#Trump just pardoned another #Jan6 #insurgent — #ThomasCaldwell — despite earlier only commuting his sentence.

#Trump, who specifically took aim at the #pardons granted to members of the bipartisan House cmte that investigated the #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection, offered no evidence for his claim, & there is no power in the #Constitution or case #law to undo a #pardon. But Trump’s assertion, which embraced a baseless #FarRight #ConspiracyTheory about #Biden, was a new escalation of his antidemocratic rhetoric.
#DOJ drops lawsuit against #ProudBoys, #OathKeepers over violent #Jan6 #insurrection
The DC AG’s office has dropped a lawsuit against the Proud Boys & Oath Keepers over the J6 attack on the US Capitol, saying in a court filing that the city was unlikely to recover enough money to justify continuing legal action against the far-right groups & others it had sought to hold responsible for the riot. [money?! It’s not about money ! It’s about #law & #order & #democracy!]

The deletions began shortly after #Trump took office. #CDC web pages on #vaccines, #HIV prevention, & #ReproductiveHealth went missing. Findings on #BirdFlu transmission vanished minutes after they appeared. The #Census Bureau’s public repository went offline, then returned w/o certain directories of geographic info. The #DOJ expunged the #Jan6th #insurrection from its site, & whitehouse.gov took down an explainer page about the #Constitution.

Trump is the third US president to pardon insurrectionists. Pardons by the previous two - Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Ulysses S. Grant in 1873 - were followed by years of violent racism and the rise of the KKK.

Law & Order Lost Control for a Few Hours: Athens, Greece
Maybe 500.000 people followed calls from leftist, communist, anarchist groups, student collectives, the relatives of the Tempi victims, the calls for general strike from unions, the calls from organized football hooligans, to join a gathering at Syntagma Square in the center of Athens. see one of the many calls https://athens.indymedia.or
#ElissaSlotkin’s formula has never been a secret. Her campaign for #Senate last year—essentially a scaled-up version of her 3 heavily contested & tactically celebrated campaigns for the #House—was built around one organizing theme: the middle class. Everything she talks about, be it #health-care costs or the #Jan6 #insurrection, comes back to the #economic security of everyday Americans.
