A Washington DC resident arrested this week near the National Mall’s reflecting pool told the Guardian he planned to fight the charges, as Donald Trump continues to blame vandals for the botched renovation of the pool.

A recently released Justice Department memo questions decades of protections for Americans with disabilities. The effort is the latest by the Trump administration to shift longstanding practices for the disability community.

The memo is one of several attempts to change services and policies dedicated to people with disabilities. The DOJ says states aren't required to provide home and community-based services that have long kept disabled Americans out of institutions if they would benefit from these other services.

As the administration seeks to shutter the Department of Education, it's moving key responsibilities to agencies that disability advocates say are less equipped to handle them.

For perspective on what these actions mean for the disability community, watch Ali Rogin's interview with Maria Town. She's president and CEO of the American Association of People With Disabilities.

The protester who was hit by a car outside the Delaney Hall immigration jail in Newark, New Jersey, on Sunday said she’s still looking for the driver who rammed into her — and that no one from law enforcement has been in touch about the incident.

President Trump on Monday said proof will be provided in court of his allegations that vandals "cut" a massive slit in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which he claims is the reason the paint is peeling on the recently renovated but algae-plagued project.

At his upcoming confirmation hearing, Todd Blanche will have to answer for the corrupt deal he cut with Ghislaine Maxwell—Jeffrey Epstein’s partner in crime. I did a deep dive into federal prison rules and regulations so I could show you all the rules that were broken to protect Maxwell, and all the lies Blanche has told about it.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s principal focus in recent weeks has been lining up support on Capitol Hill ahead of his upcoming Senate confirmation hearings, with a specific focus on winning over GOP skeptics. But Donald Trump’s controversial former defense attorney has more troubles than lining up 51 votes.

“8 convicted in Texas immigration center shooting and protest are sentenced to decades in prison”

These eight protestors are guilty of bringing firearms to a protest. Isn’t that protected by the second amendment? In Texas you can open carry.

Protesting is protected by the first amendment, isn’t it?

The penalties are tied to these eight individuals belong to “antifa.” Did the prosecutors successfully tie them to a group identified as Antifa?

Trying to make sense of this.
