However, the lawsuit alleges that the Ohio Parole Board has a practice of denying parole to these inmates, which has been in place since at least 2016....

“You’re seeing your country slip away. Free speech is under attack from Big Tech censorship, leftist radicalism and a culture of fear and intimidation,” Walker says in a video about a new initiative from his perch as president of Young America’s Foundation (YAF), one of the nation’s largest organizations for college conservatives. “Conservatives are shamed into silence for fear of social stigma, and even economic ruin,” the former Republican presidential candidate claims in the video, which will be used to raise money and awareness for a program to launch Monday that he has dubbed “The Long Game....

Richard W. Painter shared a New York Times opinion article Tuesday saying that Barr is on a theocratic mission and is using Justice Department power to promote “religious nationalism.” Painter argued that Barr is subverting the Constitution and appealing to conservative evangelicals for support.

The Briton led from pole position last week at Monza and the race turned in danger of turning into the kind of procession that has characterized Formula 1 in recent years, until Hamilton was given a 10-second penalty for pitting for fresh tires while the pit-lane was closed, a fact which eluded both him and his team. Coupled with Hamilton’s penalty, two safety cars in quick succession reshuffled the pack and produced one of the most memorable races in recent history, with Alpha Tauri’s Pierre Gasly taking a maiden win and becoming the first French driver to finish top of the podium of a Formula 1 race since 1996, while McLaren’s Carlos Sainz finished second and Lance Stroll came third for Racing Point....
