Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump charged with threats against Hakeem Jeffries Prosecutors said that Christopher Moynihan was among the first rioters to enter the Capitol grounds and watched rioters fight with police at the rotunda door.

If you’re thinking “huh, it’s pretty notable that they didn’t just pop this guy federally, especially since that would undermine the administration’s narrative about political violence,” astute observation, have an inquiry into the U.S. Attorney’s Office about that. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Last week, I broke the story of how a Russian street fight promotion expanded into the US with help of neo-nazis from the Active Club network & Patriot Front.

Streets Fight Club (SFC) has promoted no-rules, bare-knuckle fights on Instagram & YouTube while raising funds for Russia’s war on Ukraine.

As someone doxxed by Andy Ngo, myself, I understand the drama it can bring.

His latest target, Daryle Lamont Jenkins is the hero of the film SKIN, and an even greater hero in real life: A Black man who, on his own for decades, has targeted and transformed white supremacists.

Now, he needs our help

"Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people," said Attorney General Paxton. "The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk marks a turning point in America.
There can be no compromise with those who want us dead. To that end, I have directed my office to continue its efforts to identify, investigate, and infiltrate these leftist terror cells. To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."
The radical Left has incubated an environment where political violence is not only justified but celebrated and praised. In July, nearly two dozen armed leftists connected to various Texas-based Antifa-like groups ambushed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") facility in Alvarado, Texas. On September 10, 2025, a leftist assassin connected to the radical transgender movement murdered Charlie Kirk because of Kirk's bold support for truth, love of country, and unshakable faith. Two weeks later, another deranged leftist opened fire at an ICE facility in Dallas.
President Donald Trump has officially designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and instructed his administration to "utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa." Building on President Trump's bold actions, Attorney General Paxton has instructed his office to initiate sweeping investigations into radical leftist organizations engaged in or providing support to those performing political violence.

Citing the “martyrdom” of Charlie Kirk, Texas AG Ken Paxton says his office is pursuing sweeping undercover investigations into “leftist” groups. “To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."

19-year-old New Mexican accused in violent threats after Kirk assassination A McKinley County teenager is in federal custody after allegedly making violent threats on social media following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

“In an interview with law enforcement agents, Allen said he identifies as a neo-Nazi, ‘hates Jews and minorities,’ and ‘believes a civil war is inevitable in the United States and wants to help spark the civil war by terrorizing people online’…”

Huntington Beach, CA - As Patriot Front, Ryan Sanchez and Neo-Nazi groups are leaving they began to pummel one man in a leather jacket, who told me he was there to mourn Kirk but “hated Nazis.”

Attackers include members of the GDL and Robert Wheldon.

The aim is to be remembered, discussed, to turn oneself into content that then becomes the next reference on a gun.

While the threat landscape evolves rapidly, our frameworks remain static & ill-equipped to meet these challenges. Read ISD’s latest to learn more.
