Deep dives
Arrest of Capitol Riot Instigator
The most prominent instigator of the Capitol riot on January 6th has been arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, despite the absence of more serious charges. The arrest comes years after other January 6th insurrectionists were convicted and imprisoned. The case raises questions about why other individuals involved were charged while the instigator, Ray Epps, was not. The lack of charges and explanation has led to speculation and theories about Epps' possible connection to law enforcement agencies.
Russell Brand Demonetized Amid Allegations
British actor, comedian, and podcaster Russell Brand has been demonetized by YouTube due to rape and sexual assault allegations that recently surfaced. The accusations, dating back several years, have led to a withdrawal of financial support for Brand. The incident highlights the power of online platforms to restrict and influence the livelihoods of individuals based on allegations rather than legal proceedings, sparking concerns about due process and the role of corporations in the public square.
Auto Worker Strike and Conservative Support
An auto worker strike in Detroit presents an opportunity for conservatives to empathize with the concerns of union workers. Conservatives often hold a negative view of unions, but the strike in this instance focuses on opposition to the Biden administration's climate policies and their impact on the auto industry. This presents conservatives with a chance to expand their support by demonstrating an understanding of worker concerns and issues of collective action in the appropriate context.
A Teenage Girl's Disturbing Discovery

The flight attendant directed the girl to use the bathroom in the first-class cabin before secretly recording her with a hidden iPhone. The incident raises serious concerns about passenger safety and trust in airline personnel. The family's reaction reflects the need for legal action and emphasizes the importance of ensuring the protection of passengers' rights during air travel.
Ray Epps finally gets sentenced for jAnUaRy SiXtH (sort of), PA senator John Fetterman rambles incoherently about humping legs, and Donald Trump skips the second primary debate to rally with Detroit auto workers on strike.
