From CBS News at 8:30 pm:
“A man with materials to make explosives and an active Jan. 6-related warrant was arrested by law enforcement in former President Barack Obama's Washington, D.C., neighborhood, multiple sources briefed on the matter tell CBS News.
Several sources identified the suspect as 37-year-old Taylor Taranto, of Seattle, Washington. Secret Service spotted him within blocks of the Obama's home, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the matter. Taranto fled, and Secret Service chased him. He was running toward the Obama home, but was apprehended before reaching it.
Taranto's van was parked close to where he was arrested. There were multiple weapons and the materials to make some kind of explosive device akin to a Molotov cocktail, but it had not been assembled, according to law enforcement officials familiar with the details. He had said he had explosives, but first responders only found the materials to make them.
U.S. officials were concerned because Taranto had made threats during recent livestreams on social media against a public figure. He also had an open warrant on charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol. He wasn't in Obama's neighborhood by mistake, a U.S. official noted.”

But not to worry, folks. Chief Justice Roberts reminded us again today that this whole race thing is behind us.
It was a matter of time, you know. The Trump cult is out there, armed to the teeth and mad that Obama ever became POTUS.
But no, racism doesn't exist, according to the Supreme Court, we should just keep moving on, nothing to see here.
I think this is a powder keg waiting to go off, just like a few years ago. Everyone is jumpy, hot, tired and sick. The summer is just starting, too.
Thanks for the update. I knew he had been arrested on the outstanding warrant, but the results of sweeping his vehicle were not public. This shit is not going to end in my lifetime. There are too many unwrapped folks, too many damned guns, and too much opportunity. Fuck John Roberts.
