Thousands of nonviolent federal prisoners eligible for early release under a promising Trump-era law remain locked up nearly four years later due to inadequate implementation, confusion and bureaucratic delays, prisoner advocacy groups, affected inmates and former federal prison officials say. The problem, advocates say: They are identifying inmates whose time credits aren’t getting applied, and in some cases, the inmates aren’t getting released as early as they should be. President Donald Trump, with Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, by his side, signs the First Step Act on Dec. 21, 2018. In order to collect time credits for early release under the First Step Act, inmates must be at a “minimum” or “low” risk of re-offending and not have been convicted of certain serious crimes. She said she was given no guidance by the prison, other than being told in December 2019 that she was a minimum-risk offender eligible under the First Step Act.

Israel said on Sunday it would test a bullet that killed a Palestinian-American journalist to determine whether one of its soldiers shot her and said a U.S. observer would be present for the procedure that could deliver results within hours. The Palestinians, who on Saturday handed over the bullet to a U.S. security coordinator, said they had been assured that Israel would not take part in the ballistics. The test will be an Israeli test, with an American presence throughout,” said Israeli military spokesman Brigadier-General Ran Kochav. Israeli Deputy Internal Security Minister Yoav Segalovitz said Lapid had been involved in “managing the arrival and transfer of this bullet”. “It will take a few days to conduct a ballistic test, with several experts, to ensure that there is an unequivocal assessment,” Segalovitz told Army Radio.

WASHINGTON — Gail Curley, the Supreme Court’s marshal, has written to Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and the top official in Montgomery County, just outside Washington, asking them both to enforce state and county laws that prohibit picketing at private homes. When the demonstrations began, after the draft Supreme Court abortion decision was leaked in May, Hogan said he was “deeply concerned” that hundreds of people were picketing outside the homes of some justices who live in his state. “This is exactly the kind of conduct that Maryland and Montgomery County laws prohibit.”In late June, the high court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade, which guaranteed a constitutional right to abortion. The court’s marshal is ultimately in charge of court security and the Supreme Court’s own police force.

☆ Biden Administration Weighs Move to Trim Mortgage Costs as Home Prices Rise
▼ + stars: | 2022-07-02 | by ( Andrew Ackerman | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

Median home prices rose above $400,000 for the first time in May. WASHINGTON—The Biden administration is weighing a move to trim mortgage costs for first-time and lower-income buyers, a bid to boost affordability when average home prices are at an all-time high. President Biden’s affordability push has so far largely focused on steps to ease constraints on the supply of new homes, a primary driver of a rapid run-up in home prices in recent years. Steps to ease costs on certain borrowers could help modestly but more meaningful steps to address affordability are likely to come only from increased supply, housing experts said.

A Supreme Court case that will decide the power state legislatures wield over congressional and presidential elections could have far-reaching implications for American democracy, some voting rights experts said. The Supreme Court said Thursday it would take up a North Carolina case that centers on whether the state's Republican-led Legislature is the only entity that can set the rules for federal elections. The state Supreme Court said Republicans had "systematically" made it harder for Democrats to elect members of their choosing and barred the Legislature from using its preferred map. For example, in Michigan, an independent commission of citizens now draws the state’s redistricting maps instead of state legislators. If the Supreme Court were to endorse the independent state legislature doctrine wholeheartedly, all these commissions and procedures could be subject to legal challenges that could unravel their power over federal elections.

Bezos' yacht was too tall to pass underneath the bridge, but public outcry halted the plans. The company worried locals would vandalize the ship as it passed by, Dutch newspaper Trouw reported. The Dutch shipbuilder constructing Jeff Bezos' megayacht scrapped its request that a historic bridge be dismantled to accommodate the Amazon founder's vessel. It seems that Oceanco may have abandoned its plans to take apart the bridge following public outcry earlier this year.

Under his leadership, the central bank unleashed a quick and creative response to an unprecedented economic crisis. By lifting rates, the central bank aims to slow Americans' spending and close the gap between supply and demand. Higher rates also slow economic growth, meaning companies will likely hire at a slower pace and issue smaller raises in the near future. Google searches for " recession " surged to record highs amid fears that the Fed's aggressive hiking plans could slow economic growth to a halt. The central bank took a gamble early in the pandemic, Nygaard said, allowing inflation to run hotter than usual in pursuit of a faster labor-market recovery.

Some analysts now believe that the hikers’ detention was initiated by hard-liners within Iran’s fractious government who wished to block rapprochement with the West. In other words, the goal may have been not to win American concessions but to prevent them. The American hikers were released two years later, just as reformists ascended within Tehran. Those cases can blur with instances driven by authoritarian security services more motivated by paranoia or overzealousness than any geopolitical agenda. Cases might be resolved through high-level diplomacy simply because it is the only way to cut through those countries’ autocratic legal systems.

"It left Karystos at 06:30 am (0330 GMT) and is expected to reach Piraeus around 10:00 pm," one official said. Part of the ship's Iranian oil cargo had already been transferred to another ship, Ice Energy, which was hired by the United States and is moored off Piraeus port.

Pairs, reversed images and alter egos haunt “The Double,” a new exhibition opening July 10 at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Starting around 1900, curator James Meyer says, many modern artists were drawn to the theme of doubling, some of them inspired by Freud’s insights on conflicting mental processes and by photographic techniques like double exposures. The avant-garde photographer Man Ray found that even a slight suggestion of doubling could be powerfully unsettling. The resulting portrait was blurred and seemed to have four eyes, suggesting a woman with clashing personas. To drive the point home, Man Ray also printed and exhibited a photographic negative of Casati, turning every white in the picture to black, and vice versa.

There were six Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade last week. However, in the aftermath of the ruling, there has been an intense and particular focus on a different justice: Clarence Thomas. “I was a radical.”Thomas seems to have been put on this path by the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. King had advanced a particularly optimistic view of white liberals and cross-racial advocacy. It should be noted that these eugenics initiatives were pushed heavily by white liberals of the time, also in the name of helping the marginalized and disadvantaged. Thomas has no trust in similar social justice rhetoric being deployed by abortion rights advocates today.
