We're still tracking Russ Vought, Trump's "shadow president," at @propublica.org. Here's my latest on Vought and what he's done to the CFPB after courts stopped him from killing it. Think less watchdog, more golden retriever: www.propublica.org/article/bilt...

@repmoskowitz.bsky.social points out the irony of a GOP-run January 6 hearing where Republicans insist there was no insurrection, yet seated in the GOP's reserved front row seats, is Stewart Rhodes, the founder and former leader of the Oath Keepers.

The House is currently holding a hearing on the Jana 6 pipe bomb. One of the "expert witnesses" is former Army officer Thomas Speciale, who led a group of Oath Keepers onto Capitol grounds on Jan 6. Dems should use this chance to ask Speciale what his errand was. 1/

Super interesting coincidence that Speciale lives in the same community as Brian Cole, Jr. - Woodbridge, VA 🤔

Trump is saying he regrets not following the advice of his co-conspirators. From AC Thompson/Frontline's reporting, he was advised to use a special cyber unit of the National Guard - the 91st Cyber Brigade in Virginia is the only of its kind. Someone should ask Congressman, John McGuire about that 🤔

This investigation can only have integrity & garner public confidence if the state is a full partner. Not infrequently, the feds handle investigations into serious shooting incidents involving state/local cops for this reason.

This feels eerly similar to what DHS did in Portland and the gaslighting after George Floyd that gave the administration the opportunity to frame cities and individuals as lawless, sew more division and self righteousness, and run on a "law and order platform," despite declining crime rates...

As Trump tries to deploy the National Guard in LA, don't compare to Jan 6. Compare to May 2020 and his threat: "Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts.." Trump has dreamt of sending in the National Guard against the will of a state or mayor. 1/

I wholeheartedly believe the reason he did not want his inauguration to take place on the "traditional inauguration stage at the Capitol" is because it was the site of the worst violence against police officers by the MAGA followers he directed and incited to attack the Capitol on January 6th.

My point is that organizers knew they were not legally permitted to march to the Capitol - that's it. That is why the Kremers told everyone not to mention it even though they had advertised it in advance. They knew Trump was going to promote it in his speech...

Being a veteran gives Mastriano exponential credibility in the MAGA community. The "take matters into your own hands because the government is doing nothing" narrative creates chaos/lawlessness which is the desired outcome.

My guess is there are a lot more individuals who had a hand in January 6th working on or advising Trump's current transition team. Several individuals involved in the Fake Elector Scheme and breach of voting machines after the '20 election were members of Trump's 2016 Transition Team. #NoJustice

I would love to paint Mastriano as stupid as much as anyone, but I know too much about his military background to do it. We (not you 😉) need to recognize that misinformation has been weaponized against us and those who spread it are viewed as "loyal and worthy of payback," in the form of $$/support🧐
