Biden commuted their death sentences, so Trump retaliated by making their lives living hell, putting them in the country's most brutal prison, where they "spend 22 to 24 hours a day locked alone inside concrete cells that are smaller than a standard parking space."

Pure, pointless cruelty.

Trump officials are retaliating by imposing the harshest conditions in the entire federal prison system, including near total isolation.

This is a must-read from legal scholar Marjorie Cohn, who lays out times that she *personally* testified on behalf of soldiers who disobeyed unlawful orders. Very thorough account of how the Trump admin's assertions w/r/t Sen. Kelly and co. are wrong.

Every single day, I'm told that home prices have to stay high since seniors rely on that equity to fund their retirement.

The evidence that this is true, however, is remarkably thin. Yet it's something that's nearly universally treated as true.
