At least two suspects are in custody.

Wonderful, exciting news – my Reynard the Fox is now an audiobook! Completely unabridged and read by the perfect narrator, Joseph Edward Degnan. It's available now at all the usual places, see below for links and a clip!
Sometimes the Maleperduys kitchens were cold and bare,
with only potage and pea soup and coarse dark bread and lean
scraps of bacon and dull, cheap dishes like peas-on-a-stick...

In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.
The 25th anniversary of Bush v Gore is today. The conspiracy mongering & corruption of the GOP has been brewing for a long time.

Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh were all on Bush's legal team, where they pushed unfounded legal theories. SC justices were already enmeshed in voter fraud myths.
Here's Sandra Day O'Connor endorsing News Max levels of voter fraud conspiracies in the 2000 election.

Excellent. But again, do not trust MTG. She's not a good person. She's not welcome in my tent - even if she apologizes for and acknowledges her role in the insurrection. www.ms.now/news/marjori...

The repeatedly threatened firing of Jerome Powell never came, and most of the media moved on. They shouldn’t have. The threats to Fed independence have continued, and got darker this week: lnk.thebulwark.com/4iTaf6l
The Sleeper Issue That Could Destroy the Economy
Trump may have stopped threatening Jerome Powell—but he’s still got designs to control the Fed.

Bennie Thompson on Noem: "Her arrival was short lived. She left in the middle of the hearing ostensibly to go to another meeting. We found that the meeting had been canceled, so she could've stayed. But nonetheless, we're not surprised, because this is who she is."

“The Trump administration is openly declaring its desire to steer Europe in a more right-wing, more populist, and more authoritarian direction—under the cover of preserving democracy and freedom of speech.”
New Trump Security Strategy Turns Against the Free World

Yes, that's right, the <4th> largest funder of UW - Madison is now dictating new teaching load requirements, w/o any input from the 3 largest (the federal government, tuition payers, private donors). A huge unfunded mandate. Something something run the government like a business something something.
