If Hegseth saw no survivors after the first attack, why was a second attack ordered?

The myth of that a bunch of young hackers can solve any problem was debunked by DOGE. But the larger moral stain is that this was a heist.

Cost saving was a cover story to shutdown investigations into Elon’s companies, steal government data and engage in genocide by proxy via killing USAID.

And FWIW, here's how it was all described in the criminal complaint filed against Briggs:
4. On September 27, 2025, a large crowd gathered in protest of ongoing immigration enforcement operations being conducted by law enforcement authorities in the Northern District of Illinois. The crowd gathered in protest in front of an entrance to an ICE facility located on Beach Street in Broadview, Illinois (hereinafter the "Broadview Facility"). Agents from the United States Border Patrol (USBP) were working in and around the Broadview Facility to ensure the safe passage of vehicles and personnel into and out of the Broadview Facility. This included performing various crowd control functions outside the Broadview Facility. 5. The entrance to the Broadview Facility at issue includes a large metal security gate that opens onto a public street. Personnel working at the Broadview Facility routinely utilized the entrance gate to move personnel and vehicles into and out of the Broadview Facility. Individuals standing in the street during these operations created an impediment to the movement of federal government personnel and vehicles into or out of the Broadview Facility. As a result, USBP agents routinely instructed protesters, at the risk of arrest, to leave the street area when USBP agents, in the exercise of their lawful authority, needed to utilize the street in furtherance of their operations. 6. As reflected in video recordings made by third-parties and later posted to YouTube, at approximately 5:40 pm (Central Time) on September 27, 2025, USBP agents, while facing outward toward protesters, were moving backward from the street into the Broadview Facility. BRIGGS was one of multiple protesters who remained in the street facing the USBP agents and walking toward them as they retreated toward the open gate of the Broadview Facility gate. BRIGGS was located several feet from the USBP agents. 7. Prior to all of the USBP agents entering the Broadview Facility, for operational reasons, USBP agents began moving back out of the Broadview Facility into the street. As they did so, and as captured on videos posted to YouTube, USBP agents ordered all persons in the street, including BRIGGS, to leave the street to facilitate the movement of personnel and vehicles out of the Broadview Facility and into the public street. 8. However, rather than move out of the street as instructed, BRIGGS remained stationary in the street shouted "Why?" toward a USBP agent. That USBP agent then made physical contact with BRIGGS, who fell backwards onto the street. Agents then moved forward to arrest BRIGGS for refusing to follow the USBP agent's order for him to leave the street. As reflected in one YouTube video I have seen, as agents began to arrest BRIGGS, he attempted to hand his phone to another protester. At that moment, another USBP agent ("Victim A"), wearing a USBP uniform that bore insignia identifying Victim A as a USBP agent, reached forward with Victim A's left arm to prevent BRIGGS from handing off his phone. In response, BRIGGS swung his right arm toward Victim A's left arm and, in doing so, made physical contact with Victim A's left arm. BRIGGS' act of swinging his right arm toward Victim A's left arm and striking Victim A's left arm (which resulted in an audible slapping noise) is depicted in the YouTube video. Thereafter, BRIGGS was arrested without incident. 9. On September 27, 2025, an HSI case agent briefly interviewed Victim A who told the HSI case agent that BRIGGS made contact with Victim A and, in doing so, caused Victim A to experience pain in Victim A's wrist. 10. On September 28, 2025, an HSI case agent conducted a second interview of Victim A, which included review of the YouTube video with footage that depicted BRIGGS swinging his right arm toward Victim A's left arm. Victim A confirmed that it was Victim A's left arm that was depicted in the video and that it was during this portion of the video that BRIGGS made contact with Victim A. 11. Various USBP agents were equipped with BWCs at the time of BRIGGS' arrest, although not all of the agents, including Victim A, had their BWC operating at the time of the incident. Affiant has procured and reviewed the BWC of the USBP agent who physically interacted with BRIGGS prior to his arrest. Due to the position of BRIGGS' body relative to that agent at the time of BRIGGS' arrest, that BWC does not depict BRIGGS swinging his arm in the direction of Victim A. III. Conclusion 12. Based on the above information, I submit there is probable cause to believe that on or about September 27, 2025, DANA BRIGGS forcibly assaulted, resisted, opposed, impeded, and interfered with an officer of the United States, as designated in Title 18, United State Code, Section 1114, more specifically, a USBP agent, who was engaged in the performance of their official duties, and in doing so, DANA BRIGGS made physical contact with the agent, all in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 111(a)(1).

U.S. Magistrate Judge Gabriel Fuentes, in dismissing Midway Blitz-related charges against Dana Briggs last week, said he was lifting restrictions on relevant video.

Today he made the video available through the clerk's office at no cost to the public. Here's the first.

Trump's EPA is moving to strip protections from wetlands all across the country. This rule will have disastrous consequences for many American communities by polluting their drinking water and skyrocketing water treatment costs for taxpayers.

So the same David Brooks who divorced his wife of 30 years to marry his research assistant who is decades younger than him? That guy doesn't want to talk about a culture of misogyny, abuse, and patriarchy. Got it.

A lot of GenX will get screwed if ACA crumbles. Lose your job? Ageism & no healthcare--good luck if you get very sick. Unlike previous generations (Silent Gen grandparents without jobs/insurance in their 50s and 60s), there are many good treatments. Now, you just won't be able to afford them.

Interesting framing of that image. Woman and (I assume) girl surrounded by men. I can't see another woman there.

Nothing but smirking condescension from Johnson, Bessent, Vance, Leavitt, Bondi, Noem, etc., but somehow liberals are the condescending party.
Hot tip for conservatives, just b/c someone pushed back on your sexism, racism, general assholery, doesn't make them a condescending liberal.

Ross Douthat has one idea, that people shouldn’t fuck, and everything else flows downhill from that.

He couldn’t get laid in college, convinced himself he was taking a bold moral stand, and now he’s this asshole.

My high school journalism teacher used to say "common sense is the most dangerous oxymoron in the English language, followed by conventional wisdom"

That was during the Bush jr years.

Douthat and others are parasitic on liberal audiences that give them cosmopolitan cachet and would never be able to survive purely as conservative commentators

This is the guy who lied on the stand at a trial in LA, telling the jury he witnessed the defendant assault the ICE officer, when the video showed the ICE officer assault the defendant. The jury took an hour to acquit. He's referred to immigrants as "filth, trash, and scum."
