Bureau of Prisons

* In case you were confused with Trump’s position on white supremacy because he condemned Nazis today, Trump is reportedly thinking of pardoning Sheriff Joe. Actions speak louder than two-day late statements read without taking questions. [The Hill]

* Trump is launching a trade probe of China. Given the general competence of this administration, I expect a full report on Japanese trade practices in a few months. [Talking Points Memo]

* In light of Ken Fraizer from Merck leaving the service of our Dear Leader over Trump’s response to Charlottsville, maybe it’s time to put pressure on other business leaders to distance themselves from Trump? [Going Concern]

* The Federal Bureau of Prisons announced that it would start providing feminine hygiene products for free. I wanted to put one good news story in here, and I thought this was it. But then I starting thinking, “wait, so before now federal prisoners had to pay for feminine hygiene products? And what about state prisons? What other kind of medieval prison conditions do we still allow to persist?” [Law Street Media]

* The doxxing of white supremacists continues. This is my good news story. [Jezebel]

* There’s been a 75% increase in “lawful homicides” in Florida since its “Stand Your Ground” law took effect a decade ago. But there’s also been a 22% increase in straight up murders. So, Florida’s general attempt to kill itself to rid us of their stupidity seems to be going well. [Reuters]
