Chicago police won't discipline 9 officers tied to Oath Keepers extremist group
The investigation is closed and the allegations were not sustained, a spokeswoman for the CPD said in a statement, declining to provide any documents from the internal probe.
The brief statement stood in stark contrast to Chicago Police Supt. Larry Snellings zero-tolerance vow to the City Council in October, after WBEZ and the Chicago Sun-Times revealed the misconduct records of cops with ties to the Oath Keepers.
In a joint investigation, Extremism in the Ranks, WBEZ, the Sun-Times and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project found 27 current and former Chicago police officers whose names appeared in leaked Oath Keepers membership records. Nine remained on active duty, some with troubling disciplinary histories, according to public records.

...
The Scout reported that Noems book also contains at least two instances in which she recounts meetings with world leaders that are in dispute.
In one, Noem writes: Through my tenure on the House armed services committee, I had the chance to travel to many countries to meet with world leaders.
I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. Im sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants (Id been a childrens pastor, after all).
But the Scout quoted one longtime, high-level Capitol Hill staffer who worked on the armed services committee when Noem was on it, between 2013 and 2015, as saying: Its bullshit.

Reporter: Is the gag order stopping you from testifying? Trump: No. It won't stop me from testifying.
Trump: No. It wont stop me from testifying. The gag order is not for testifying. It stops me from talking about people and responding when they say things about me..

The posts that Merchan ordered Trump take down are now gone
Merchan had ruled earlier Tuesday that the posts had violated Trump's gag order and the former president would be fined $9,000. The judge also threatened Trump with possible jail time if he continues to violate the order.

US drug control agency will move to reclassify marijuana in a historic shift, AP sources say
Source: AP
WASHINGTON (AP) The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will move to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug, The Associated Press has learned, a historic shift to generations of American drug policy that could have wide ripple-effects across the country.
The DEAs proposal, which still must be reviewed by the White House Office of Management and Budget, would recognize the medical uses of cannabis and acknowledge it has less potential for abuse than some of the nations most dangerous drugs. However, it would not legalize marijuana outright for recreational use.
The agencys move, confirmed to the AP on Tuesday by five people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive regulatory review, clears the last significant regulatory hurdle before the agencys biggest policy change in over 50 years can take effect.
Once OMB signs off, the DEA will take public comment on the plan to move marijuana from its current classification as a Schedule I drug, alongside heroin and LSD. It moves pot to Schedule III, alongside ketamine and some anabolic steroids, following a recommendation from the federal Health and Human Services Department. After the public-comment period the agency would publish the final rule.
