Mad. I blame #Trump & #RightWingMedia & the lack of #moderation online.

Man in #Pennsylvania charged w/ #FirstDegree #murder & abusing a corpse after he uploaded a video to #YouTube that appeared to show his father, a #federal employee, beheaded. In the graphic video, since removed, the man also went on a 14min tirade, espousing #RightWing #ConspiracyTheories, demanding that Pres #Biden resign & threatening to kill #FederalWorkers.

Bartorilla confirmed that Michael Mohn was an employee of the #FederalGovernment & said police would look into the graphic video as part of the case against the son. He said he was unable to confirm whether the #beheading was the cause of Michael Mohn’s death, declining to comment on the video further out of respect for his family.

"The radical and dangerous legal theories being advanced by Texas previously provoked a Civil War and have been broadly rejected for more than a century. So, one might expect Texas to get little support from other states. That is not the case."

As Judd Legum reports, the anti-Constitutional defiance of federal authority by Texas has the support of all GOP governors save one, and of the leader of the GOP, Trump.
