I defended the Capitol on January 6. The rioters think they’ve won. I didn’t face the mob on January 6 just to back down now.

substack.com/@michaelfano... The feeling is mutual. Please read this article from my friend and brother Michael Fanone.

This is 46. Through challenges and adversities I learned from those experiences at home and abroad, even if they weren’t so great for me. But most importantly, I learned to count my blessings and to be grateful for the love and support you have given me. Blessings to you all.

Missing January 6th Plaque Yet again, another week of laying it on my MOCs, until the plaque is in it's place. This week I'm stumping for military members and the release of the Epstein files, and of course the J6 Plaque.

This is the letter that went out in todays mail and email blast. I'm never going to give up getting this Plaque/Memorial put in it's proper place. Tagging because you're mentioned in my letter: @libradunn1.bsky.social @semperwry.bsky.social @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/roberta8...

Happy Independence Day America! I am proud to be American. If you love America as a beacon of hope, you have to love liberty and justice for all. We must live up to its ideals.

β€œCo-equal branches” no more. Republicans elected officials/judicial appointed officials have abdicated their role of β€œcheck and balance” to show fealty to one individual rather than to the constitution. The supreme court’s decisions today is rubber stamping his utter violations of the Constitution.

Trump Organization Bringing Foreign Workers Into U.S. For Mar-a-Lago, Golf Clubs, Winery Since 2008, Trump’s company has filed to bring nearly 1,900 foreign workers into the U.S.β€”including 31 in 2025, so farβ€”as the president’s policies target many of these workers.

The hypocrisy: Trump/his officials have condemned the violent protesters in L.A., threatening harsh consequences for assaulting the police.
Yet Jan 6 was β€œa day of love”, β€œpeaceful demonstrators” when their rioters violently stormed the Capitol, assaulted officers, Trump pardoned them.

It’s called sarcasm. They claim she had the authority to deploy the national guard. Only the president can in dc. No governor.

President Pelosi didn’t deploy national guard for the violence on Jan 6 since those assaulting the police officers were trump supporters. Pelosi is deploying the national guard to quell the unrest from non-trump supporters in LA now. If Pelosi wanted the national guard on Jan 6, she would have

Proud Boys members file federal lawsuit over 'illegal' tactics in Jan. 6 prosecutions A lawsuit filed by five members of the Proud Boys alleges the U.S. government used illegal tactics to target and imprison Jan. 6 defendants after the U.S. Capitol riot.

You just know these criminals watched money go to Ashli Babbit’s family and said, β€œWe need to get in on this”. But the amazing officers who fought that day have received nothing. Party of law enforcement my ass. I support @libradunn1.bsky.social @michaelfanone.bsky.social @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social

GOP won’t install Jan. 6 plaque honoring law enforcement, Democrats say More than three years after it was approved by Congress, a plaque honoring members of law enforcement for defending the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, is instead sitting in a Capitol basement utility room.

House Speaker Johnson too cowardly to install a congressionally mandated plaque honoring law enforcement officers who defended the US Capitol on Jan. 6. β€œBack the blue?” What a disgrace.
