In this piece, @RobertMackey (who I spoke to for over an hour) describes my professional background but *fails to include the fact that I worked at NBC News for LONGER than LevinTV, even though I told him this and the info is available for all to see on my LinkedIn: ImageImage Furthermore, @RobertMackey implies that I deleted footage to protect Kyle Rittenhouse (a felony) despite the fact that I told him my phone was NOT recording at the time of the shooting and that I turned over ALL footage to the police and cooperated FULLY on night of the shooting

Participants of the armed protest near the State Capitol in Richmond, VA.

These guys tell me they have no affiliation with any militia, they are here to exercise their First and Second Amendment rights. Boogaloo Bois are also out here, along with a ton of press

Just went through a metal detector to enter the area surrounding the Capitol.

The checkpoint was manned by Secret Service, not NG Trump Hotel appears to be open for business (you just have to go through a metal detector and have any large bags sniffed by dogs first)!

DC Traffic Thread 🚨🚦🚧⚠️🏁

I just drove across DC 🏎

From what I can see, major arteries into the city are open 🚦

BUT access to the Capitol/White House/Freedom Plaza areas are mostly restricted for unauthorized car traffic within 4-5 blocks ⚠️ For access to White House/Freedom Plaza area, K street is still open for now, although anything south of there is blocked from car traffic 🚧

Old border fence VS the new wall Yuma Border Patrol Chief @USBPChiefYUM compares the older white fencing to the two new 30 foot walls:

As @USBPChiefYUM explains, this section of fence was erected in the 90’s. It’s made of “landing matte,” a Vietnam era surplus originally manufactured as landing pads for helicopters in the wetlands of Vietnam: Here @USBPChiefYUM describes some of the vulnerabilities of this design.

The angled top doesn’t allow anyone to shimmy down the north side, but it also makes for an easy place to hang out until border patrol leaves the area.

He also notes that it will be replaced this year:

Get ready to tour the border wall with @CBP #YumaSector Border Patrol calls this awesome vehicle a “sand rail,” which is used to patrol the Imperial Dunes.

I would NOT try to outrun one of these babies!

. @ShelbyTalcott and @VenturaReport have been detained and are now awaiting processing before we can attempt to post bail.
I was told by corrections that they aren’t in the system yet and can’t be released until after processing.

I will be calling every hour until they are, will provide updates.

That’s weird! It was totally peaceful on Saturday night.

Dan, why don’t you come to the protests at The White House at 12 AM on a Sat to get pepper sprayed with me?

DISCLAIMER: It will be hard to tweet sarcastically with pepper spray all over your phone/eyes
