The House Jan. 6 investigation committee has conducted over 800 interviews with insurrectionists and Trump aides. On a committee dominated by Democrats after Republican House leadership withdrew its cooperation, partisan differences have emerged, though in somewhat unexpected ways. Cheney, for instance, has proved more aggressive than even some committee Democrats in wanting to go directly after Trump. The Justice Department, which is carrying out its own investigation, has become a source of frustration for many committee members. In some respects, committee members will have precedents to draw on: Trump was impeached twice, including once for his role in fomenting the Jan. 6 riot.

It’s unlikely that people will abandon homes in even the most fire-prone areas, and it’s probably unnecessary, for now. State and local officials can use this new data to prioritize where they spend scarce dollars to reduce risk. In other places, it could mean making sure roads are accessible to get people out and fire trucks in. If I own a home in one of these areas, what can I do and how much will it cost me? Remember, she or he has a financial incentive to reduce those risks.

Crime is always too high because one murder a year in San Francisco would still be one murder too many. Despite this, there is a powerful movement afoot to recall San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin. The easiest way to understand these politics is as a battle between moderates and progressives in San Francisco. If voters recall Boudin, San Francisco would be placed well to the right of many American cities and counties on issues of criminal justice and, indeed, civil rights. This would be a big symbolic victory for the right, celebrated at Fox News and in conservative San Francisco circles.

The department said it had advised Wynn repeatedly over the last four years to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, or FARA, and is suing now because Wynn refused to do so. AdvertisementThough the Justice Department has ramped up efforts to criminally prosecute people who don’t register as foreign agents, officials described this case as the first lawsuit of its kind in more than three decades. A spokesperson for the department declined to comment on why the department had pursued a lawsuit rather than criminal charges. The government in Macau had restricted the number of gaming tables and machines that could be operated at Wynn’s casino, the Justice Department says, and he was scheduled to renegotiate licenses to operate casinos in 2019. Chinese authorities have accused Guo of rape, kidnapping, bribery and other offenses and have sought the return of the self-exiled tycoon.
