Trump Grants Clemency to Chicago Gang FounderFollowing hip-hop artist Ye’s appeal, Trump commuted Larry Hoover’s federal life sentences, but Hoover remains imprisoned on state charges.
- President Trump commuted the six federal life sentences of Larry Hoover Sr., founder of the Gangster Disciples.
- Hoover will be transferred to an Illinois state prison to complete a separate 200-year sentence.
- Hoover is considered one of Illinois’ most notorious criminals, with his gang earning $109 million annually from narcotics.
- Prosecutors caution that Hoover still maintains ties to the gang despite claims of his rehabilitation.
The reason why they imprisoned him is because he started doing positive for the community.— Ye, also known as Kanye West, during a meeting in the Oval Office where he urged Trump to commute Larry Hoover's sentence.

Meta Commits to Long-Term Nuclear Power SupplyMeta’s 20-year deal aids Illinois’ Clinton nuclear plant license renewal and supports carbon-free energy beyond 2027.
- Meta signed a 20-year agreement with Constellation Energy to keep a reactor at the Clinton nuclear plant operational.
- The contract will help cover re-licensing and operational costs after a zero-emission credit program expires in 2027.
- Clinton generates power for about 800,000 homes and plans to increase capacity by 30 megawatts.
- This deal could inspire other tech companies to back nuclear energy as a stable, clean power source.
One of the things that we hear very acutely from utilities is they want to have certainty that power plants operating today will continue to operate.— Urvi Parekh, head of global energy at Meta, commented on the importance of operational stability for power plants.

Joe Walsh Joins Democrats Amid Democracy ConcernsAfter five years as an independent, Walsh formally joins Democrats in 2024, citing threats to democracy from the GOP and Trump's influence.
- Joe Walsh, formerly a Republican congressman, has officially joined the Democratic Party, ending his independent status.
- He regards the Republican Party as a threat to democracy and calls for a coalition including moderates, progressives, and conservatives.
- Walsh dismisses the prospect of a viable third party and identifies Democrats as the primary defenders of freedom and the rule of law.
- Despite some disagreements, Walsh advocates for a broad Democratic coalition capable of defeating Trump’s Republican Party.
Donald Trump is the worst of us, and, sadly, the rest of the Republican Party emulates his cruelty, dishonesty, and authoritarianism.— Joe Walsh, former Republican Congressman, discussing the current political climate in America.
