• Judge reserves ruling on whether alleged Jan. 6 pipe bomber should remain detained pending trial (wbch.com) — Federal agents and Prince William County police recently sealed off a Woodbridge street while arresting a local man accused of planting pipe bombs near national party headquarters before Jan. 6, 2021. A New York judge is weighing whether he’ll stay jailed before trial, citing concerns over alleged long-term planning, explosive experiments, and repeated deletion of phone data. 
• The Stories You Read Most: Potomac Local's Top 5 Articles of 2025 (potomaclocal.com) — Woodbridge readers were among the most engaged with Potomac Local in 2025, especially following plans for the Quartz District and its new traffic interchange. This year-end roundup revisits that project along with four other widely read stories, from a proposed Buc-ee’s in Stafford to Virginia’s new DMV-approved Mobile ID, while also inviting residents to support continued local coverage.
• Brian Cole: DOJ Memo Explains Pipe Bombs Placed At RNC, DNC (themorninghustle.com) — Federal prosecutors say a man arrested at his home in Woodbridge has allegedly admitted to placing pipe bombs near the RNC and DNC before the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
