There are literally dozens of US Capitol Insurrection cases (SO FAR) in which defendants mention.. or appear to threaten.. Nancy Pelosi. Per my review of case filings
THREAD: Let's go through just *some* of them
There's Richard Barnett who was accused of leaving a vulgar note for Pelosi, putting feet on desk in her office suite and taking her mail
Charging documents say Oliver Sarko of Ohio has video from Jan 6 saying, "Bring out Pelosi"
Leonard Ridge of Pennsylvania is accused of saying "America First B***h" upon entering Capitol and using Snapchat to say he raided Nancy Pelosi's office
Richard Harris of Florida is accused of picking up phone in Capitol and saying, "“Can I speak to Pelosi? We’re coming b*** ."
Feds allege Audrey Southard-Rumsey also said "Tell Pelosi we are coming for that b**" before shoving police sgt & pushing him into door w/ flagpole ("felt like he was being trampled")
There's the man accused of taking Pelosi office lectern
And... the woman who was accused of taking a computer from the Pelosi office suite
Oh.. and there's Hunter Palm. Feds say Palm looked at open computer on table in Pelosi offices and said "Who's good at hacking?"
And there are the other cases in which there are allegations of striking, ugly misogynistic language against a female officeholder.
It's a thread connecting so many of these cases

STAND BY: Court hearing is imminent here in DC, as plaintiffs seek judge's order to block Trump Admin. from seizing, closing and razing the East Potomac public golf course in DC
Plaintiffs: "Trust is no longer an option. As it did with the East Wing, the administration has chosen arbitrariness over abiding by the law"
Judge Ana Reyes will oversee this hearing
Plaintiff (DC Preservation League) has filed this 17-page request for court to intervene, arguing Trump Admin intends to "transform East Potomac Park into an unrecognizable venue bearing no resemblance to its historic design and replete with features that will significantly affect the quality of the human environment"
Trump Admin has just filed this brief 5-page argument, alleging they are only beginning "deferred maintenance" projects today
Including "basic housekeeping and repairs that do not require any environmental compliance documentation like fence cleaning and debris cleanup activities"
ALERT: New House legislation would block Trump Admin from vacating Jan 6 seditious conspiracy cases
Bill would change rules of crim. procedure to “clarify federal judges have the authority to accept or reject the govt’s motion to dismiss ‘in the interests of justice”
(MORE)
Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA) is the sponsor
Scanlon argues, “Reforming Rule 48a to ensure that federal judges have appropriate oversight over problematic prosecutorial decisions will reinforce an important check and balance to ensure the integrity of our justice system"

Bill is a deep, deep longshot in this Congress, but raises the issue for Democrats: Trump’s attempt to whitewash January 6th are not politically popular with broad swaths of Americans and are a risk to the safety of future elections (MORE)
FLASH: Kash Patel has filed $250 million defamation lawsuit against the Atlantic
Filed here in DC
Here's the 19-page civil complaint from Kash Patel against The Atlantic
Patel claims "Defendants published the Article with actual malice, despite being expressly warned, hours before publication, that the central allegations were categorically false"
FLASH: Federal judge James Boasberg QUASHED subpoenas from Trump Admin into Fed chair Jerome Powell
Judge: "A mountain of evidence suggests that the Government served these subpoenas on the Board to pressure its Chair into voting for lower interest rates or resigning. On the other side of the scale, the Government has produced essentially zero evidence to suspect Chair Powell of a crime"
Trump's Truth Social posts appear to have gravely injured his attempt to get a criminal case against Jerome Powell
From judge's opinion to quash subpoena of Powell ===>
Just a blistering opinion from the judge:
"The President spent years essentially asking if no one will rid him of this troublesome Fed Chair. He then suggested a specific line of investigation into him, which had been proposed by a political appointee with no role in law enforcement, who hinted that it could be a way to remove Powell. The President’s appointed prosecutor promptly complied.."
Sen. Dick Durbin says whistleblower has revealed "in the immediate aftermath of the murder of Charlie Kirk, the FBI’s shooting reconstruction team was asked to fly to Utah to aid the investigation and process the scene. However, the team’s deployment was delayed by at least a day because of a Bureau plane and pilot shortage caused by the Director’s personal flights"
Sen. Durbin also says "The Director’s misplaced priorities and poor management of the FBI’s resources—including its aircraft—also harmed the FBI’s ability to respond to the shooting at Brown University on December 13, 2025. Once again, the shooting reconstruction team was set to respond to the scene immediately, but was unable to fly out of Richmond, Virginia, using one of the FBI’s planes."
Sen. Durbin says a source revealed Kash Patel previously said at an FBI field office meeting: "If you have golf, hockey, fishing, or hunting and beautiful sights, you’re going to see a lot of me."
Rep Brendan Boyle (D-PA): “This ruling is a victory for every American family paying higher prices because of Trump’s tariff taxes. The Supreme Court rejected Trump’s attempt to impose what amounted to a national sales tax on hardworking Americans”
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN): "With today’s decision, it is clear that Congress – not the president – has the power to impose tariffs. We must reassert this authority and stand up for American workers, businesses, and consumers.”
