All told, Mr. Trump's clemency orders have erased at least $119 million in unpaid restitution since January 2025, a CBS News investigation has found.

By contrast, clemency orders by former President Joe Biden erased $14,000 during his four years in office, Justice Department records show. The vast majority of Biden's orders were commutations that left financial penalties intact, rather than pardons.

Primorsky Krai’s regional Labor Ministry said social payments in the krai could be temporarily delayed.

The ministry said the regional budget is currently “operating under increased strain, including due to the need to address nationwide tasks connected to the special military operation.”

“Under these conditions, funding for certain social support measures is being disbursed in stages, so the transfer of some payments may be temporarily delayed,” the ministry said, adding that it “understands” how important timely social support is for residents of the krai, and the “concern of those who are now waiting for the funds to be transferred.”

Authorities in the Nizhneilimsky district, in the Irkutsk region, plan to cut about 37% of the staff at the district administration and public-sector institutions, said Pavel Berezovsky, head of the district. The first to be let go, he said, will be night watchmen at schools, kindergartens, and community centers, along with employees of the municipal enterprises “Service Center” and “Clean City.”

A state ballot initiative would stop artificial persons, including corporations, from contributing to campaigns and political parties. It could change America as we know it.

TRANSCRIPT

“There is too much damn money in politics.”

“It’s corrupting the system.”

LIZ SCHELTENS, MORE PERFECT UNION: We hear all the time about how impossibly divided Americans are.

PBS News Hour CLIP: A dramatic rise in partisan animosity

MSNBC CLIP: Where we are as a nation, how we’re so politically divided

JONATHAN HAIDT DEBATE CLIP: We’re tribal. We evolved for tribalism.

SCHELTENS: Which is why I was surprised when I came across this poll. It shows more than 70 percent approval for a bunch of different ideas — cracking down on corporations buying up our housing stock, a $15 minimum wage, capping insulin costs, ending junk fees — everywhere we go, people tell us the same thing about why none of this universally popular stuff gets done.

MORE PERFECT UNION CLIP: People can run on a certain platform, but I have a feeling that even if you do get elected, at the end of the day a guy in a suit with a briefcase full of money shows up and tells you how it’s going to be

MORE PERFECT UNION CLIP: Some people are taking a lot of money from the industry. They’re getting paid a lot of money to keep their mouth shut.

MORE PERFECT UNION CLIP: That’s what kind of influence money buys.

MORE PERFECT UNION CLIP: It’s just more corporate greed and big companies thinking they can do whatever they want.

SCHELTENS: Ever since Citizens United came down in 2010, corporations and the wealthy have had a chokehold on our politics. But what if I told you that regular people in states across the country had come up with an ingenious fix?

To hear the former Yahoo CEO tells it, the creepy AI assistant is meant to help women delegate monotonous chores.

“Women, this is my own bias, tend to take more photos and are more visual, and so being able to work with AI in a visual medium is fun,” Mayer told the NYT. “It essentially understands your personality, your likes, your dislikes, because it knows what you think looks good.”

Parent of the year!

From the technological Olympus of Silicon Valley to the urban canyons of Wall Street, a narrow club of vastly wealthy plutocrats sits on a ballooning share of the nation’s resources. One percent of Americans at the apex of the economy are hoarding over 31% of the nation’s total wealth, a cool $55tn in net worth.

Getting them to share with the rest of society, to fund redistribution or pay for public goods, is proving pretty much impossible. Their ability to move resources around, hide profit across jurisdictions, and minimize income to hoard wealth until they die appears to put them beyond the reach of taxation.

One recent research paper found that the country’s richest 384 oligarchs paid only 24% of their economic income in 2025, compared with 30% for the average taxpayer. And not all of them are getting top notch tax advice. Reporting by ProPublica revealed that some of the richest Americans – like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett and Michael Bloomberg – live largely tax free.
