This person is an Oath Keeper and an insurrectionist leader—and connected to individuals who were in Trump's war rooms prior to January 6. She's a dangerous seditionist, and PROOF has written about her. She's one of the five most deranged state legislators in the United States.
So we shouldn't read her remarks and think of her as just a lunatic, white supremacist, or domestic extremist—though she's all these things. She wants to destroy America by transforming it from a democracy to a fascist state. She's a clear and present danger to national security.
To the extent Trump and his thugs are hoping for further seditious violence, all the evidence we have now suggests Wendy Rogers (and her Arizona co-conspirator Mark Finchem) will be working with Ali Alexander to plot what's next. If the FBI isn't watching her, Wray must be fired.
By the way, I wrote this thread on the basis of my research at PROOF and without knowing that Trump had just mentioned this seditious thug in Phoenix. I can't underscore how scary and dangerous it is that Trump is encouraging this sick person—she's a traitor to the United States.

(🔐) NEW: For just the second time, the Lost Classics of the 60s series has a subscriber-only entry. It took a lot of work, and is the series' strangest-ever entry. It's about novelty songs—but not like you think. I hope you'll subscribe, listen and share. sethabramson.substack.com/p/lost-classic…
1/ Included in this article is everything from a 20-minute story-joke-protest song to a song about a cartoon character, from heavy metal music with yodeling to an album about Middle Earth, from "wizard rock" to a song in a made-up language. And much more. Novelty music is so odd.
2/ What I try to do here is show how much more novelty music became in the Long 60s than just the sort of Justin Timberlake spoof—linked to here—we find in INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS. There was innovation in some such songs, a lot of "meta" content, and the birth of new genres of music.

Political analysts who didn't understand what Trump meant when he said, in Phoenix, that certain legislators in Arizona want to go "several steps beyond" what anyone would expect them to do are AWOL from their jobs.

There is a plot afoot to try to "decertify" Arizona's electors.
Can Arizona decertify its electors? No—of course not. But was Arizona Senate president Karen Fann lying when she said the audit was about 2024—not 2020? Yes. Arizona legislators plan to decertify Biden electors—forcing a lawsuit to prevent other states from trying to do the same.
Trump's plan is to promote fake audits in every battleground state he lost that's controlled by Republicans, ending in a decertification of electors in those states. That'll force lawsuits that have to go to SCOTUS. Trump says SCOTUS can't overrule legislatures (which is insane).

(🔐) NEW SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT: Tonight is the debut of "Top 100 Android Video Games," a PROOF series I've been working on for weeks now.

This *isn't* a typical review series, so I'll discuss it more in this thread. I hope you'll subscribe, read, and share. sethabramson.substack.com/p/the-top-100-…
1/ Most of you reading this know that I teach video games at a university; used to review video games at Indiewire; have been an avid gamer since the Intellivision dropped in 1979; and study digital culture as an academic. But one thing I was never interested in was mobile games.
2/ Up until the pandemic, I thought of mobile gaming as *most* people still do: full of low-quality time-wasters and money-suckers whose most popular exemplars show up in annoying TV/Instagram ads that suggest the only audience being sought for them is kids. I hear this critique.

(THREAD) A TRUE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ON JANUARY 6

1⃣ PELOSI names the members of the Committee, which include Rep. Liz CHENEY (R-WY).

Q: Is the Committee bipartisan?
A: ✅.

Q: How many Republicans are on the Committee?
A: 1⃣.
2⃣ PELOSI contacts House Minority Leader Kevin MCCARTHY (R-CA) to inform him that she has accepted the majority of his GOP submissions to the Committee.

Q: Is the Committee bipartisan?
A: ✅.

Q: How many Republicans are on the Committee?
A: 4⃣.
3⃣ Because Nancy PELOSI had rejected two of the Committee proposals made by MCCARTHY—in both instances because MCCARTHY wanted men on the Committee *who are witnesses in the case the Committee is investigating*—MCCARTHY ordered 3⃣ of the 4⃣ Republicans on the Committee to resign.

I don't think CNN or other cable networks should run insurrectionist press conferences anymore. Right now my TV shows at least 2 Trump co-conspirators being given a stage to say that the only people that need to be investigated over the GOP-incited January 6 attack are Democrats.
In a serious country, it's not "news" when thousands of major-media reports establish that an armed insurrection was coordinated by Republicans and then two Republicans implicated in those reports call a presser to demand a probe of their political opponents.

That's just lunacy.
McCarthy, Jordan, and the rest of the insurrectionists have made clear time and time again that the phrase "we need to find out why we were so ill-prepared for January 6" is code for their conspiracy theory that Pelosi and Bowser conspired with the USCP to "let" January 6 happen.

(🔐) NEW at PROOF: An Updated List of Trumpworld Figures Who Have Been Criminally Investigated or Referred, Impeached, Arrested, or Convicted, As Well As Those Who Are Presently Fugitives From Justice

This is the largest catalog of its kind now available. sethabramson.substack.com/p/updated-list…
(NOTE) The list isn't just alphabetized and divided into more than a dozen categories, it also indicates which individuals received pardons from Trump and which sought his intervention in their cases. The list will continue to be updated as more Trumpworld figures are arrested.
(NOTE2) PROOF readers are the absolute best. They already caught two names I missed. The list is now well over 70. Most articles you find on major media—I don't know why—poop out at 5 to 8. That's a tragedy. This new PROOF list is likely to surpass 100 as I continue work on it.
