📰 News we're reading

• DOJ seeks to re-jail January 6 rioter pardoned by Trump (knewz.com) — A man previously convicted on weapons and hoax threat charges was recently reported wandering near Rep. Jamie Raskin’s Takoma Park neighborhood around 2 a.m., alarming police and federal authorities. Prosecutors now want him re-jailed for allegedly violating supervised release, arguing his behavior echoes earlier conduct tied to the January 6 era and raising broader questions about mass pardons.
