  • Political Interference in Justice SystemTrump's tweets led to reduction in Stone's sentence, raising concerns about political influence in the justice system.

    President Trump's involvement in the sentencing of his friend and former campaign aid, Roger Stone, has raised concerns about political interference in the justice system. The initial recommended sentence of 7 to 9 years for Stone's conviction of lying to the FBI was reduced after the DOJ undercut the recommendation following Trump's tweets criticizing it as unfair. Trump denied any involvement, but his tweets suggest otherwise. This situation highlights the potential for undue influence and raises questions about the integrity of the justice system.

  • The Democratic Primary Race: Two White States Shaping the NarrativeThe Democratic primary race is being heavily influenced by the outcomes in two predominantly white states, leaving African American voters feeling overlooked. Biden is relying on strong support from this community in South Carolina to keep his campaign alive.

    The Democratic primary race has been heavily influenced by the outcomes in two predominantly white states, leaving African American voters feeling overlooked. The race between Buttigieg and Bernie is neck and neck, but the importance of the African American vote cannot be understated, as they make up 99.9% of voters who have yet to cast their ballots in the US. Biden's campaign is staking his survival on strong support from this community in South Carolina. It's unusual that the narrative of the democratic race has been shaped by two states that don't fully represent the diversity of the democratic party, leaving some feeling excluded. The race stands at an interesting point, with Buttigieg and Bernie leading, and other candidates hoping for a boost in Nevada and South Carolina.

  • UBI for necessities, not luxuriesMost people use UBI for essential expenses, debunking the myth of idleness and frivolous spending
