Some key points as we head into J6 hearings. The Capitol attack was 1) coordinated, 2) meant to be fast, and 3) derailed by a rapid police response that produced key delays. Watch here as democracy is saved by DC bike cops: momentum shifts after the first terrifying minutes. 1/

@rothschildmd Let's all remember how embedded TPUSA was in Trump's attempted Jan 6 coup: Charlie Kirk processed the funds for the Jan 6 rallies, and his COO, Tyler Bowyer, was one of indicted Arizona fake electors (along with TPUSA-linked Jake Hoffman).

@CBSNews For reference, here is the Wikipedia article on other countries' bans on Nazi symbols. It lists three symbols often legally banned: the swastika, the double lightning bolt, and the Totenkopf. Exactly the design Platner had tatooed on his chest. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bans_on_N…

In response to controversy surrounding a tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol and comments he made previously on Reddit, Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner says "much of it was because of the culture I had come out of." "When I left the military, I came out of a hyper-masculine, hyper-violent place," he says. "I did four tours in the infantry. We have a crude sense of humor in the infantry. We certainly have a, I would say, narrow view of a lot of topics, and that colored my opinions and my beliefs."

@JMccly The timeline was actually made in response to Wolff's claim - to ask whether it could possibly be true. Wolff was very close to Epstein, and covered for him. Epstein himself was a liar. So nothing they say can be taken on faith without checks.

For those still behind: Melania's Epstein presser yesterday ("I was not a participant") was almost certainly driven by Amanda Ungaro, an Epstein victim who had a child with Paolo Zampolli, who brought Melania to the US. Zampolli just got Ungaro deported; she's vowing revenge. 1/

BREAKING: "I have never had any knowledge of Epstein abuse of his victims. I was never involved in any capacity. I was not a participant, was never on Epstein's plane and never visited his private island." -First Lady Melania Trump

@HeuRol6727 Best to delete the posts with that pic so as not to spread false things around.

@clary_co Slight correction: Trump advisor Sergio Gor (aka Sergio Gorokhovsky) was born in the Soviet Union, in Tashkent in 1986, but Tashkent is not within the current Russian border - it's in what is now Uzbekistan. occrp.org/en/news/exclus…

@clary_co Gor tried to hide that he was born in Russia. He's here with Dan Driscoll, who was made the US Secretary of the Army only because he's a Yale friend of JD Vance. And Vance was just stumping in Hungary for Russian asset Viktor Orban. Everything about this picture is uncomfortable.

@BillNWhite @RadioFreeTom @xtrixcyclex Swan/Haberman's article appeared to be sourced from Vance and his camp, which includes Driscoll. Don't treat it as independent journalism. Treat it as a move from one side of this conflict. Using the press is part of the joust.

@RadioFreeTom @xtrixcyclex After reading the excellent Swan/Haberman NYT article, and anticipating Trump’s eventually concluding the war was an epic failure, Hegseth appears perfectly teed up to join Noem & Bondi as the next fall guy.

@RadioFreeTom This may represent a bigger sectarian fight since Driscoll is aligned with JD Vance - he was one of Vance's friends at Yale and has no other reason for being picked as SecArmy. Hegseth v Driscoll looks like a proxy war for Trump v Vance.

@_rotimia That's possible but we also have to ask if social media was boosted with Gaza images in 2024, and isn't being boosted now, and students are responding with moral outrage proportional to what they are seeing in their feeds. The algorithm can drive what people do. Even good people.

It’s like when your parents get divorced and you have something at school, your dad doesn’t show up but you already know he’s terrible so it is what it is, but your mom is the real parent so when she doesn’t show up you’re more angry. Standards come from the relationship.

Obviously, students today are going to make a risk calculus based on their own material conditions. But SNCC students in the South basically felt their cause of racial equality was so important that jail, tear gas, beatings, felony charges were totally worth it.
Ryan Grim@ryangrim

The crackdown at universities included expulsions, criminal charges, the actual jailing of students for as little as an oped, new campus rules that made criticizing Israel a punishable offense, the banning even of megaphones at demonstrations…and then Neera “wonders” where the protests went. Such a mystery!

This circle is still tight. In Mar 2025, Trump made Zampolli "Special Envoy for Global Partnerships". One of Zampolli's causes was getting Russian athletes back into international sports. Another: helping JD Vance campaign for the pro-Russia Viktor Orban. A small, dirty world. 6/

The Guardian says Melania's Epstein presser was baffling. Even Fox asked "if there’s a story that’s ...about to drop that she wanted to get ahead of". What's baffling is why people thought deporting a mom away from her son wouldn't have consequences. 5/ theguardian.com/us-news/2026/a…

Ok so who's about to break the Melania/Epstein story she just tried to get ahead of?
