President Trump says he's granted clemency to Americans unjustly prosecuted by the Biden administration. Reuters found his pardons for public officials overwhelmingly went to Republicans or those who publicly supported him or his agenda https://t.co/1PPlpRyZg9

Some social conservatives within the GOP have grown alarmed by impact on young men despite general embrace by Trump admin

NEW: Cornell has announced its banning all parties and social events at fraternity houses for the rest of the year. The news came as part of an announcement about efforts to "strengthen campus safety and better support survivors."

The documentary “NAZA” provides a searing look into the inner-workings of the Israeli military’s operation in Gaza. Academy Award-winning director Yuval Abraham joined me to discuss the film's implications, and the discoveries he made while making it. https://t.co/S0y7xeAE1K

Eddie Huang, best-selling author of “Fresh Off The Boat,” was at an event advocating against censorship last week when he learned his own book had been banned in Texas alongside more than 8,000 others. https://t.co/KTURYc8RdF

Oh damn….RIP RJ Mitte 🙏

[Variety @Variety]

RJ Mitte, who played Walter White Jr. on “Breaking Bad,” has died. He was 34.

• A cause of death was not immediately disclosed by his representatives.

• Like his “Breaking Bad” character Walt Jr., Mitte had cerebral palsy. Throughout his acting career, he was an advocate for disability representation in Hollywood.

Speaking of live-streaming executions…

There were white people in America, particularly from the 1880s through the 1930s, who enjoyed watching Black people being lynched.

They brought their families. They cheered, took photographs, and collected pieces of the victims’ clothing or remains as souvenirs.

Bodies were left hanging from trees, with bulging eyes. Some victims were tortured, mutilated, and burned while crowds watched.

This is the horror behind Billie Holiday’s 1939 song Strange Fruit. They were public spectacles of racial terror, and some white Americans treated them as entertainment.

In May, Vice President JD Vance claimed DOJ was investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar, while raising questions about immigration fraud and family finances.

"We're going to investigate it. We're going to take a look at it. If we think that there's a crime, we're going to prosecute that crime. And that's something that the Department of Justice is looking at right now," Vance said during a White House press conference.

“Both Hegseth and Trump seem intent on flexing America’s political power and military might as a message not just to foreign enemies but to the American people, as if to say: This could be you” https://t.co/KplhoyxlZ4

We can all feel the economic pain of Trump's war, but the true cost is being hidden. How many service members have we lost? What is the real damage to our bases? Where are our tax dollars going? It is essential that we elect a new Congress that is willing to uncover the full scope of the fallout. It is almost certainly worse than we think.

BREAKING WaPo:

A federal judge just ordered the Trump admin to stop cutting down trees at East Potomac Golf Links after preservationists asserted that more than 500 were felled Saturday and "hundreds more" were slated for removal. https://t.co/sCTnd3CDbg

There are several flaws in this @NYT piece about Jeffrey Epstein's death. The biggest, however, is the reporters ignore the fact that someone else didn't need to get into that unit to kill him. The unit was filled with inmates capable of harming him -- and they were coming and going all day and even into the night. Epstein had a number on his back from the day he got there. The cameras weren't recording. It's simple to just leave a door unlocked and pay someone already on the inside to kill him. It remains frustrating that the Times fails to adequately address (with its enormous resources that I don't have) -- the massive corruption and fabricated reports in that facility that happened that night. The Times would have you believe that it was just accidental that he was left alone in his cell, and that killing him would have required a massive number of people. That simply is not true. https://t.co/9EzgykiLaK via @YouTube

Elon Musk to the rescue? The world's richest man has quietly funneled more than $276 million into GOP groups and his super PAC since July, making him by far the largest known donor in the midterms as he tries to save the beleaguered party. @teddyschleifer https://t.co/83qqWEV4C3

This is insane. Private equity owning municipal utilities? How in the world?
