Whether the suspect is pardoned or not, it’s heartening to know that people continued to pursue leads, follow evidence, and did their jobs without regard for the politics of the moment. And if the suspect is pardoned, one hopes that act will have consequences for those who support that decision.
NEWS: We’ve confirmed reports that there’s been an arrest in connection with the Jan. 6 pipe bombs. The man is expected to appear in court later today. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Incredible. What a true patriot sounds like.
Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.
