Facebook’s Oversight Board has decided the fate of Trump’s account. Here’s everything you need to know. wapo.st/339UDp1
It’s been four months since former president Donald Trump was last allowed to post on Facebook, after CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he was banned “indefinitely.”

The suspension came after Trump weaponized the Web to help stoke a riot at the U.S. Capitol. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
Trump has lost much of his direct online communication with supporters since the major social media networks kicked him off in January.

He still has been sending out news releases and messages to supporters, however. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
Tension had been building between Trump and Facebook for nearly six years before the company indefinitely suspended him after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

From June 2020: washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
The impending decision by the Oversight Board, a less than one-year-old body that describes itself as an “experiment” in the regulation of online speech, could be the most consequential decision ever regarding free speech on social media, experts say. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

The United States plans to administer Venezuela for an extended period of time as it rebuilds the country’s oil industry, President Donald Trump said Saturday, holding open the door to an extended occupation of a nearby nation.

🧵 Here’s the latest: wapo.st/3NsHBx5Image
The mission to take Maduro out of power was named “Operation Absolute Resolve,” Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine said.

The operation began at 10:46 p.m. and involved more than 150 aircraft, launching from 20 different bases. wapo.st/3NsHBx5
The U.S. recently deployed two Army Delta Force units, which established a “pattern of life” on Maduro ahead of the operation by tracking his location and daily movements, according to a person familiar with the deployment. wapo.st/3NsHBx5

A sweeping set of tariffs from President Donald Trump went into effect overnight, raising import taxes on merchandise from dozens of countries.

Here's what to know: wapo.st/3Hkb4qvImage
Goods from nations with which the U.S. does hundreds of billions of dollars of trade, such as India, Switzerland and South Africa, will see new taxes of up to 39 percent, with India’s rate set to jump to 50 percent in three weeks.

How do tariffs work?

Tariffs are like a sales tax applied at the border to an importer.

They're an opportunity to raise public revenue and can theoretically incentivize domestic production and protect certain industries from being undercut by foreign competitors.Image

As the coronavirus tore through the world in 2020, and the United States confronted a shortage of tests designed to detect the illness, then-President Donald Trump secretly sent coveted tests to Russian President Vladimir Putin for his personal use. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
Putin accepted the supplies but took pains to prevent political fallout.

He cautioned Trump not to reveal that he had dispatched the scarce medical equipment to Moscow, according to “War,” a new book by Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
Four years later, the personal relationship between the two men appears to have persisted, Woodward reports, as Trump campaigns to return to the White House and Putin orchestrates his bloody assault on Ukraine.

Mark Robinson, the firebrand Republican nominee for governor in North Carolina, has for years made comments downplaying and making light of sexual assault and domestic violence. wapo.st/3KQffZ6
A review of Robinson’s social media posts over the past decade shows that he frequently questioned the credibility of women who aired allegations of sexual assault against prominent men, including Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby and now-U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh. wapo.st/3KQffZ6Mark Robinson addresses supporters during a campaign event in Faison, North Carolina on February 17, 2024. Photo by Madeline Gray for The Washington Post.

Exclusive: A Washington Post investigation has found that over the past two decades, hundreds of law enforcement officers in the United States have sexually abused children while officials at every level of the criminal justice system have failed to protect kids, punish abusers and prevent additional crimes. wapo.st/3XiNgZCWP Exclusive: Hundreds of police officers have sexually abused children. In many cases, they avoided prison time.
The Post conducted an exclusive analysis of the nation’s most comprehensive database of police crimes.

From 2005 through 2022, reporters identified at least 1,800 state and local law enforcement officers who were charged with crimes involving child sexual abuse. wapo.st/3XiNgZC
Police and court documents show that abusive officers frequently spent months befriending and grooming kids.

Many used the threat of arrest or physical harm to make their victims comply. wapo.st/3XiNgZC
Pictured here are officers, who are among those convicted of serious crimes involving child sexual abuse, such as rape, sexual assault and child molestation, among other charges. Text with the image reads, “Here are some of The Post’s top findings: 99% of arrested officers were male, 66% of arrested officers had more than five years of service, 47 of those arrested were chiefs of police, top sheriffs or other agency heads, Nearly 40% of convicted officers were not sentenced to prison”
