The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Federal prosecutors charged Jessica Bowie, 35, of Albany, New York, with attempting to provide material support to ISIS after FBI agents arrested her Wednesday in an alleged plot to bomb the New York State Capitol. A criminal complaint says Bowie pledged allegiance to ISIS, sought help from a confidential source to make explosives, and discussed killing state senators while the Legislature was meeting. Authorities say she bought what she believed was an explosive device and planned to conceal it in a DoorDash bag inside the Capitol. She appeared in federal court Thursday and faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
