The judge explains that while she hasn't accepted the government's indictment, an indictment isn't the only path to prove probable cause. Here, the judge has determined there IS probable cause Cole did this, and holds him in pretrial detention based on danger to the community.
JUST IN: A magistrate judge has ordered alleged pipe bomber Brian Cole detained pending trial.
He’ll likely appeal this to his eventual trial judge if/when there is an accepted federal indictment.

The Year America Broke Open
It would be silly to pretend that 2025 was not among the most challenging years this country has faced in modern times.

A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”

Large law firms are siding with Trump over their clients and employees. Let me give you one statistic to exemplify this:
DOJ is suing 22 states for access to sensitive voter data.
My firm of 60 lawyers is fighting in all 22.
Not a single big law firm is fighting along side us in any case.

So now MTG is leading a FEDERAL TAX REVOLT for this year to stop the Fascist Regime radical spending. This is from MeidasTouch. Which I do agree with her on this. The Regime has been spending money like drunken assholes. The biggest waste is ICE. They want to deport 108 million dark people.
