Waiting on the identity on the charged bomber, but as an old explosives prosecutor, I'll say that evidence of identity can come from bomb signatures recognized by investigators w/institutional knowledge, components & where they were purchased, or tips. Revisiting old evidence can be illuminating.

Himes: They posed zero threat to anyone in the region, and we killed them.
Himes: It was exceedingly hard to watch. Even if you stipulate that it is a war, there is a very specific prohibition against killing individuals who have been removed from the fight. And there is no question that these individuals were removed from the fight.

Even if people verified their registration, if a GOP SoS purged all "black or foreign-sounding names" from the voter rolls AFTER the deadline to re-register, what are voters supposed to do? They could only re-register for the NEXT election the following year.

MAGA trained an ARMY of poll workers to throw out mail-in ballots with "minority-sounding" names. People received one notification and had one day to come in and cure their ballots. If they missed that opportunity, their vote didn't count.

I agree with you, but also understand that the GOP plays dirty. It's not always the best strategy to shame voters as if they didn't try to vote. You could push them away more than you motivate them to vote for your preferred candidate.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power.
It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.
