Court proceedings are about to begin for Cleveland Grover Meredith, Jr., whom prosecutors say texted "War time" on the day of the insurrection after receiving a message "Pence blew it."

Stand by.
He begins by arguing that interstate threats are a crime of violence, warranting continuing detention.
Meredith drove from Colorado to D.C. "to participate in a violent insurrection" on Jan. 6, which he called one of the most "hellish" days in the history of our nation's capitol.
Meredith wanted to use "armor piercing bullets," and it "just so happened" that this ammunition was found in his truck.
"Clearly this is someone who relished in the carnage," Baset said. "He relished, even after seeing what had happened."
The magistrate asks why.
Prosecutor: "His car malfunctioned, and he got here late."

The Supreme Court also found vaccine mandates legal since 1905, making it more than century-old settled law.
(The decision was over the state enforcing vaccine mandates, but the same principle applies.)

Typically excellent piece from @dsquareddigest The exponential insight is especially neat. Think of it a little like fishing...today you can’t export oysters to the EU (because you simply aren’t allowed to), tomorrow you don’t have a fish exporting business (to the EU).
The extremely small minority of people who known anything about this who think that Brexit will be good for the City make a number of arguments which I shall address in turn...
1. They need us more than we need them. This is a variant of the German carmakers argument. And we know how that went...Business will follow the profit opportunity and if that has moved then so will the business...
And what do we mean by us / we. We’re not talking about massed ranks of Euro investing / trading etc blue blooded British institutions.
Au contraire. We’re talking about the London based subs of US, Asian and indeed European capital markets players...As soon as they think the profit opportunity has moved then so will they...it’s a market innit...
