---
A pastor was pulled over for looking lost. A 72-year-old was marched out in his bathrobe due to mistaken identity. Memphis’ mayor welcomed the federal law enforcement surge, but some residents say they feel targeted just going about their lives.

Amid concerns over the Biden administration's regulation of the crypto industry, billionaire tech investor Marc Andreessen, a longtime Democrat, donated more than $5 million to groups supporting Trump ahead of the 2024 election.
Since then, he's gotten what he called for: a hollowed-out Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

American families are worried about losing #FoodStamp benefits. Hundreds of thousands of #FederalWorkers have no idea when they will next be paid. Several #airports have been experiencing delays because of staffing shortages.
The pain of the government #shutdown is growing more acute as it grinds toward the 5-week mark, with #Congress showing little movement toward a resolution. But #Trump has been attending to other matters.

Again & again since #Trump returned to the White House, #SCOTUS’ conservative majority has blessed his boundary-pushing policies….
But on Wednesday, the justices will consider for the first time whether to say “no” to Trump….
At issue is the legality of his…use of emergency powers to impose sweeping #tariffs on nearly every US trading partner. The outcome of the case could significantly affect the global #economy….

The DOJ placed two prosecutors on leave who asked for a 27-month sentence for someone convicted of trespassing at former President Obama’s house with an illegal loaded gun in 2023. The person had seen Obama’s home address posted on social media by then former President Trump 👀‼️ and then reposted it.
He had been pardoned by Trump for taking part in the Jan 6, 2021 Capitol shindig (don’t call it a “mob of rioters” bc the #Trump admin doesn’t like that 🥴).

Under DOJ standards and requirements, people seeking pardons generally must wait five years after release, demonstrate good conduct and remorse, and file petitions through the Office of the Pardon Attorney.
Trump has largely abandoned that process.
