New reporting: Russia sought to sway the election in tiny Moldova this year, spending millions of dollars on synthetic influencers and a flood of TikTok videos. They have a whole system for this. They're practiced. Do we really think they didn't do the same in the US? 1/
All of these tactics are well-documented in other countries. Some here. We know that Russians have infiltrated US online movements to create division and discord. They weakened the anti-Trump movement in 2017 that way. They never stopped. 2/

The influencers who brought the crowd to Jan 6 have so many Russian ties it cannot be coincidence. Russia is bad at conventional war; they are losing in Ukraine. But they excel at a cheaper approach: convincing us to do the work and destroy ourselves. 3/

Jan 6 is in the news again as GOP Senators reveal that FBI searched their phone records in 2023. A totally reasonable action, but what's surprising is the list. The FBI left off Ted Cruz, by far the Senator with the most known ties to Jan 6! And they added some surprises 1/ Image
The article by @etuckerAP & @stephengroves gives the basics, but not why this information was released now or why these Senators were chosen. Before Jan 6, Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz were talked of as a team plotting something - so why isn't Cruz here? 2/
apnews.com/article/fbi-ja…
The FBI has private sources of information, but the list is still baffling. (Why Dan Sullivan of AK?) The Congressional Insurrection Scores rank lawmakers by publicly known actions around Jan 6. In this metric, Sens Cruz, Hawley, & Tuberville stand out. 3/

Just unbelievable stuff coming from independent journalists. Jack Posobiec, a Roger Stone protege, was one of the biggest spreaders of Russian disinfo in 2016. Of Pizzagate. Of election-fraud claims in 2020. And it took til now to show he was voting fraudulently himself? 1/ Image
Slate picked up this article (kudos!) but both journos are independent.

Poso was one of the first people tapped for Ali Alexander's Stop the Steal. He pushed election-fraud claims to 1M followers, watched the J6 attack from Alex Jones' rented rooftop. 2/
slate.com/news-and-polit…
How is it that with all the resources of mainstream media his own voter fraud gets uncovered only now? How did CBS cover Poso, a major propagandist and a vector for foreign influence? They interviewed him about "the death of his friend Charlie Kirk". 3/

Dear god, our politicians have learned nothing. DO NOT LET YOUR OPPONENT SET THE NARRATIVE. Offense, not defense. The answer to "you are shutting the government down to give illegal immigrants healthcare" is "The GOP shut down the government to give handouts to billionaires." 1/
Never, never, use their framing. It does not work to try to avoid a fight by saying "we all agree", if your opponent is determined to fight. It just concedes territory. It makes their framing the topic Don't defend against a bad-faith argument. Attack and move forward. 2/
If someone insists on fighting you, you have to fight back. DO NOT ANSWER A BAD-FAITH QUESTION. Do not cede that authority. Just say the question is bs - attack their motivation - and move on to say what you think is true. Be the boss, set the terms of the debate. 3/

Trump's push to take over universities ratchets up: having failed to bully Harvard, he's now trying to bribe turncoats, offering "priority for federal grants" if they obey orders and teach right-wing views. It's compelled speech: a flagrant violation of the 1st Amendment. 1/ Image
The WSJ, which first reported on the offer, buried the lede here. What's demanded of the 9 universities if they accept Premier Status is that they make 'governance changes' and abolish departments seen as 'belittling' 'conservative ideas'. Bribed speech is compelled speech. 2/ Image
All that pearl-clutching about Free Speech On Campus? It meant nothing. About "DEI bias" and how we're now bringing back Merit and Excellence? Nothing. What's going on is the government trying to dictate what your children are taught. Just as this account warned was coming. 3/ Image

Howard Lutnick, Jeffrey Epstein's next-door neighbor, seems to be on a pre-emptive damage control tour. Like Elon Musk, he says he visited Epstein's house, but only once: "I was one and done with the guy". Sure are an awful lot of Epstein ties in Trump's advisors. Here's 7... 1/
Alex Acosta, the Florida AG who gave Epstein a sweet (and secret) plea deal, got named as Trump's Secretary of Labor. Pam Bondi, the Florida AG who declined to support lawsuits by Epstein's victims, is now the US Attorney General. 2/

Trump's HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. was a friend of Epstein's, partied with him, traveled with him, and flew on his airplane at least twice. 3/

Pete Hegseth has recalled America's top military leaders from around the world for a meeting that's livestreamed on Fox. It truly could have been a Zoom call.

People were speculating whether this is nefarious vs. stupid. It looks like Team Stupid wins.
This is just gay panic on a national stage. Never has America so much needed gender studies departments to explain the psychopathologies haunting our leaders.
Team Nefarious is not completely out of the game yet, as Hegseth suggests military leaders who don't comport to his thinking should resign.
