Military.com:
'A U.S. Air Force member jailed since August for publicly calling for President Donald Trump's impeachment is being held in solitary confinement 24 hours a day, according to his attorney.

Watson was arrested July 1 on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, where he demonstrated in uniform with a sign reading "Impeach. Convict. Remove." after speaking at a news conference calling for Trump's removal.'

The Guardian:
"A Republican candidate in San Diego has criticized Donald Trump after the US president suggested Iran could “take out” the city or Los Angeles."

The Republican is Jim Desmond, who is running to represent San Diego. I'm sure Republicans in San Diego are reassured by his tepid pushback on Trump's suggestion of letting Iran destroy their city.

The utter uselessness of these accounts drives me nuts. There are plenty of young people who could use some help when they're starting out, for job training, or starting a business, or buying a home -- but instead we have Trump accounts that can only be used for their *retirement*?

I don't know if anyone has ever challenged the validity of a pardon that doesn't specify the crime, so I don't know if there's anything that could be called settled law on the subject.

And I'm not a lawyer, so I'll have to leave it at that.

FYI there is no "for what exactly:"

"Now, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9,1974."

It has come to my attention that Mary Engelbreit is selling a coloring book entitled "No Kings: A Revolutionary Coloring Book."

I got an email from her website. It has a few samples, like "If you change nothing, nothing will change" and "I will not stay silent so that you can stay comfortable" and "Any book worth banning is a book worth reading."

Had not pegged Mary Engelbreit as a fellow traveler.

The Guardian:
'The US Senate on Wednesday unanimously passed a resolution declaring its opposition to any presidential pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell...

Introduced by Senator Jacky Rosen, a Democrat of Nevada, the resolution states that Maxwell “should not be granted a Presidential pardon or any form of clemency for her crimes with Jeffrey Epstein relating to the sexual exploitation and abuse of minors”.'
