@capitolhunters @CoryCullington @CarsoJ6 That's what I was going to point out. That crush by the mob and the attacks on officers on the edges of the group, were brutal!

@CoryCullington Agreed - what Jennie is watching is a line of MPD officers being attacked by the crowd ~2:00-2:02 PM as they tried to reach the W. Plaza to assist other officers being there. @carsoJ6 was filming violence against police officers doing their job to protect the US people's Capitol.

The First Amendment isn't a license to trespass on restricted Capitol grounds. And judging from the location Jennie is at in those photos—watching officers being attacked by rioters as they try to make their way to the West Plaza—she really should have known that she shouldn't be there. Of course that didn't seem to stop her from continuing closer to the building, or from entering the Capitol at 2:20pm— just 7 minutes after the doors had been opened by rioters from the inside.

@8lissFullyAware @RealTamie As someone from Mpls, those riots were also terrible! Differences: The rioters were not praised by the president as patriots, not pardoned, and not paid millions of $.

Strangely peculiar you are posting about an event where 2 protesters were murdered, but don’t have one single post denouncing over $2B in property damage, 30 murders, and thousands of police officers injured. It’s quite telling when your idea of the “worst thing ever” is some antifa plant breaking a window but not a single word about cities burning down for days. You people are really bad at not looking like the absolute partisan hypocrites you are.

I find it interesting that Trump supporters have never seen these videos. They claim there is no footage of that day. 😳 I watched it in real time on TV when it was happening, just like Trump. 1. FYI, the footage is all over the internet. 2. You can CLEARLY see them breaking windows. The law says that’s breaking and entering. 3. I’ve been to the Capitol, you have to go through security to enter. You don’t enter through broken windows. That’s just a fact.

@8lissFullyAware @midnightG52 @RealTamie @grok Legally, it resulted in at least 1 officer death. Officer Jeffrey Smith suffered a traumatic brain injury at the capitol & committed suicide the day he was due to return to duty. His death was officially deemed "in the line of duty" bc he had not been suicidal prior to J6.

@midnightG52 @RealTamie No officer was killed on Jan 6th @grok please correct this person and remind them all officers that passed away in the following days were deemed due to "NATURAL CAUSES". Thanks!

@JaelCorbleu @RealTamie The FBI recruits sources in many radical groups to keep tabs on potential violence or lawbreaking. That they were with their groups at J6 doesn't mean those 26 sources were the cause of thousands of people rioting.

@RealTamie Have you not watched a single thing since you watched this in real time? 26 admitted FBI Confidential Human Sources were at the Capitol that day. It's been in the news on the last 2 weeks.

@glukianoff I hope he's first in line to apply for that travesty of a slush fund for victims of a weaponized DOJ. Not that he has a hope or prayer of getting anything, but he's certainly deserving.

Larry Bushart spent 37 days in jail for posting a meme on Facebook. I’ve been doing this work for 25 years, and I can honestly say this is the worst First Amendment case I’ve ever seen. Not because Larry threatened anyone. He didn’t. Not because he committed violence. He didn’t. Not because this was a close call. It wasn’t. He posted a political meme — the kind of thing millions of Americans do every day — and local officials decided to treat it like a crime. And because they had badges, prosecutors, jail cells, and the terrifying machinery of the state behind them, they got away with it for 37 days. Larry is a retired police officer and National Guard veteran. The meme he shared quoted Donald Trump’s “we have to get over it” comment after a 2024 Iowa school shooting. Whatever you think of Trump, the meme was plainly political commentary. Perry County officials knew what it referred to. They knew it wasn’t a threat against a Tennessee school. They arrested him anyway. In the middle of the night. They set his bond at $2 million. He lost his job. He missed family milestones. He sat in jail for more than a month before the charges finally collapsed — because, of course, there was no crime here. Today, @theFIREorg secured a measure of justice: Perry County agreed to pay Larry Bushart $835,000 for violating his constitutional rights. This case should scare the hell out of people across the political spectrum. Because if the government can jail you for a meme by pretending not to understand obvious political commentary, your rights are only as secure as the good faith of the most authoritarian official in your town. That is exactly why we have the First Amendment. Not for speech everyone likes. Not for opinions that flatter the powerful. Not for the bland, safe, committee-approved stuff. It exists for moments when fear, outrage, politics, and authority all line up and say: “Surely this is the exception.” No. It isn’t. I’m incredibly proud of @theFIREorg’s legal team. And I’m even prouder of Larry Bushart for refusing to let the government get away with treating his constitutional rights like a suggestion. But despite the correct verdict, I'll probably always get angry every time I think of this case. Let’s make this the last time anyone in America is arrested — let alone thrown in jail — for a meme. Celebrate your independence. Defend your First Amendment. fire.org/news/victory-t…

@Acyn That doesn't sound like a "no" to me!

CNN: Would you be okay with people who were convicted of hurting police, getting taxpayer money? Blanche: Just to be clear, people that hurt police get money all the time.

@mitchjackson I've been wondering what the Todd Blanche is going to do when the other 405,426 people come asking for their multi-billion dollar payouts...

Fun fact for the $10 billion lawsuit crowd. The IRS leak that exposed Donald Trump’s tax returns happened between August 2019 and November 2020. 405,427 other taxpayer returns were also leaked. Trump was president. His own pick, Charles Rettig, ran the IRS. The contractor who did it, Charles Littlejohn, worked on a Trump-era IRS contract and is now serving five years in federal prison. On January 29, 2026, Trump sued the IRS and Treasury for $10 billion over a breach that happened on his watch, under his commissioner, by a contractor his administration paid. He is suing the federal government he ran, for failing to stop a leak that occurred while he was running it. The taxpayer foots the bill either way.

@DavidWolfe Fear? Yes! It is smart to be fearful of diseases that, before vaccines were available, killed about 1 of every 5 children (20%) before their 5th birthdays - and that still kill 1.5 million children EVERY YEAR in places too poor to have access to vaccines.

People vaccinate out of FEAR. People refuse to vaccinate out of KNOWLEDGE.

@stephen_richer @CatoInstitute Thank you for presenting evidence on this. The responses to your post are disheartening - it appears many are impervious to the facts, but I appreciate people like you who present the data for those who are genuinely seeking the truth.

The Auditor General of Pennsylvania recently audited 210,905 voter registration forms. He found 1 non-citizen in that batch. That non-citizen never voted. And was later removed from the voter rolls. More in my blog post @CatoInstitute: cato.org/blog/another-d…

@atrupar Apparently he's talking about someone who was just MOSTLY dead... "There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead means slightly alive, while all dead means looking for loose change." - Miracle Max, Princess Bride

Trump: "We've taken people that were dead. We had a person given the last rites -- gone, the kids are crying and everything -- and started them on this drug. And the person became better. It works."

@JoyceWhiteVance Maybe... if the person is just MOSTLY dead. "There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead means slightly alive, while all dead means looking for loose change." - Miracle Max, Princess Bride

Y’all.

@jpirrone28 @JonahDispatch ...and not even making a seashell message - just taking a photo of some random person's seashell message he found intriguing while on walking on the beach.

@JonahDispatch And they're arresting Comey for seashells My God, is this the USA?

Remember when JD Vance preened at the Munich Security Conference about the Trump administration’s passion for free speech: “So I come here today not just with an observation, but with an offer. And just as the Biden administration seemed desperate to silence people for speaking their minds, so the Trump administration will do precisely the opposite, and I hope that we can work together on that. In Washington, there is a new sheriff in town. And under Donald Trump’s leadership, we may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer them in the public square.”

@JonahDispatch Aw, sweet Pippa! My hard of hearing dog hears sharp claps so thats her recall now. Apparently thats common since I've seen otjers do the same with their elderly semi deaf dogs.

“Good morning. Its Wednesday. I made a mistake. We were heading back to the car after an excellent walk when Zoe distracted me for moment. It was important dog work but that’s not important right now. But what happened next is I thought thumb guy was still behind me instead of at the car. So I turned around to go find him. I asked several people if they were my human or ran up to them to check if they were. They weren’t! My hearing isn’t great these days so I couldn’t hear thumb guy calling my name. (My heart and waggle make a lot of noise inside my head.) Thumb guy came and found me and I was so excited to see him! We ran back to the car! Zoë was sitting behind the steering wheel waiting for the silliness to end. Also, I love you.”

@EWErickson I been an evangelical Christian for my entire remembered life, but I have never heard a believer express an earnest desire for someone's salvation (which indeed means being crucified with Christ and raised to eternal life), by saying: "I pray God kills him."

The fact that James Talarico doesn't even understand basic Christianity about being born again and dying to self suggests he is not the Christian he claims to be.

@jksequoia @drterrysimpson There are many, many other differences (e.g. diet, activity levels) that are more likely explanations of the weight discrepancy than their honor-shame culture.

@drterrysimpson Ask the Japanese, it functions very well. Not in a society were 80% are overweight.-

The idea that shame improves obesity outcomes isn’t supported by the literature. Weight stigma is associated with higher cortisol and oxidative stress (PMID: 25401288), more binge eating (PMID: 2866597), and disordered eating via internalized stigma (PMID: 30019257). Shame may feel satisfying to the observer. It’s not evidence-based medicine. WHen you quote an article that is not about obesity to state this works for obesity - well, lesson here - learn science

@megbasham @JohnPiper The overwhelming majority who come illegally do so not to live off the system (which would quickly put them on the radar of authorities & risk deportation), but to work hard at thankless, low-paying jobs that no citizen will undertake.

Not every stranger who comes to your country is a Sojourner. Some respect our system of laws and come to be a blessing to their host nation. To work hard and raise strong families. But some come illegally. And they do not come to work hard. Some come to live off the system, and to exploit the generosity of their host nation. Others come to engage in destructive practices that harm the citizens of the host nation. Biblical wisdom requires us to discern the difference.

“You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.” Leviticus 19:34 Christians know the miserable bondage we were all in.

@megbasham @jdpeterson1689 @JohnPiper I don't know if you are lying intentionally or are misled, but ICE has detained literally thousands of people who came legally as refugees or asylum seekers but are still in the broken immigration system waiting for permanent status. THAT disrespect for our laws is destructive!!

@jdpeterson1689 @JohnPiper Ice is arresting any who came illegally. And that disrespect for our laws is destructive, yes.

@DrNeilStone ...as anyone who does geneaological research can confirm!

Before vaccines, 1 in 5 babies didn't survive to their first birthday

@DrNeilStone No one who has done serious genealogical research would believe this. Pre-vaccine most families lost at least 1-2 kids to diseases we never see now bc we are vaccinated for them. My great-grandma lost 3 kids before age 5.

Not a single word of this is true

@WalshFreedom Thanks for clarifying that. Logic said that claim was ridiculous, but I hadn't had time to research what they were actually talking about.

It’s a lie. It’s propaganda. We asked PAXIS.app to sum it up: ICE did not “find 3,364 missing children” in Minnesota. They updated contact information. That’s it. These kids were never missing. They were already in the system with pending immigration cases. ICE reconfirmed addresses and phone numbers — bureaucratic housekeeping dressed up as a rescue mission. And why the sudden “heroic” sweep? To serve paperwork. To lock in court dates. To start removal proceedings. Not rescue. Not protection. Deportation prep. This wasn’t saving children. It was enforcement spin packaged as salvation. Updating records isn’t a miracle. Call it what it is: A LIE. Stand up to ICE: gofundme.com/f/PAXIS
