An unidentified "senior law enforcement official" tells the New York Times that, while the FBI had been aware of Garland, Texas jihadist attacker Elton Simpson for nearly a decade, they did not follow his violent, pro-jihad tweets as closely as they could have because "there are so many like him" that the agency is overwhelmed.

President Barack Obama addressed the unrest in Baltimore that occurred
in the aftermath of the death of Freddie Gray, the African American
male who died April 19 from a fatal injury to his spine while he was in
police custody.
The president spoke at Lehman College in New York City on Monday to
promote the “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative, a mentoring program for
boys and young men of color. During the speech, Obama lamented what he
described as the “tragic history in this country that has made it
tougher for some.”
Obama pointed to the “sense of unfairness and powerless of people not
hearing their voices, that’s helped fueled some of the protest we’ve
seen in places like Baltimore, and Ferguson and right here in New
York.”[…]
Obama highlighted the importance of the task force on community
policing, formed by the White House in the wake of 2014 protests
against the police-involved deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo.
and Eric Garner in New York.
“I’m interested in responsibility and I’m interested in results.”
The president started the My Brother’s Keeper intiative in February
2014.
On Monday, he announced the creation of My Brother’s Keeper Alliance, a
non-profit organization that will carry out the mission of the original
White House effort.

The Pentagon has no plans to stage a military takeover of the Lone Star state. There are no tunnels covertly being constructed under West Texas' shuttered Wal-Mart stores.
So why are the fringes of the Internet still abuzz with rumors that the U.S. military is on the cusp of imposing martial law in "hostile" Texas under the guise of a training exercise dubbed "Jade Helm 15"?
Representatives of the military and Utah Gov. Gary Herbert (R), whose state is expected to host part of the planned training exercise, have sought to tamp down speculation that "Jade Helm 15" is anything other than a standard training exercise.
But a slew of other influential figures in conservative circles have either deliberately or inadvertently given credence to those who buy into the wild conspiracy theories surrounding the upcoming exercise.
Here's a look at who's been stoking the fire:
