The Alabama duo—Mo Brooks and Tommy Tuberville—is one I suspect the FBI will want to investigate. At all stages of the insurrection it seems Trump was working with two Alabama Republicans to ensure the insurrection and the opposition to Biden's certification worked hand-in-glove.
(PS) Mo Brooks was the first Republican to say he'd challenge Biden's certification; was at Trump's rally talking about "kicking ass"; was allegedly conspiring with Akbar. His Alabama GOP delegation peer, Tuberville, was Trump's Senate man, contacted by Giuliani mid-insurrection.
(PS2) A lot of people will be asking about conversations that may have occurred between/amongst Trump, Giuliani, Brooks, Biggs, Gosar, Tuberville, and Akbar as to how the insurrection would be timed and how it would dovetail with Brooks'/Tuberville's actions inside the Capitol.
(PS3) We now know both Trump and Giuliani contacted Tuberville as the insurrection was happening to get him to artificially elongate his objections to Biden's win. These exhortations would've had the effect—and appear to have been intended to—give the insurrectionists more time.
(PS4) I say "appear to have been intended to" because we now have numerous major-media reports establishing that Trump was "excited," "pleased," and "enthusiastic" as the insurrection unfolded. This was the same period of time he tried to *elongate* GOP objections to Biden's win.
(PS5) It was also during this period that Trump was rebuffing attempts to call up the Guard. So we know what Trump, his lawyer, and their allies at the Capitol were doing as the insurrection was unfolding—and we know what they weren't doing—and there seems to be a clear pattern.
(PS6) What I'm saying is that we're in the first few days of a federal investigation that may take a year or more, but one early theory of the case is that Trump didn't just incite insurrection—he and his team helped plan it many days in advance, and coordinate it as it unfolded.
(PS7) There's been such focus on Trump's January 6 words that I think there's been a lack of investigative attention to his actions on that date and before. When the Stop the Steal rally was set for January 6 on December 19, Trump knew of it and tweeted about it instantaneously.
(PS8) Why did Trump say the rally would be "wild"? How did he know before his January 6 speech that there was going to be a march on the Capitol, such that he could detail that plan of action in mid-speech? Why were he/Giuliani directing agents at the Capitol in mid-insurrection?
(PS9) Giuliani implies that him using the phrase "trial by combat" was coincidence. Brooks implies the phrase "kicking ass" was coincidence. Trump implies that him directing his people to march on the Capitol was coincidence.

Investigators will see this as too many coincidences.
(PS10) For those who missed it (it was in another thread) here's the organizer of the Stop the Steal rally saying that the march on the Capitol was a scheme coordinated with Trump allies Biggs, Gosar and Brooks—the last of whom was with Trump at the rally.
(PHOTO) For what it's worth, here's a picture of Trump with Ali Alexander (called "Akbar" earlier in this thread because he previously went by the name "Ali Akbar," but it appears he now uses "Alexander," so I will use that going forward). Image

What would Trump do if this song went viral today?
WARNING: This song goes hard and makes no apologies.
LYRICS:

Gather round and I'll tell you of two Florida men
Who for twenty or so years were the best of friends
One of them ended up mysteriously dead
While the other one sleeps in a White House bed

I have no difficulty saying that Trump and Musk caused some of the 50+ flood deaths in Texas.

And here's why: these two men with no expertise in disaster preparedness were told not to cut the positions they cut, and were told people would die if they did.

And then people died. Image
Moreover, Democrats are never going to start winning elections again until they're willing to call a thing just what it is.

Texas Democrats should be clear and persistent in saying that public service cuts overseen by non-experts desperate for billionaire tax cuts killed people.
And if Republicans respond by saying that Democrats are politicizing these deaths, the Democrats should respond: THAT'S BECAUSE THE DEATHS ARE POLITICAL. POLITICIANS CAUSED THEM.

(📢) NEW at PROOF: A Feud of the Century update from a bestselling biographer of both the Richest Man on Earth and the Most Powerful Man on Earth.

“Trump Is Coming for Musk. Here Are 20 Reasons Musk Has the Upper Hand, Even If He Doesn’t Realize It” (🔗): sethabramson.substack.com/p/trump-is-sti…Image
1/ If I had to rank by how annoying they are the false narratives I hear folks who don't study these men professionally advancing, the claim that the Feud is fake would easily rank #1.

There's *no evidence whatsoever* substantiating the claim that any part of the Feud is fake.
2/ #2 would be the claim that Trump isn't the most powerful man alive. I've spent more time and words arguing that Trump is beholden to foreign business associates than anyone anywhere—and even I understand that when you control Earth’s most powerful military, it means something.

(🚨) EXCLUSIVE: This report is epic, crossing years, continents, and scandals some readers won’t have encountered before—from golf to crypto, intel to international law. Everything comes back to why the Iran War happened, and why it’ll likely restart.

🔗: sethabramson.substack.com/p/exclusive-ex…Image
1/ I’ve been thinking about what else I want to say on this subject since I first posted this report a few hours ago. The report is of course extremely long, detailed, and well-sourced, so there’s much that I could write that would simply be redundant.
2/ I do have thoughts I want to expand on, though.

Stunning how media turned passage of the Abominable Bill into a will they/won't they romcom with a July 4 deadline for Cinderella to kiss the prince, rather than a situation in which members of Congress say they're terrified they or their family will be killed if they cross Trump
The only journalistically responsible way to cover what's happening in DC is to report that the Dear Leader of a cult set an arbitrary deadline for his cult to dance for him on penalty of sinister punishments, and now we're watching a gruesome public whipping unfold in real time
The grotesque mummery playing out at the Capitol is not just joyless and borderline violent but without any suspense whatsoever, as in an authoritarian regime—which is what the GOP is—the outcome isn't in doubt, only whether 1-2 rebels choose to sacrifice themselves to the flames

(🚨) WAIT... WHAT??

Agents of Trump business and political partners MBS, MBZ and el-Sisi were secretly in the White House as Trump agreed to go to war with their enemy Iran?

How is this not the big news right now? How is this not bigger than every other story media is covering? Image
This is beyond journalistic malpractice.

We're talking about matters of war and peace—historic lies told by a POTUS to push America to war—and CNN is burying the lede that the attack was a byproduct of secret negotiations with those who support Trump financially and politically?
And should it not also be noted that the man representing Trump in these hours of secret negotiations inside the White House—assuming Trump wasn't there himself, which I suspect he was for part of the time—is a man (Witkoff) with financial ties to parties he was negotiating with?
