The defendant, Mathew Capsel, agrees.
A hearing in the case of one of the Capitol rioters accused of assault is about to begin.
Some background via @Matt_Naham: "'Mateo Q' Accused of Attacking National Guardsmen at Capitol. His Tweets Are Exactly What You Would Expect."
Live-tweet ahead.
The defendant, Mathew Capsel, agrees.
"Yes, ma'am."
She reviews his financial affidavit, and she agrees to his public defender.
They will proceed on that motion.
"There's violence in this defendant's history, as a juvenile and as an adult."
He alleges that he has a history of trespass as well, before the Capitol insurrection.
Capsel has a record of domestic battery, and he tried to leave the state of Illinois, failing to appear to a proceeding for this incident.
"He was half a country away."
Capsel's attorney, Hill, urges the judge to follow that recommendation and release her client.
"Although he does have some criminal history," she says most of that is his juvenile record.

She calls her client's charges less serious, conceivably resulting in probation. https://t.co/wWRcq1cGa8
Mathew Capsel allegedly assaulted National Guardsmen at the Capitol insurrection and shared the evidence in a video he shared on TikTok.
Prosecutors say he has a history of violence and flight.
He was released on bond before trial this morning. https://t.co/veeOygP2rl

E. Jean Carroll goes to court against outgoing Pres. Trump this morning, in a lawsuit accusing the lame duck of defaming her by denying that he raped her.
Trump wants to pause proceedings to appeal the ruling kicking DOJ out, but for now, it's still on.
Today is an initial telephone conference following Judge Kaplan's ruling that the DOJ can't represent Trump and ordering his personal lawyer Marc Kasowitz back on the docket.
Kasowitz's latest filing from last night: https://t.co/tsTqJanOVe
I'll be covering the proceedings live... in the remote, virtual sense of our era.
.@EJeanCarroll's lawyer @KaplanRobbie is now on the line.
The conference is slated to begin in roughly 5 minutes.

The Supreme Court also found vaccine mandates legal since 1905, making it more than century-old settled law.
(The decision was over the state enforcing vaccine mandates, but the same principle applies.)

Let me take a stab at this after years of reporting on Marine One, HMX-1, Continuity of Government, etc. None of this is definitive, but it could help explain what folks are seeing:
1.) HMX-1, which flies the VH-3D and VH-60N 'White Top' helicopters used to move... 1/X
the President and VP around, those helos being called Marine One or Two when either is onboard, need to train. The urban landing zones, including WH and VP Residence, are not simple to get in and out of. So, crews need some currency training. They are not just tasked with... 2/X
moving POTUS and VP to get them around the region and to Andrews AFB for long-haul flights, they are essential to Continuity of Government operations. This means that if a threat were to emerge, they need to be ready to snatch POTUS and VP in minutes. This is partially... 3/X
why they have a full forward operating location at Naval Support Activity Anacostia, just 3 miles from the WH. As such, practice is important and considering the state of things, it is critical now more than in any recent memory. 4/X
2.) Considering what happened last week, including mobs of Trump supporters screaming in unison to hang the VP for doing what the constitution states, absolutely despicable in every way, security has been tightened just as it has been all over. Using the helicopters instead.. 5/X

Parents in cities, please pay attention to the reopening details from the Whitehouse.
Biden says "small classes". What we need to understand is how they plant to accomplish this.
Through "childcare programs in schools". We see this all over states w/ closed schools.
We need to grasp that the AFT, NEA, & local unions are systematically working to decouple education from childcare.
Their vision is your child sitting on a device all day, watched by a childcare worker, being "taught" from a Teacher working from
This isn't a paranoid conspiracy theory - it is already happening in the majority of districts across the US where schools are closed.
"Learning Hubs" open, supervised by childcare workers, sometimes in the same "unsafe" school
There is NO OTHER WAY to get "small classes" without Hybrid + wraparound childcare. Your child will spend 2-3 days per WEEK supervised by low wage workers and sitting on a laptop.
Here's
Fairfax,
