NEW: A 49-year old Coastguard lieutenant is in custody and faces charges that he planned “to murder innocent civilians on a scale rarely seen in this country,” according to court documents.
Federal prosecutors called him a "domestic terrorist bent on committing acts dangerous to human life."

The self-described white nationalist was arrested on Feb. 15 on charges of illegal possession of a firearm, ammunition as well as possession of a controlled-substance.
When federal agents raided his Maryland apartment, they found more than a dozen firearms and a spreadsheet that reportedly is a hit list targeting Congressional Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

The list reportedly also included several CNN and MSNBC hosts.

An FBI unit found "no single or clear motivating factor" behind the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas that killed 58 people and injured about 900 others. n.pr/2TkvYaP
The report by the bureau's Behavioral Analysis Unit says investigators believe part of the motivation was to "attain a certain degree of infamy via a mass casualty attack."
Las Vegas police officials concluded their investigation last year and also were unable to establish a motive. n.pr/2ME7lmW

JUST IN: The Department of Homeland Security has announced that migrants seeking asylum will no longer be allowed to wait in the U.S. while their claims are pending in immigration court. The migrants will be processed by DHS and given a notice to appear in court.
According to DHS, the Mexican government will provide humanitarian visas, work authorization and other protections to the migrants while they wait in Mexico for the outcome of their asylum cases.
Currently, people claiming asylum are allowed to stay in the U.S. — sometimes in detention — while their claim is pending in immigration court. A new DHS policy will send such migrants to Mexico for the duration of that process.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi agreed to a deal that would likely give her the votes to become the next speaker of the House but only for a maximum of four years.
The agreement negotiated between Pelosi and a small group of House Democrats who vowed to oppose her during the floor vote needs to be approved by the full House Democratic Caucus, which is expected to vote early next year.
The deal limits terms for the top three leaders to three terms, including any they served when the Democrats had the House majority between 2007 and early 2011.

1. @CoreyRobin is a political scientist and author of The Reactionary Mind, a book that has shaped my thinking about conservative ideology in ways I’m probably not even aware of. It is now a classic. Professor Robin is also someone I knocked heads with in 2016.
2. We’re leftists of different stripes (though he might refuse to recognize my leftism). He opposed Hillary Clinton for good lefty reasons. As a pragmatist, I told him, not unrudely, to take his good lefty reasons and jump in a lake. That, however, was then.
3. Robin’s latest, brilliant and controversial essay in New York touches on something I have touched on at the Editorial Board. Here's Professor Robin's essay. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

“Court documents do not detail what prompted federal law enforcement to begin investigating Hasson”

“The defendant intends to murder innocent civilians on a scale rarely seen in this country.”

He worked at the Coast Guard’s HQ in DC for 2 years. HOW WAS HE JUST ARRESTED? #Qanon

FWIW this is WHY @realDonaldTrump words matter.
They have PROFOUND consequences
washingtonpost.com/local/public-s…
The first sentence in the Government’s Detention Motion is chilling:
“The defendant intends to murder innocent civilians on a scale rarely seen in this country. He must be detained pending trial”
Thereafter it rest reads like a Domestic Terrorist manifesto
assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5745…
“...Law enforcement agents executed a federal search warrant at the defendant’s residence, agents found the following fifteen firearms conservatively, over 1,000 rounds of mixed ammunition..”
BEJESUS inspired by the Breivik Manifesto...this is radicalizing of a Domestic Terrorist https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5745084/Hasson-Detention-Memo.pdfhttps://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5745084/Hasson-Detention-Memo.pdfhttps://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5745084/Hasson-Detention-Memo.pdfhttps://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5745084/Hasson-Detention-Memo.pdf
