The texts between Tyler Robinson and his roommate are obviously fake.

Two biggest red flags imo:

1. Capital letters. The Discord chats @kenklippenstein.bsky.social leaked shows Tyler uses them infrequently. It’s a Gen Z thing apparently.

2. Getting the furry meme wrong, “uwu” instead of “OwO”.

Tyler Robinson texts released in charging document.

The Trump Administration’s Defense Department has deleted the Medal of Honor Monday page for Major General Charles C. Rogers.

Then-Lt. Col. Rogers recieved the MOH from President Nixon in 1970 for his service in Vietnam.

He was also black. The URL for his page has had the term DEI added to it.

Fell in to a small rabbit hole last night after Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins said the VA was spending millions on “Executive Support”.

In Short: A business owned by a former US Marine won a contract over 8 competitors for $360K/yr to provide a wide range of services for a VA office.

Research showing Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins lied when he said the VA was spending millions on “Executive Support”.

Saved a screenshot of a DOGE.Gov page just now.

Elon Musk’s band of 20-year-olds are embarrassingly incompetent.
