives Win in Seattle, Changing Directions on Public Safety - Bolts Voters ousted a mayor who oversaw a surge in encampment sweeps, and a Republican prosecutor who pursued punitive policies toward homeless people and drug users.

NEW: With the election of Katie Wilson as mayor and Erika Evans as city attorney, voters shifted Seattle's political landscape to the left. What will this mean for public safety and the city's criminal legal system policies? Find out in my latest for @boltsmag.org:

The Alt-Right Is Now the Entire Right The voices of reason, reality, and responsibility are a cowering minority in the Republican party.

"By its own definition, the alt-right is no more. Because it’s no longer an alternative to the right. It is the right." From the archives:

PRO PUBLICA: “The Strategy Group’s ad work is the first known example of money flowing from Noem’s agency to businesses controlled by her allies and friends.”

Bill Pulte is really having a week The revelations against the Trump loyalist keep piling up.

During the recent government shutdown, Trump directed Pulte to think about ways to use Fannie and Freddie to ramp up housing production and address the US’s critical housing shortage.

Pulte flew down to Trump’s Palm Beach golf club to present his idea for the president’s demand: a 50-year mortgage.

Just a reminder, Susan Collins voted to block the release of the Epstein files.

Why is Susan Collins protecting pedophile Jeffery Epstein and his associates?

Release the Epstein files.
