According to an internal police report, two years before arresting the rapper Meek Mill on drug and gun charges, then-Philadelphia Police Officer Reginald Graham stole money in a drug bust and later lied to the FBI about the theft. 

The 2016 Internal Affairs report notes Graham’s involvement in a 2005 drug raid and a failed FBI polygraph test. Meek Mill’s attorney noted that Graham was on the District Attorney’s Office list of current and former police deemed unworthy.

DA Larry Krasner said in a court filing last week that his office was not opposed to Mill’s release from prison on bail. He said there was “a strong showing of likelihood of [Mill’s] conviction being reversed” in whole or part.

Washington Post- On Wednesday, congressional leaders reached a $1.3 trillion spending deal to keep government operations running through September.

The release of the 2,000-plus-page bill Wednesday evening, after a two-day delay, touched off a legislative sprint as lawmakers try to pass it before Friday night, the deadline to avoid a government shutdown. And with a key senator unwilling to say whether he would agree to accelerate the deal’s consideration, it remained uncertain whether they would be able to meet the challenge.

“The members know what is at stake,” House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) said late Wednesday after leaving House meetings during which his whip team began counting votes for the bill. “We have to pay our troops and support our president.”

Should You Delete Facebook?

Quartz- Following the news on Facebook around revelations that data firm Cambridge Analytica harvested and exploited users’ data without their permission, many users declared they were through with the platform. The hashtag #deletefacebook spread rapidly on Twitter (another social network that uses targeted advertising and was exploited by Russians), with people from all sides of the political spectrum raising concerns about security, privacy, the company’s influence on democracy, and its lack of transparency. Others talked about how deleting Facebook made them happier humans.

All of these reasons are legitimate and understandable. But, for many, quitting Facebook might be a tall order—and that is perfectly understandable as well. The platform has been in many people’s lives for over a decade, becoming the one place on the internet where they can find and connect with everyone they’ve ever known. It’s a massive trove of memories, and a digital passport of sorts (not to mention its uses for work and business).
