A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Still what a wild statistic bsky.app/profile/bolt...
An astonishing 80 percent of the Louisiana's death sentences between 1976 and 2015 were later reversed.
A judge recently vacated the conviction of Chris Duncan, who had been on the state's death row for decades.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump

Rejon Taylor was one of 37 people on federal death row whose death sentence was commuted by then-President Biden. This year, he learned the Trump administration was sending him to a supermax prison once called a “clean version of hell.”
Death Row Prisoners Granted Clemency by Biden Brace for “Living Hell” Under Trump
Trump officials are retaliating by imposing the harshest conditions in the entire federal prison system, including near total isolation.
