#TinaPeters, the fmr clerk convicted of participating in a scheme to overturn the 2020 election based on #ConspiracyTheories promulgated by #Trump, was released from prison Monday after Trump successfully pressured Colorado’s Democratic governor into commuting her sentence.
Her sentence was shortened by Gov Jared Polis last month after Trump waged a lengthy pressure campaign against the governor & #Colorado.

#Pentagon bans #journalists from #PressOffice, designating it a classified space [so it’s clearly no longer a #press office]
The change creates a new barrier compared with previous admins, under which the office was an open room where reporters could stop by the desks of #military public affairs officials without escorts.

I should think so since 2 courts have ordered it so.
#Trump's 'weaponization' #SlushFund is on hold, sources say
…On Friday, federal judges in Virginia & Florida dealt the admin a pair of blows, issuing orders that temporarily halted the fund until June 12 & called for further review.
In a statement Monday, a #DOJ spox said the DOJ "disagrees strongly" with the temporary halting of the fund but, "the Department will abide by the Court's ruling."

#Congress passed significant piece of #housing #legislation, in rare #bipartisan feat.
The bill’s passage, by a lopsided 358-to-32 vote, ended months of sparring between the #House & #Senate over a sprawling measure that aims to tackle the housing crisis by boosting supply in a country facing an acute shortage of new homes. The Senate passed its version of the same bill Monday, by a vote of 85 to 5.
Former #slumlord #Trump is expected to sign the bill into #law.

“The pattern is familiar.
#Trump pushes all of his chips to the middle of the table — a collusive IRS lawsuit, a bogus DOJ settlement, a corrupt slush fund, and a get-a-out-of-jail-free card for himself & family — and then merely signals that he’s thinking of pulling back ONE chip, and official D.C. gets the vapors.”

But the tax agreement—which could save Trump >$100 million, per a NYT analysis—could be highly damaging for #Republicans forced to defend that they supported a deal that enriches a billionaire with #TaxpayersMoney.

US Senator warns of #Trump admin plan to hastily remove over 500 unaccompanied #immigrant #children
A Democratic US senator warns the Trump admin is getting ready to round up 500 immigrant children in a hasty effort to remove them from the country, bypassing #legal protections. It would be their second attempt after a federal court intervened last year in an overnight plan to fly out hundreds of children on Labor Day weekend.
