Context: Baked Alaska is a 34-year-old man born in the year 1987.
Plenty of Capitol rioters still on the family plan, but a 34-year-old still on mom’s plan is something of a rarity!
If you’re just a few months shy of presidential eligibility, it might be time to get your own plan.

NEW: A federal prosecutor told jurors that Guy Reffitt was “ecstatic about what he did” after he led the mob up the stairs of the Capitol on Jan. 6 while armed.

More to come from closing arguments soon.

The feds say the gun on Reffitt’s nightstand (under the Trump hat and next to the empty Coronas) is the one he was wearing when he attempted to storm the Capitol. nbcnews.com/politics/justi… Image

Closing arguments in the first Jan. 6 trial are set to begin in 10 minutes. Jurors will likely begin deliberating Guy Reffitt’s fate tomorrow morning.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Risa Berkower — who prosecuted the Charlottesville "Unite the Right” killer and other high-profile federal defendants — is now delivering the government’s closing argument.
Berkower: He had squared off with the Capitol Police, and now he squared off with his own children.

Another day in the first Jan. 6 trial against Capitol attack defendant Guy Reffitt.

Yesterday, we heard from his son, Jackson Reffitt, about the “surreal” experience of tipping off the FBI about his dad.

nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Dad: "Hold my beer and I'll show you."

Son: "I thought I was going to see something in August."

Dad: “Your first mistake was you thought.”

nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Son who turned his dad into the FBI: “Yeah you know they are tracking down everyone who was there right?”

Dad who recorded himself talking about committing crimes: “Yeppers."

Matthew Beddingfield didn’t leave the Capitol until 3:07 p.m.

So unless he had a teleportation device, he violated the terms of his pretrial release on a first-degree attempted murder charge (and broke several federal laws!) when he violently stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Here’s racist troll Matthew Beddingfield leaving the Capitol in a red “__UM_” shirt at 3:07 p.m., after battling it out with police while he was out on bond on a first-degree attempted murder charge after he shot a Hispanic teen in a Walmart parking lot. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Beddingfield’s home is 250+ miles from DC, so unless he found his dad, got to their car instantly, hit no traffic, and did 110 mph all the way down I-95, he missed curfew. The trip should take four hours.

"Under the Constitution, he is presented before this court as an innocent young man with a presumption of release..."

A federal public defender for a racist troll who stormed the U.S. Capitol while he was out on bail on an attempted murder charge is arguing for his release.
"Beddingfield appears to harbor deep resentment towards the Black, Hispanic, Native American, and LGBTQ+ communities while glorifying white supremacist figures, beliefs, language, and ideologies," DOJ alleged in a detention memo. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Matthew Beddingfield's federal public defender writes that the government dedicates too much ink to "Matthew's protected speech and equally protected literature." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

In dramatic testimony at Guy Reffitt’s Jan. 6 trial, his son Jackson Reffitt testifies that he sent a tip to the FBI while alone in his bedroom on Christmas Eve 2020.

He never heard from the FBI until after the Jan. 6 attack.
The government has displayed a number of text messages from the family text chain.

Jackson Reffitt’s messages are in blue.

Guy Reffitt’s messages are in green.

Jackson Reffitt says he sarcastically called his dad “a hero” on the family text chain. When he read the “a hero” quote in court just now, he raised his eyebrows in the way you’d expect.
