Earlier:  With so much going on today, you may miss this breaking story.  Guy arrested from Mississippi.  Genius signed his initials.

"The arrest, two days after the letters were intercepted in mail-sorting facilities for the White House and the Capitol, was based on information collected 'very early on' about who had sent the letters, said one of the officials. The letters contained a postmark from Memphis but no return address, Senate officials said.

"Tupelo is the hometown of Senator Roger Wicker, the Republican senator to whom one of the letters was addressed. The letters were signed: 'I am KC, and I approve this message.'”
