The U.S. Attorney's office announced an update on charges related to the U.S. Capitol insurrection soon.
As I cover that, my colleague @ColinKalmbacher will live-tweet the Aaron Mostofsky hearing.
"We have opened 160 case files, and that is just the tip of the iceberg."
We have received more than 100K pieces of digital media.
He solicits more at 1-800-CALL-FBI
He credits pre-siege intelligence to the arrest of Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio before Jan. 6 https://t.co/lLYLUsndyn
He says he anticipates hundreds of cases.
The numbers will "geometrically increase."
"This is just the beginning."
Now after those charges are filed, then we have the ability to indict these individuals on more significant charges.
"I just want to clarify that the initial charges we're filing, some of these misdemeanors, are only the beginning. They are not the end."
The FBI, working with U.S. Attorney's office, are looking at cases that potentially include sedition and conspiracy cases.

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.

This is a good piece on fissures within the GOP but I think it mischaracterizes the Trump presidency as “populist” & repeats a story about how conservatives & the GOP expelled the far-right in the mid-1960s that is actually far more complicated. /1
I don’t think the sharp opposition between “hard-edge populism” & “conservative orthodoxy” holds. Many of the Trump administration’s achievements were boilerplate conservatism. Its own website trumpets things like “massive deregulation,” tax cuts, etc. /2
https://t.co/N97v85Bb79
The claim that Buckley and “key GOP politicians banded together to marginalize anti-Communist extremism and conspiracy-mongering” of the JBS has been widely repeated lately but the history is more complicated. /3
This tweet by @ThePlumLineGS citing a paper by @sam_rosenfeld and @daschloz on the "porous" boundary between conservatives, the GOP and the far-right is relevant in this context.
This is a separate point but I find it interesting that Gaetz, like Roy Moore did In his failed Senate campaign, disses McConnell. What are their actual policy differences? MM supported taking health care away from millions, a tax cut for the rich, conservative judges, etc. /5

There's a great paper called "The Long New Right" that tells the story of the GOP/conservative movement's failure to police extremists for the last 50 years.

It's highly relevant to the insurrection and Marjorie Greene's lunacy.

To people who are under the impression that you can get rich quickly by working on an app, here are the stats for https://t.co/az8F12pf02
📈 ~12000 vistis
☑️ 109 transactions
💰 353€ profit (285 after tax)
I have spent 1.5 months on this app. You can make more $ in 2 days.
🤷♂️
I'm still happy that I launched a paid app bcs it involved extra work:
- backend for processing payments (+ permissions, webhooks, etc)
- integration with payment processor
- UI for license activation in Electron
- machine activation limit
- autoupdates
- mailgun emails
etc.
These things seemed super scary at first. I always thought it was way too much work and something would break. But I'm glad I persisted. So far the only problem I have is that mailgun is not delivering the license keys to certain domains like https://t.co/6Bqn0FUYXo etc. 👌
omg I just realized that me . com is an Apple domain, of course something wouldn't work with these dicks
