The Melania movie drops as ICE kills two people in Minnesota. This isn’t just a Marie Antoinette moment—it’s Let them eat cake, filmed, scored, and released nationwide.

Jan. 6 Then & Now: The Insurrection Blueprint (with Tom Joscelyn) Podcast Episode · The Oath and The Office · 01/29/2026 · 1h 15m

Jan 6 wasn’t just a riot—it was a blueprint.
Today’s Oath & The Office lays out how the Pence pressure campaign and false-electors plot still shape what’s happening now. This was one of our most important episodes.

Musk sends the “fork in the road” email—and starts insulting the people doing the work. If you’re inside DOJ: stay and fight, or resign and warn the public?

Minnesota vs. ICE is becoming a constitutional flashpoint. If a federal agent kills a civilian, can a state prosecute—even if the feds try to block it? @johnfugelsang.bsky.social and I break down the legal shields, the limits, and what accountability can look like.
