    Everyone paying attention already gets this. I'm just writing it down for my own sanity after the events of January 6. As more comes out it feels like we know less because each new fact hints at a story much bigger than the one we have heard so far.

    Developing story: Several times we have tried reaching our Presidential candidate and his number doesn’t allow incoming calls. We can only suspect that his no. has been switched off the network too. “Service does not allow access to this number”

    This is one aspect of digital government that people don't want to talk about. Given the rising frequency of internet shutdowns, will making more of our public lives digital make the government more or less likely to put in place a total internet shutdown?

    I can confirm this. I spoke with a GOP member moments ago, asking if it is true that there are House Republicans who favor impeachment but fear for their lives/physical safety if they follow through with that vote. Answer: “Yes.”

    1:39
    WATCH: Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) says majority of GOP "paralyzed with fear" : "I had a lot of conversations with my Republican colleagues. ... A couple of them broke down in tears ... saying that they are afraid for their lives if they vote for this impeachment."

    If you think a metal detector is unconstitutional wait until you hear about being digitally stripped by an x-ray machine.

    Rep. Steve Stivers (R-Ohio) just told the cops at the door he believes the magnetometers are unconstitutional.

    Telegram is NOT an "encrypted messenger." It supports end-to-end encryption ONLY if it is turned on (not by default) and ONLY for single-user chats, never for groups the way Signal, WhatsApp and iMessage do by default. I can't believe that this myth persists.

    One consequence of the forced and self-deplatforming we're seeing is a mass exodus to encrypted messengers like Telegram. So far the US has mostly managed to avoid the widespread challenges that countries like Brazil, India, and Ukraine have faced in this vein. No longer.

    Every day, a new layer is revealed.

    BREAKING: Rep. Mikie Sherrill said tonight that *members of Congress* led people through the Capitol on a "reconnaissance" mission one day before the riot. "I'm going to see they are held accountable, and if necessary, ensure they don't serve in Congress.”
