Going to work should not be a death sentence. For workers at Amazon and a candle factory in Mayfield, Kentucky, going to work was a death sentence. Workers must fight for the right to a safe workplace. On Friday night, at a candle factory in Mayfield, Kentucky, an alarm sounded with a tornado warning. One employee, Elijah Johnson, approached his manager. “I asked to leave and they told me I’d be fired.” “‘Even with the weather like this, you’re still going to fire me?’” he asked the manager. The manager replied, “Yes.” Workers who took shelter in hallways and bathrooms were […]

Nancy Pelosi has been accused of harboring misinformed and constitutionally dubious opinions, after arguing that Donald Trump’s commutation of Roger Stone is proof that presidential pardon powers need to be reined in. Stone, a former aide to Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, faced more than three years behind bars for obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and making false statements to Congress. The political operative’s sentence was commuted by the president just as he was preparing to report to prison. Unsurprisingly, the Democratic House speaker used the occasion to rehash the long-debunked conspiracy theory that Trump’s campaign had “colluded” with Russia. Democratic lawmakers […]

Roger Stone, a longtime Trump confidant convicted of lying to Congress about his connection to WikiLeaks and intimidating another witness to do the same, had his sentence commuted by President Trump on Friday—just a few days before he was set to report to jail. President Trump had raised the possibility of clemency almost immediately after Stone, 67, was convicted last November, often complaining—without evidence—that Stone had been treated poorly by law enforcement or targeted unfairly. In a statement announcing Stone’s clemency, the White House described Stone as “a victim of the Russia Hoax that the Left and its allies in the […]

US President Donald Trump has commuted the ‘Russiagate’ sentence of Roger Stone, a political operative who briefly worked on his 2016 campaign, just as Stone was ordered to report to prison to serve time behind bars. Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced Stone in February to 40 months in prison for obstruction of justice, another 18 months for witness tampering, and 12 months for making false statements to Congress – but the sentences are to run concurrently, so the maximum time Stone would have spend behind bars is three and a half years. The charges stemmed from the investigation by special counsel […]
