Trump just gave a commutation to David Gentile, a private equity executive who defrauded investors of $1.6B.
Meanwhile, Trump's regime has also scrapped enforcement actions against over 160 corporations accused of misconduct.
A new Golden Age for corporate criminals.

Lords found guilty of serious misconduct – like bullying or lobbying for cash – still get to make our laws.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

For decades, China’s emissions soared ever higher as its economy grew, burning extraordinary volumes of coal, oil, and natural gas.
Now, for the first time, there’s been a shift: China’s greenhouse gas emissions have actually fallen even as energy demand went up.

Net migration was 431,000 during 2024, down almost 300,000 on the July 2023-June 2024 figure of 728k
9/10 people did not expect it to fall. 6/10 thought it would rise
The lower 2025 visa data shows the current Spring 2025 rate will be lower again, running at about half the pre-election level.
