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).

Musk has been told—repeatedly—that this is a lie. The global population is rising and will continue to rise until 2100, then it’ll decline slightly. Many countries, JUST NOT MAJORITY WHITE ONES, have over-replacement birth rates. Musk focuses on a small number of white nations.
So no, there are NO experts in this field who agree humanity is dying. There are NO experts who have a longterm underpopulation concern. There are NO experts who agree with Musk. The ONLY people concerned are white supremacists who worry white nations may become SLIGHTLY smaller.
But his lie is worse than this. He KNOWS and has been TOLD that rich, developed, often—but certainly not exclusively—majority-white nations see a birth rate decline BECAUSE of their wealth. That’s normal. It does not mean those nations will collapse, just reduce slightly in size.
1. Elon Musk has many biographers; none are “official.” 2. I’m a Musk biographer; I don’t use Musk as a source because he’s a known pathological liar. 3. My second Musk biography (first is below) arrives in 2026.
4. Grok is aware I’m a Musk biographer, as is the world (see my bio excerpt below, from my website). But Grok, by Musk’s design, sometimes struggles to access Substack—which confuses it about my status. 5. I’m a multiple-time NYT-bestselling biographer of public figures.

6. Elongelicals have a favorite Musk biographer—Isaacson—as Walt tells them what they want to hear. He just repeats what Elon says and is himself a fanboy. My methodology is different: I’m a curatorial journalist. 7. You want fan-fiction? Go with Walt. For the truth, me.
ICE used to be a legal operation. Now—without it ever confirming for a judge it has the right person and has a reasonable basis to take irrevocable government action—this is a kidnapping.
If you see something like this, report it to the police.
What the police can do is contact ICE to confirm it conducted an operation that resulted in the seizure of a specific person.
If ICE refuses to confirm the seizure of that person at that time, the police have a Kidnapping on their hands.
They'll be required to act accordingly.
If ICE confirms the seizure of that person at that time, the police can ask when the court hearing for the seized person is so friends and/or family reporting a Kidnapping will be able to attend and speak on the seized person's behalf. If ICE refuses to provide the information...
More than any two men in America, Trump and Musk target for vicious retribution anyone who crosses them.
And more than any two men in America, Trump and Musk complain about media using anonymous sources to report on them.
Just take a moment and sit with those two statements.
The question here is why Trump and Musk have such a penchant for *creating* the phenomena they'll later loudly claim to be victims of.
One answer is that they're both malignant narcissistic sociopaths who can't process empathy and therefore can't put themselves in others' shoes.
But the other answer I have found, as a biographer of both men, is that they desperately need public attention to be on them at all times. They need a piece of all our lives in a way that is actually *clinical*—narcissists literally don't know how to process being widely ignored.
They’re destroying our government—and with it, America.
They’re coming for your Social Security. Your student loans. Your voting systems. Your personal data. Your Medicare. Your freedoms.
They want EVERYTHING. And they are coming for EVERYTHING.
From The Washington Post:
Never forget what these people did. They stormed OUR Capitol. They threatened OUR government. They tried to overthrow OUR democracy. They tried to block the presidency WE voted for in 2020.
And when 1,600+ of these lunatic criminals were finally rounded up, they PARDONED them.
Don’t let them rewrite history. THEY attacked our democracy with violence. THEY declared that they’d rather have Vladimir Putin as president than Joe Biden. THEY declared American democracy an outmoded form of government. THEY let billionaires buy our government.
