Kind of weird. The New Orleans guy was ex-military but his life seemed to be spiraling. This guy was one year from getting out of the Army with his 20 years, special forces, and just had a baby.

It will be interesting to see his motivation. He just doesn't seem like the type.

Did he have a new baby or did his ex-wife have a new baby with her new husband?

Republicans’ real immigration dilemma: How big to go in Congress | Semafor

Donald Trump is wading into a fight over highly-skilled worker visas, but there’s a bigger debate already underway.

Republicans’ real immigration dilemma: How big to go in Congress​


“… The GOP is preparing to take up an infusion of border security money as soon as this month, but it hasn’t settled on how broadly to craft that bill. There’s a twist: To get an immigration bill done without a filibuster, Republicans may need to bend or even break some of the Senate rules.

The border spending bill that Trump and congressional Republicans are mulling would devote as much as $100 billion to border security, including barriers, technology and manpower; it would be paid for by new energy leases.

To get it to Trump’s desk without having to seek Democratic votes or changing Senate precedent, however, the GOP will need to limit any policy changes they add to their bill — a central tenet of the filibuster protections they plan to use.

… “I’ve heard rumors that there is going to be a movement to pressure Senate Republicans to overrule the parliamentarian in order to enact policy in reconciliation,” retiring Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., told Semafor.

Sinema warned that doing so would be “a backdoor elimination of the filibuster, and very dangerous.”

While the filibuster-proof reconciliation rules are designed to limit bills to fiscal policy only, Republicans have plenty of reasons to want to push the boundaries. Their biggest motivation is the staying power of laws: Trump will have broad sway over many executive actions on immigration, but President Joe Biden dismantled some of Trump’s first-term moves, and a future Democratic president could do the same. …”

Specifically the Las Vegas cybertruck guy, I believe he is married and had a baby in June.

I’ve seen others claim that a lot of the overnight reporting about that missed that he and his wife had divorced and they had mistakenly attributed her new child to the bomber guy. But I didn’t chase down the rabbit hole to figure out which is correct. Plenty of folks claiming the wife “radicalized” the bomber to be a Bernie Bro. 🤷‍♀️

So apparently the bomber guy also moved on and apparently had a new baby with another woman (with reservations for the internet sleuths getting a lot wrong on the regular).

Doh. You are right. That's his ex-wife with a new man and new baby.
 
Not typically considered appropriate behavior by a member of the incoming (or existing) U.S. government…

Elon Musk Calls for Fresh UK Elections in Latest Starmer Attack​

  • Billionaire calls for release from jail of right-wing agitator
  • Posts follow volley of criticism that started in the summer



 
Vance making sure to give Musk backing on picking sides in German election while trying to pretend he is not doing so. Hiding behind calling something “Interesting” isn’t a word that provides as much cover as folks using it to amplify certain stories or POVs pretend.
