Note: ACIP changed the language again now, on the floor, compared to the site.
SCDM for negative, and they still recommend - which they do not have authority - blood draws for subsequent doses. All kinds of bad.

The new National Security Strategy is a propaganda document, designed to be widely read. It is also a performative suicide. Hard to think of another great power ever abdicating its influence so quickly and so publicly. It will be worth following the reactions around the world, not just in Europe.
Trump's national security strategy is out and some of the Europe sections are shocking. "...the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed
gives cause for great optimism."

Worth noting at no point in the 20th century have court decisions and lineups been so consistently akong party lines

Any argument that the Court is anything but an unelected partisan branch of government should be over.

And Dems should vote to rebalance it when they next gain power.
BREAKING: Supreme Court sides with Texas Republicans in fight over congressional map. The new gerrymandered map will be used in the 2026 midterms. The vote is 6–3, with the Republican appointees siding with Texas.

Reading through this, it's no wonder the investigation took so long. Seems like they were combing through cell tower data until they found someone who seemed like a plausible suspect.

No info on potential motive. Will be curious if they can land it in court -- the evidence so far is circumstantial.
UPDATE: Prosecutors helped ID Brian Cole Jr. as the suspected pipe bomber by tracing purchases he made in 2019 and 2020 that include all the components of the pipe bombs discovered outside the RNC and DNC. See the full complaint:
