#SeditionHunters - a big arrest today! #BulgePB, who hung with the Proud Boys elite on Jan 6, is Nathaniel Tuck, a former cop from Florida, IDd by the great @ne0ndistraction. He's at R here, escorting #FashProShop to the E. side of the Capitol to meet up with Joe Biggs. 1/
#BulgePB was arrested along with his dad, also a Florida police officer, or was one til he resigned today. Weirdly for a cop, apparently texted his family “We stormed the Capitol, fought the police.” See ne0n's thread for more.. 2/

Interestingly the wives of both #BulgePB and #FashProShop aka Arthur Jackman are ALSO police officers in Florida. Sarah Jackman just cleared for duty, says she thought Proud Boys were a nice group where "men spend time together & attend Bible studies.” 3/

This triumphal video shot after leaving the Capitol shows #BulgePB's 'fash-y' haircut and two-armed salute - he's not so nice after all. 5 of this Elite 8 are now arrested, all but Ethan Nordean (#Rufio) from Central Florida; likely the others are too. 4/
Arrested Proud Boys Joe Biggs (#JoeBiggs), Arthur Jackman (#FashProShop), Paul Rae (#1776HatPB), & Nathaniel Tuck (#BulgePB) all live in the same part of Central Florida, in adjacent Volusia, Seminole, and Orange Counties. A logical place to look for more Jan 6 suspects! 5/
In general not a good day for FL law enforcement! Feds also indicted 16 members of a FL white supremacist gang who used “corrupt law enforcement officers and state employees” to try to dodge charges for murder, kidnapping..1 Capitol attacker among them. 6/

And an update from the fabulous @OSINTyeti - it's not five but SIX of the "Elite 8" Proud Boys group that are now arrested.... because #HorizontalBlackPB is Kevin Tuck, Nathaniel Tuck's dad. Arrested marked in red here. 7/
Since today is a FL geography lesson, let's compare the arrestees from the Proud Boys "Elite 8" to the violent #MachineGunKitty crew arrested last week, who are from Polk County... What's going on in Central Florida? 8/
Kevin Tuck aka #HorizontalBlackPB also shows the ugly mixing of insurrection & religion; he's been a pastor for 15 years at the Lighthouse Church. Their FB: "Children are always looking for a word.. sons become the word." On Jan 6 he helped his son breach the U.S. Capitol. 9/
Bare-bones indictment of Nathaniel and Kevin Tuck (#BulgePB & #HorizontalBlackPB) is now unsealed (ty @alanfeuer)! Combines them with Jackman (#FashProShop), Rae (#1776HatPB), & one new name: "Edward George Jr." Who is he? Could be #AliGPB... 10/

In 20 seconds of searching, can't help but notice that there's an Eddie George Jr. who is a heavily researched Proud Boy from Florida with selfies with Roger Stone and supposed connections to Turning Point U.S.A. ...11/
firestormonfash.noblogs.org/post/2020/07/0…
To remind people: #AliGPB, the potential match to Eddie George Jr., rushes up to give #BulgePB a hug during their triumphant march from W to E sides of the Capitol. That was just as the Capitol was breached & they knew the attack would succeed. 12/
Eddie George Jr. apparently arrested this AM in North Carolina! Still unclear if he's the same as the Florida PB. May be connected to what Vox calls "the most bizarre conspiracy theory you’ve never heard of", 'Frazzledrip'. Thread from @jordangreennc. 13/

Stephen Miller confirms what anyone who studies Jan 6 knows: Trump's government wants to control education and impose a national 'patriotic' curriculum. It was OBVIOUS this was coming: Trump promised this in 2020 in exchange for support for his coup. But pundits ignored it. 1/
This account first called it in 2022. THE DAY BEFORE THE ELECTION Trump set up a commission on patriotic education. The people who led it - from Hillsdale & Claremont - then wrote his election-fraud lawsuits, arranged fake electors. They met on Jan 5. 2/
Education was Trump's barter with the religious right: public funds for private religious schools and a national 'patriotic' curriculum. It could have been stopped: Michigan should have indicted Larry Arnn, Hillsdale president, 176 Commission leader. 3/

Our new Navy Director of Communications watched the action at the Capitol on Jan 6 for Breitbart News. Her worst post might be this one: she flippantly captioned a video of people attacking the North Doors: "Things got a lil sporty here". To her it was a joke. Video tk. 1/ Image
Here's Wong's video of the attack on the North Doors. She can claim she was just a reporter, but her caption shows that she thinks an attack on our Capitol and officers is funny. @SECNAV: is this the message you want to send to the troops, who swear to uphold the Constitution? 2/
Actual reporters, not Breitbart hacks, should ask @SecNav John Phelan: why was Kristina Wong picked? Is this the right message to send the US Navy? That attacking our own Capitol to prevent the peaceful transfer of power is just "a lil sporty"? 3/

It's clear by now: we WILL lose US democracy without a civil society pushback. Today the universities finally rose up, bluntly denouncing "undue government intrusion". The coalition is is now top-heavy with establishment heavyweights. Summary follows. 1/
theguardian.com/us-news/2025/a…
Who signed? Let's start with the Ivies. Status-worship is gross, but it matters that they're nearly all leading now:

* Ivy: Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Cornell, Penn, Brown
NOT Columbia, Dartmouth
* Ivy-plus: MIT, Duke
NOT Stanford, Univ. of Chicago
2/
continuing... universities with big research arms:

* Other elite tech:
NOT Caltech, Rice, Georgia Tech
* Big state R1s: Rutgers, U WA, U MD, U WI Madison, U HI, UC Riverside, Stony Brook
NOT U MI, UIUC, other UCs, UT, etc.

When Trump's goons threatened Harvard it was clear what would happen: first PR, then lawyers. Harvard has now filed suit, solo against 8 government agencies. Two main points: 1) government did not follow procedure, 2) government cannot dictate speech. 1/
harvard.edu/research-fundi…Image
As you'd expect, Harvard has also put out a smooth letter explaining their lawsuit. It starts by outlining the 5 attacks Trump has made on Harvard. Then pivots to defending research. Then thoughts on antisemitism - giving Trump an offramp he could take. 2/
harvard.edu/president/news…Image
More careful work: Harvard has kept the 2 ultra-Trumpy lawyers originally hired to negotiate, but added 14 more from 2 specialty law firms: Ropes & Gray, experts in life sciences & pharma research, and Lehotsky Keller Cohn, experts in federal regulations. Choose your fighter. 3/ Image

The public needs to learn how Kristi Noem, a cabinet official with Secret Service protection, got her purse snatched with DHS badge, passport, maybe phone: now a security risk. If she'd asked the SS to stand down for privacy, we need to know who was she having dinner with. 1/ Image
Either #1: Noem had an intimate restaurant dinner (on Easter?) she felt was so important she put US security at risk. Or, #2: Noem didn't ask the Secret Service to back off, and our elite agency let a purse-snatcher get within arm's length of a cabinet secretary. Or.. 2/
Or, #3: everyone is lying and something else happened that resulted in Noem losing her badge and passport. We cannot know without more reporting. Reporters should not let this story get lost in the deluge of scandal. It needs follow-up. 3/

The Trump admin now CLAIMS to have made a mistake. Not "acknowledges". Trump's clowns sent a letter signed by 3 government officials, got the predictable response (mighty Harvard swung into battle), tried to amplify and flopped, and so now are whining it's all Harvard's fault. 1/ Image
The NYT article is pretty good. It repeats admin claims, but makes it clear that they're in chaos. They know they messed up and are scrambling. Predictably, Harvard had been negotiating, before that letter - but it sent them into battle. Unpaywalled link: archive.is/YsHpJImage
The timeline: as soon as Harvard rolled out their resistance PR on Monday, the Trump admin knew they blew it. Immediately tried to walk it back. Harvard says no. On Wednesday, they escalated the threats. Still no. Now they're down to complaining it's all Harvard's fault. 3/ Image
