One alert shared by a Park Police commander with police lieutenants and National Park Service officials said the growing crowd near the White House was seen, “Wearing ballistic helmets, body armor and carrying radio equipment and military grade backpacks.
That's how I gear up when I go to take tours while sight seeing.
But don't gear up with a belt, or at least a usable belt. I figure that the current Army Combat Uniform and the BDUs and such from the days gone by required a belt that actually worked.

I think it shows how skilled the Gop are at messaging. He sent Chickafila, knowing that some idiots would start screaming that he sent homophobic chicken, and then they could start telling their base that all the left cares about is teh Gays and not the police officers, letting the fact that it was an insulting empty gesture get buried in the noise.

Sounds to me like the guy who forgot his wife's birthday so he's trying to distract her with flowers so he can move out of the doghouse.

I've always been curious about why the Sergeant at Arms was kicked to the curb so soon after January 6.

The FBI seized an iPhone this week from a Texas attorney who volunteered for Lawyers for Trump and served as general counsel for the far-right Oath Keepers organization, and a search warrant indicates the seizure is part of an investigation into “seditious conspiracy.”

Kellye SoRelle, who was on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, told HuffPost that the FBI took her phone and presented her with a search warrant. SoRelle is closely associated with Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the Oath Keepers, who has repeatedly come up in a broader Jan. 6 case.

In a message to HuffPost on Signal that SoRelle indicated she’d sent from her computer, she called it “frustrating” that the feds had seized her phone. She wrote that she had met with two law enforcement officials at her home. They went to a “Krogers/Starbucks” and they chatted for about four hours, she wrote.

“I have so much stuff in there,” she wrote, referring to her phone. “They either think i am the mastermind or they wanted a free dig through everything ― either way it is unethical.”

A copy of the search warrant cover sheet, signed by U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui on Aug. 30, states that the FBI seized SoRelle’s iPhone as part of an investigation into conspiracy, civil disorder, false statements, destruction of government property, obstruction of Congress, and unlawful entry on restricted buildings or grounds.

Eric "Zip Tie Guy" Munchel got kicked out of his first third party custodian's house, apparently for something he did after boozing it up. His brother is going to step in as 3rd Party.

I think Kellye SoRelle was also associated with the Gondor has no King failsuit in Texas until she had an explosive falling out with the lead "attorney." (Who had been fired from his law firm for (drumroll) attending the J6 insurrection.

Nit: IIRC it was his in-house counsel position for an insurance company. But thanks because I couldn't quite place where I'd seen her name.

One of the things that's underpinning a lot of the Landon Copeland detention hearing is that he lives in a batshit corner of Utah. (cc:

The pretrial officers don't want to go there, the FBI didn't want to arrest him there.

He wants to go back there.

NEW: When Robert Pape studied those arrested at the Capitol, he thought he'd find they were driven by economic anxiety.
Instead, he found they came from places where residents were worried about immigrants and minorities taking over from white people.
While I would not be entirely surprised with economic anxiety, Pape's findings are far more expected. The biggest thing Trump wound up was the anti-immigrant and white privilege. His signature #1 issue was anti-immigrant. It is no wonder the fiercest defenders are all about that.
