HAPPENING NOW: I'm on the call now where Derrek Evans is having an initial appearance before Magistrate Eifert. They are reading the allegations out loud.

*Derrick
They are laying out, second by second, what was seen on the since deleted video posted to Evans' Facebook live-stream.
Also talking about other posts on Evans' FB page leading up to the Jan. 6 protest in D.C.
Now they are reading Evans' "official statement" where he said he was an independent member of the media.
Evans says "yes, your honor" when asked if he understands the charges against him.
U.S. has 30 days to indict him.
BREAKING: U.S. "does not request detention" for Derrick Evans.
Evans will not be detained.
Judge will release Evans on a PR bond. He doesn't have to put money down. There will be bond conditions, according to the Magistrate.
No requests for travel restrictions from U.S.

This week marks 12 months since Josephine Cashman supplied Andrew Bolt with a letter falsely attributed to a Yolngu lawman that Bolt published via NewsCorp on Jan 26 as parcel of his persecution of Bruce Pascoe. Cashman & Bolt still haven’t provided a satisfactory explanation

Terry Yumbulul didn’t write the letter and didn’t agree with its content. He said so himself in a video published the next day
https://t.co/IJ6ricZeRi and in a written statement published later the same day


The weird thing was, it soon emerged that large sections of the letter had been cribbed from other sources. Weird because as a Yolngu lawman, Terry didn’t need to borrow his knowledge from unrelated, alternate sources ... pretty much verbatim

The fallout was swift. Bolt was compelled to do a correction on his column and Cashman was just as swiftly dumped from her position of the Morrison government’s Senior Advisory Group for an Indigenous Voice to Government

There was no apology from either of them or from NewsCorp tho, and with the assistance of Sky News After Dark they desperately attempted to obfuscate the reality that everybody involved had been caught out and left red faced
1/1 On @seanhannity last night (at 5:56 of this clip), @SenTedCruz said that the Hayes-Tilden Commission was "charged with reviewing the evidence and making a determination about the disputed ballots." That's incorrect. The Commission was tasked with determining which rival ...

A quick thread on the new variant, pulling together information from news sources, twitter, genomic databases, and word from well-placed peers.


The new variant in the UK consists of several mutations in the spike protein, including ΔH69/ΔV70 deletions & other receptor binding domain mutations such as N501Y.

The variant is described here in this pre-print from @GuptaR_lab.

The ΔH69/ΔV70 variant continues to increase quite rapidly as a proportion of overall positives (roughly doubling in the last 2 to three days), and is apparently now the dominant strain in test positives in some regions.

Extensive efforts have gone into enhanced surveillance for the ΔH69/ΔV70 deletion with and without RBD mutations, and it is good that we are aware of this.

There is a need for calm and rational thinking, and more evidence is needed.

But the early data is certainly concerning
