Liberty Nation News: DEVELOPING: Biden Grants 39 Pardons, Commutes 1,500 Sentences - Liberty Nation News
President Biden commuted nearly 1,500 sentences and granted 39 pardons, primarily for non-violent offenses. This action is the largest single-day clemency in modern history and exceeds the number of commutations issued by recent predecessors at the same point in their terms.
Biden's clemency efforts follow his pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, and he plans to continue reviewing clemency petitions. Barack Obama previously held the record with 330 grants in a single day before leaving office.

Le Monde: EU states agree full Schengen accession for Bulgaria and Romania
Bulgaria and Romania have been approved to join the Schengen zone, effective January 1, 2025, after a 13-year wait. Their full entry follows Austria's decision to drop its veto, addressing migration concerns through a "border protection package" agreement.

Liberty Nation News: Alvin Bragg’s Final Gambit - Liberty Nation News
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has outlined options for sentencing former President Trump regarding 34 felony convictions, notably omitting any path for appeal. This suggests a strategy to maintain Trump's "convicted felon" status throughout his presidency, raising concerns about the fairness of the legal process.
Bragg's proposals include suspending the case until Trump's term ends or adopting a remedy that halts proceedings without vacating the verdict. Critics argue this undermines Trump's legal rights and reflects a politically motivated prosecution rather than a pursuit of justice.

GB News: 'Labour plans to bulldoze through rural areas to meet housing targets,' Conservatives warn
Labour's goal to construct 1.5 million homes in five years has faced backlash from Shadow Housing Secretary Kevin Hollinrake, who argues it threatens rural communities and green belt areas. He claims the plans disproportionately increase housing targets in rural regions while cutting them in urban areas like London.
Hollinrake also raised concerns over the potential loss of local democratic control in housing decisions, suggesting that the government plans to bypass local councils in approving new developments. He emphasized the need for housing to be built in appropriate locations with community consent.

The Economist: This week’s cover
Syria faces an uncertain future following Bashar al-Assad's departure to Moscow. The country, diverse in its population and faiths, has struggled with stability and democracy. The new leaders are not necessarily peaceful, but the fall of Assad signals a rejection of Iranian and Russian influence.
Despite challenges ahead, there is a sense of hope among Syrians celebrating the end of a tyrannical regime. The potential for peace exists, albeit on a long and difficult path.
