So Bondi and Kash make a big deal out of arresting the J6 pipe bomber then the guy confesses that he is a Trump supporter who thought the 2020 election was stolen and his lawyer is arguing that Trump’s broadly-worded J6 blanket pardon applies to him and he should go free. Poetry.

TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded

Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.

Reminder: This vast consolidation of wealth and power at the top has not been due to neutral market forces.
There’s no such thing as a “free market.”
It is designed.
It either advances public purposes or it serves the monied interests.

For this week’s bonus “One First,” I wrote about the legal questions surrounding any attempt to court-martial Senator Mark Kelly—and why (1) it’s not likely to go anywhere; (2) the threat is still ominous; and (3) the real story continues to be what the military is *doing,* not who’s criticizing it:

Secretary Hegseth has threatened to court-martial a sitting U.S. Senator for a ... truthful video. Even though Kelly *is* subject to court-martial, such a prosecution would face insuperable obstacles.
