2/PROJECT VERITAS MUTINY🧵

Barry Hinckley is the heir to the Hinckley Yachts family, a failed Senate candidate from Rhode Island, and CEO of a failed company that called itself the Airbnb of private house parties. Why did he attack @JamesOKeefeIII in just four months? Image

Barry Hinckley, desperate for fame and fortune, recorded himself asking Ms. Bridget Beer to marry him. Hopefully, he's better at strategy than singing...
4/PROJECT VERITAS MUTINY🧵

Barry Hinckley recruited 11 other @Project_Veritas employees to sign a letter declaring @JamesOKeefeIII a “power-drunk tyrant" which he presumably sent to PV's board of directors in an effort to oust him from the company.

7/PROJECT VERITAS MUTINY🧵

I have ZERO doubt that @JamesOKeefeIII is a crazy man who is hard to work for, but without James, there would be no PV. Firing him would be the end of @Project_Veritas. The answer is to build a team who can support James not undermine him. I'm game. Image
8/PROJECT VERITAS MUTINY🧵

The decision to put @JamesOKeefeIII on paid leave seems to have been Daniel Strack, PV's Executive Director. Strack was unceremoniously pushed out of Goldman Sachs as an MD after just 3 years.

TSA WEAPONIZATION🧵: Bombshell reporting by @tracybeanz and @wmahoney5 reveals that a TSA whistleblower informed @LaboscoSonya, Executive Director of the Air Marshal National Council, that Tulsi Gabbard is actively under surveillance via the TSA's Quiet Skies Program.In an exclusive breaking story, several Federal Air Marshal whistleblowers have come forward with information showing that former U.S. Representative and Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard is currently enrolled in the Quiet Skies program. Quiet Skies is a TSA surveillance program with its own compartmentalized suspected terrorist watchlist. It is the same program being weaponized against J6 defendants and their families. Quiet Skies is allegedly used to protect traveling Americans from suspected domestic terrorists. The photo below is a screenshot from the actual Target Package used by th...
TSA WEAPONIZATION🧵: If the TSA whistleblower's report is accurate and the Biden admin has weaponized the Quiet Skies Program against a former member of Congress and presidential candidate, the next question should be: Which other political enemies is the president monitoring?The whistleblowers first shared the information with Sonya LaBosco, the Executive Director of the Air Marshal National Council (AMNC), a national advocacy group for the Federal Air Marshals (FAMs). According to LaBosco, at least one of the whistleblowers is ready to go on the record with pertinent documentation. LaBosco shared that Gabbard is unaware she has two Explosive Detection Canine Teams, one Transportation Security Specialist (explosives), one plainclothes TSA Supervisor, and three Federal Air Marshalls on every flight she boards. LaBosco has attempted to contact Gabbard and her sta...

🧵A declassified FBI document confirms longstanding suspicions of the agency's active involvement with Patriot Front for years. With 950 pages of details (heavily redacted), it’s evident that numerous federal assets are deeply embedded within the organization. Interestingly, the group's only documented criminal activity appears to be the illegal placement of posters on public and private property. I'll post links to the FBI's documents (again, not terribly interesting given the fact they've been heavily redacted).The FBI's heavily redacted 950-page declassified document reveals the agency's involvement with the group through undercover assets and confidential human sources. The only criminal activity highlighted is the illegal placement of stickers and posters on public and private property. Notably, the document fails to explain why the FBI blocked the prosecution of Patriot Front leader Thomas Ryan Rousseau.
🧵The FBI declassified two packages of documents on the suspected federal front group Patriot Front on Monday:

This story keeps getting more bizarre. CNN is reporting Crooks bought 50 rounds of ammo, a 12' ladder from Home Depot and walked a mile to the rally with his father's AR-15, the ammo, and the ladder in tow. Nobody noticed him or stopped him? Image
UPDATE: So there is much debate about where the car was parked and how far he walked. Here is what I can parse from all of the reporting -

The shooter went to Home Depot to buy the telescoping ladder. He either left his car at Home Depot and walked about a mile as the crow flies (two miles via road) or he drove closer to the rally, parked, and walked a shorter distance. I went back and reviewed the CNN reporting and it isn't clear which they meant. They simply said he bought the ladder and walked to the rally - they may have omitted the short drive down the road in their reporting.

At the end of the day, we know that the shooter walked some distance - a mile, a half mile, a quarter mile - carrying a ladder, an AR-15, and ammo.Image

SCOTUS DECISION🧵: The first case - Ohio v. EPA

Case Summary:
The Supreme Court ruled on the "good neighbor" policy case concerning the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and its regulations to limit cross-state air pollution. The central issue was whether the EPA had the authority to enforce stringent rules on states to curb air pollution that affects neighboring states.

Opinion:
The Supreme Court granted applications for a stay, effectively halting the enforcement of the EPA's "good neighbor" policy. The decision underscores the limits of the EPA's regulatory authority, emphasizing state sovereignty in managing local environmental issues.

Majority Opinion:
Justice Neil Gorsuch delivered the opinion of the Court. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh joined Gorsuch in the majority. The Court's decision reflects a conservative approach to federal regulatory power, aligning with principles of state autonomy and limited federal intervention.

Dissenting Opinion:
Justice Amy Coney Barrett filed a dissenting opinion, joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson. The dissent argued in favor of the EPA's authority to implement the "good neighbor" policy, highlighting the importance of federal oversight in addressing interstate environmental challenges.

Vote:
The decision was a 5-4 split.

SCOTUS DECISION🧵: The second case - Harrington v. Purdue Pharma

Case Summary:
The Supreme Court reviewed the case involving Purdue Pharma L.P., the company notorious for its role in the opioid crisis. The central issue was whether the bankruptcy court had the authority to approve a settlement that granted immunity from opioid-related lawsuits to the Sackler family, owners of Purdue Pharma, as part of the company's bankruptcy proceedings.

Opinion:
The Supreme Court reversed the lower court's decision and remanded the case for further proceedings. This decision effectively blocks the proposed settlement that would have shielded the Sackler family from liability.

Majority Opinion:
Justice Neil Gorsuch delivered the opinion of the Court, with Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, and Ketanji Brown Jackson joining. The majority opinion emphasized the limits of bankruptcy courts in approving settlements that extend immunity beyond the bankrupt entity itself, ensuring accountability for those responsible for the opioid crisis.

Dissenting Opinion:
Justice Brett Kavanaugh filed a dissenting opinion, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. The dissent argued that the settlement was a practical solution to compensate victims and address the fallout from the opioid crisis, and that blocking the settlement could delay or reduce compensation for those affected.

Vote:
The decision was a 5-4 split, with the majority favoring the reversal and remand, while the dissent supported upholding the settlement.

SCOTUS DECISION🧵: The third case - SEC v. Jarkesy

Case Summary:
The Supreme Court reviewed the case involving the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and George Jarkesy, a hedge fund manager accused of securities fraud. The central issue was whether the SEC's administrative law judges (ALJs) have the constitutional authority to adjudicate such enforcement actions, or if these cases must be heard in federal court.

Opinion:
The Supreme Court affirmed the lower court's decision and remanded the case for further proceedings. This ruling upholds the constitutionality of the SEC's use of administrative law judges for enforcement actions.

Majority Opinion:
Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the opinion of the Court, with Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett joining. The majority opinion supports the SEC's current practice, emphasizing that the use of ALJs is consistent with the Constitution and essential for the efficient enforcement of securities laws.

Concurring Opinion:
Justice Neil Gorsuch filed a concurring opinion, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas. The concurrence highlighted specific constitutional principles supporting the majority decision, particularly the importance of maintaining the separation of powers and the role of administrative agencies.

Dissenting Opinion:
Justice Sonia Sotomayor filed a dissenting opinion, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson. The dissent argued that the SEC's use of ALJs undermines the constitutional right to a jury trial and proper judicial oversight, asserting that such enforcement actions should be handled by federal courts.

Vote:
The decision was a 6-3 split.
