President Donald Trump pardoned Ross Ulbricht , the founder of the Silk Road , after serving 11 years in prison.

"The scum that worked to convict him were some of the same lunatics who were involved in the modern day weaponization of government against me. Ridiculous!" wrote Trump on Truth Social .

Vivek Ramaswamy exits the Department of Government Efficiency and instead runs for governor of Ohio .

A new proposal to ease New York City's housing crisis would make way for nearly 10,000 apartments in parts of Midtown Manhattan that do not currently allow new residential construction.

The plan would allow for some 9,700 additional homes, including 2,900 designed to be affordable for moderate- or lower-income New Yorkers .

"We will forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based," Trump said in his Monday inaugural address.
