The pipe bomb suspect getting arrested by this dumbshit iteration of the FBI after 5 years just proves even more that the people in power over the last few years cared so little about getting to the bottom of the attempted coup of January 6th and just wanted to move on and hope things worked out.

Opposition to women’s voting rights has long been a fringe, but persistent, feature of the American right. It’s been a favorite hobby horse of extremist preachers; it trended among Trump supporters on social media in the lead-up to the 2016 election...

Video of the second strike on a destroyed boat seen by members of Congress confirms our worst suspicions, @gregsargent.bsky.social reports.
The notion that these people were ever "in the fight"—as in, making war on the United States—is insane, even more so when describing two men on a capsized boat.

NEWS --> Tons of fresh detail on what video of the strike shows: Rep Adam Smith says two men are sitting on capsized boat, drugs aren't visible. Rationale officials gave for killing is they *may* have been able to keep trafficking.
"It's bad," Smith says.

Translation from terrorist:
1. russia can steal, but repercussions for their crimes are a no-no
2. Everything russia doesn’t like is a ‘casus belli’
3. russian war criminals are naturally afraid of fair courts and prefer pillaging
There’s no “peace” in their vocabulary.

It was a horror
140+ police were injured
A range of violent weapons were used by attackers
Chants to hang Mike Pence were heard
There was a gallows and guns

This is what government censorship actually looks like: defunding entire fields, deporting researchers, and quite effectively chilling speech that helps people understand how our information systems are being exploited and calls out powerful people and platforms for their bullshit.
For the last decade, the pervasive spread of bullshit & manipulation of online platforms have been widely recognized societal concerns. Now non US citizens studying those subjects can be labeled “censors” & denied visas or deported from the US. Censorship, indeed. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
Exclusive: Trump administration orders enhanced vetting for applicants of H-1B visa
An internal State Department memo said that anyone involved in "censorship" of free speech should be considered for rejection.

“And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

Hegseth stonewalled IG, refusing 1) to provide his phone for IG to probe other uses of Signal; 2) to sit for interview w/ IG. We only know about Yemeni Signal chat b/ Waltz added Goldberg to it by mistake. The scale and scope of Hegseth's security breaches still remain unknown even after IG report.
Officials reported the Secretary used additional Signal chats for DoD business. IG couldn’t verify content because he refused to provide phone access.
