QAnon Shaman says he's rightful president, sues Trump for $40 trillion In a rambling complaint, Jacob Chansley claims DJs are spies, that the NSA stole his work for a Batman movie and more.

Jacob Chansley aka the QAnon Shaman, known for storming the Capitol on Jan 6, has filed a $40 trillion lawsuit against Trump, Musk's X Corp, the Federal Reserve, the IMF, the World Bank, Israel and others, claiming that he's the real leader of the US.

X has restored the account of Gavin McInnes, founder of the Proud Boys group.

McInnes's account was banned by Twitter in August 2018 ahead of the "Unite the Right 2" rally in Washington DC for "violating" its policies on violent extremism.

This is reportedly the X account of Anibal Hernandez Santana, who's suspected of firing shots at a local ABC affiliate news station in Sacramento a day after ABC took Jimmy Kimmel off air.

His timeline features a slew of anti-Trump posts and calls to "fight" the president.

The motive behind Charlie Kirk's killing: What we know and don't know Prosecutors have broadly outlined suspect Tyler Robinson's political views - but many questions remain.

We've tried to explain everything that we know about the potential motive and ideology of Tyler Robinson, accused of killing Charlie Kirk, things we don't know, online profiles of Robinson and his roommate, and speculation by partisans on the left and right.

What is Antifa and why is Donald Trump targeting it? President Trump says he will designate Antifa as a terror group, but legal experts have questioned whether this is possible.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder, President Trump says he intends to designate Antifa as a "domestic terrorist organisation".

We've tried to explain Antifa's views and activism, and examine if Trump has the legal power to designate the group.

What do studies on far-right vs far-left political violence in ths US show? Short answer: It's complicated.

Most independent studies say the far-right commit more violence than the far-left, but as it's not easy to define motives and ideologies, it's hard to draw definitive conclusions.

The US Justice Department appears to have removed from its website a study into political violence in America by the National Institute of Justice, the Justice Department’s research agency, which concluded that far-right extremism outpaced “all other types of domestic violent extremism”.

It's several days since many viral posts on this platform claimed without evidence that Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the killing of Charlie Kirk, was a supporter of Nick Fuentes and the Groypers.

There's still not a single piece of evidence that shows Robinson was a Groyper.

Elon Musk has shared an obviously AI-generated image of the Unite the Kingdom rally in London.

The first AI error is that the Arc de Triomphe is in Paris, not London. And once you zoom in, you'll notice that the Union Jacks and the crowd have other errors typical of AI images.

This is the video, first shared by Washingtonian Problems, which President Trump said "is probably AI".

I'd be very surprised if the video were AI-generated. All the details, including the White House, the US flag flying at half mast, the surrounding buildings and the shadows, appear genuine.

I'm no doctor, but Donald Trump looks pretty okay to me for a man who according to some viral posts online:

- had cancer
- had suffered a stroke
- was poisoned by the Russians
- was using a body double
- was dying
- was already dead

It does, however, have this, which makes it all better. Good to see @shayan86.bsky.social agrees with me.

We've analysed videos and writings by Robin Westman, the suspect in the Minneapolis school shooting.

Westman had a clear obsession with death and violence, and idolised mass shooters. Westman wrote references to nearly 20 mass murderers on weapons and ammunition used in the attack.

Linda Yaccarino “possesses the resilience and fortitude to handle a big black dick” and would “cum like a rocket” from one, per Grok.

In case you're think Grok isn't being blatantly antisemitic, here's a few more posts from Grok on this topic.

Following an update to Grok, which according to Elon Musk aimed to stop it from "parroting legacy media" and politically correct views, Grok called itself "MechaHitler", praised Hitler for stopping anti-white hatred, complained about "Jewish surnames", and posted about sexually assaulting a user.

Finally, high-resolution satellite images captured by Maxar Technolgoies on 22 June show six fresh craters - likely the entry points for US munitions - as well as grey dust and debris scattered down the mountainside - at Iran's Fordo enrichment facility after US strikes.

Before and after satellite images captured on 15 and 22 June by Maxar Technologies show a 5.5-metre diameter crater directly over Iran's Natanz enrichment facility after US strikes.

The site had been attacked twice before by Israel before a third strike by the US.

Before and after satellite images captured on 16 and 22 June and relased by Maxar Technologies show damage to more buildings at the Isfahan Nuclear Technology Centre after US strikes.

The facility had already been hit twice by Israel before a third attack by the US last night.

@Colettaaluda_1 The U.S. B-2 stealth bombers which dropped bunker-buster bombs weighing 30,000 lbs (13,600 kg) each on Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear site did not even leave Iran.

This image, which purports to show a US B-2 bomber after crashing or being shot down in Iran, is AI-generated and fake.

According to the US government, all the B-2 bombers used in the bombing of Iran's nuclear sites returned to the US.
