Expect to hear a lot about this tweet during today’s January 6th Committee hearing. As Politico notes, “House investigators aim to show that the former president’s most extreme supporters were intently listening — and quickly began preparing for potential violence in support of Trump’s goal to stay in power.’

Happy Tuesday. Brace yourself for a jammed-packed Morning Shots and the frequent use of the phrase “immensely important read.”

In today’s newsletter:

  • January 6th was prelude

  • Sergeant Gonell’s plea

  • Steve Bannon’s ghastly day

  • The latest J6 poll: moving the needle?

  • Trump’s “Hub and Spoke” conspiracy

  • Herschel Walker’s Non-Gaffe

  • Rusty Bowers clarifies

  • What made my day

  • The “root causes” of mass shootings?


A warning on political violence

Your first immensely important read of the day is Rachel Kleinfeld in Just Security: “The January 6 Select Committee hearings have been framed as an effort aimed at accountability and posterity” she writes. “But their findings are at least as important to the future.”
