Back in federal court today for closing arguments in the trial of January 6 defendant and international underwear model John Strand. He is wearing some excellent shoes—silver loafers with a red stripe up the back, bare ankles. Not a look you see much at the defense table! The case has now gone to the jury. It’s possible we could have a verdict today. It seems clear Strand will be convicted of something but not clear what. Much will depend on how much of a dumbass the jury thinks he is. His own lawyer called him a “poseur” in closing.

People have donated a crazy amount of helmets, goggles, gloves, duct tape and snacks. @LutherPlace is hopping. I’ve seen this graffiti all over DC today and last night. It means something right? Tell me what it is?

Beautiful night for a protest, day 2. The helicopters are ruining it though. Flying low and loud. It’s very menacing. #dcprotests Bike cops blocking 16th and K while phalanx of others march like the army down 16th.
