Spotted convicted seditionist Enrique Tarrio at CPAC

I heard a disturbance in the hall at CPAC and this is what it ended up being

Greg Bovino has arrived at CPAC 2026

Steve Bannon has arrived at CPAC 2026

Some things I picked up along the way on the first day of CPAC 2026

Some people I've seen

It's Day 1 of CPAC and I already managed to get my hands on a LaRouchite publication that is being handed out at a vendor table in the expo hall

Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse in Dallas www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/...

Here, @stevanzetti.bsky.social & I explore how the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals transformed from a liberal court to one of the most reactionary & the disturbing career of Judge James Ho and his views on birthright citizenship & other issues. open.spotify.com/episode/6iHT...

In a new interview with Tommy Robinson, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) said the West wouldn't "survive" under Islam, mosques were "at odds with our way of life," & Islam was not "a religion that is worth protecting ... under the 1st Amendment." Robinson praised Roy as "a man with a vision, a man with a plan."

Far-right figure Tommy Robinson posted online a few days ago an interview with Texas Railroad Commission GOP candidate Bo French, where French told Robinson that Muslims are on a "civilizational jihad" & thus "we have to ban Islam." Robinson in turn lauded French for his "bravery."

Experts say the outcome of the Prairieland "Antifa" case will give the Trump administration the green light to take a more aggressive stance against left-wing activity and further politicize the use of domestic terrorism laws. www.texasobserver.org/prairieland-...

It should be illegal for one of the best Dallas dive bars, which serves excellent Vietnamese food, to have a kitchen takeover serving Tex Mex. I already have enough access to Tex Mex.

They sent the AG all of our ORRs. Its a children’s treasury of local media going, “ONE MEMBER OF THE MEDIA ALREADY HAS THIS WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”

lol come on man, the Dallas Morning News already has them

“I think this is the worst-case-scenario verdict.” New from @stevanzetti.bsky.social: Late last week, feds notched a victory in an unprecedented and controversial trial that sought to tie alleged members of “Antifa” to domestic terrorism, a case that could cast a long shadow over free expression.

Breaking: the DOGE deposition videos have been taken off YouTube. On Friday the government asked a judge to intervene, said the videos could cause reputational damage, death threats. Judge agreed, ordered them removed: www.404media.co/doge-deposit...

Well, @stevanzetti.bsky.social and I just became that meme tweet because the story we’ve been working on for months was just basically completely outlined by a city council member on Facebook. www.facebook.com/share/p/17RL...

"D Magazine (via reporter Steven Monacelli) filed an open records request for emails...We’ve paid up, but we still don’t have our emails. But you know who does?... Councilmember Adam Bazaldua...the emails revealed that there have been secret site visits underway." www.dmagazine.com/micropost/ai...

Regarding some things I just learned about the debate over whether to tear down Dallas City Hall

On Lawfare Daily, Tom Brzozowski, Troy Edwards, and @stevanzetti.bsky.social sat down with Peter Beck to discuss the terrorism trial of an alleged Antifa cell in North Texas, practices around domestic terrorism prosecutions, how the trial is unique, and more. youtu.be/2uQucZSEpXQ

"No reporters have pierced the secrecy veil...Steven Monacelli told me he filed an open records request on Jan. 20 seeking all emails from the past year between key city staff, area landowners, developers and both sports teams...None have been released." www.dallasnews.com/opinion/comm...

Some positive news: this guy lost his primary election thebarbedwire.com/2025/12/02/j...

Here's a Jan. 6 rioter posing with a press pass before Pete Hegseth's press conference, just to give you a sense of the type of "journalists" who were in the Pentagon briefing room this morning.

Assuming this is true, my choices are: Closeted Nazi Bar, The Land of Brands and Influencers, or Park Slope Food Coop. Even if imperfect, at least the third option doesn't profit the worst people in the world or suppress links to journalism websites. Quite the Cornelian dilemma.

The National Christian Charitable Foundation, one of the largest donor-advised funds, funneled more than $5 million in grants to the Dallas Express in 2024. NCCF facilitates billions in grants for Christian and far-right organizations such as Alliance Defending Freedom. The donors remain anonymous.

If you're an expert in nonprofit tax filings, I'd like to talk to you about something

I'm not an expert in YouTube metrics. If you are, I would love to know whether you think it's normal for a video to get 2.4 million views and only have one comment.

This is a really troubling conviction that could scare people from filming ICE in public and chill First Amendment rights. Also, if the feds are actually concerned about its agents being doxxed, they’re complete morons:
