What's Not Being Said about the Alleged Pipe Bomber - emptywheel The arrest affidavit for Brian Cole, now accused of laying the pipe bombs discovered on January 6, includes only purchase records and location information. There's not a single data point between the ...

I'm satisfied that the have PC against Brian Cole, though I think IF THIS IS ALL it is a lower standard of certainty than on most Jan6 cases.

But IF THIS IS ALL the case is going to be VERYYY susceptible to 4A challenge on the cell dumps.

Seems like if several ubiquitous health care interventions cause autism, we should really be studying those freaks who ended up neurotypical.

“TV station”

Are you airing Kimmel tonight?

“No, our parent company is preempting it.”

Are you airing the news?

“Yes.”

Good. I’m going to watch and then call all your advertisers and tell them I’m not buying their products because they support a station that’s censoring free speech.

It’s critical that we support the arts…🏆

Epsteins gone but otherwise nothing has really changed.

Trump's staff and Cabinet picks show he still likes them young, pretty, and dumb as a box of rocks - boys and girls alike.

Fox News has replaced Epstein as the place to hunt talent, providing 37 "personalities" to Trump so far.

Good morning Foxy and Blue Resistance!!! 💙💙💙☕☕☕

I hope everyone's having a good day so far.

Also, here's your daily reminder that El Pollo Loco is a dementia-addled, diaper-wearing Fuckmuppet! 😈

The Real Reason We Want to See MAGA as a Cult Understanding Trump’s movement this way helps us believe it will come to some disastrous end.

We don’t want to see it as a cult. It IS a cult.

"Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political & cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -Isaac Asimov

Castor: They told Heidy Sánchez, ‘Come in early—we want to check on your status.’ And she did the right thing… And at that ICE meeting, they took her. They took her away from her child. This is a breastfeeding mother. They flew her to another detention center in Miami, and then onto a plane to Cuba.

Wow, everything he touches turns to crap. Maybe he's not the genius everyone was raving about after all.

In Greek mythology, Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water.

We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause.

Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent!

Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation.

Mark Kelly is about as centrist and polite as you can get and would never attack a fellow veteran. Kelly literally said he couldn’t find a single quality in Hegseth that would permit him to run the military. Kelly’s words were a stunning indictment.

Senator King: Are we going to abide by the Geneva convention or are we not?

Hegseth: What an America First policy is not going to do is hand it's prerogatives over to international bodies.

Um. What?🙄

Pete Hegseth REPEATEDLY deflected questions today by saying "I'm not going to answer a hypothetical."

But, as the Secretary of Defense, isn't that his FUCKING job, to answer hypotheticals? We're not at war, but what happens if we go to war with "__?" How many hypothetical "war makers" do you need?

For those of you glued to the Hegseth confirmation and may have missed it, Nancy Mace screamed that she was a grown woman and then immediately challenged Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett to physically fight her… so there’s that. Mace continues to be an embarrassment.
