9 of this year’s #attacks led to #power disruptions, the #DOE records indicate.
The U.S. is on pace to meet or exceed last year’s record of 164 major #cyber & #physical #attacks.
Additional analyses imply that the true number of incidents for both 2022 & 2023 is probably even higher. POLITICO’s analysis found several incidents that #utilities had reported to #homeland #security officials but did not show up in DOE data.

#TuckerCarlson spoke in Macomb County, a county that flipped to #Trump in 2016, remained w/him in 2020 & likely will play a role in 2024 presidential politics. Carlson advised the crowd to organize & to “speak w/total *honesty*, clarity & #aggression.”
He also falsely stated that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged,” which drew enthusiastic applause from the crowd.

May Enrique Tarrio's prison cell be hell on earth. Let the toilet back up every night. Let the food smell worse.

A new statement from the #Trump campaign accuses #FaniWillis, the #FultonCounty district attorney, of being a “rabid partisan” & says her election interference investigation is based on “fabricated accusations.” The campaign tied the investigation to the Biden administration, despite the fact that it came from a state prosecutor.

#JesseWatters then predicted that a newly reelected #Trump would "have to" quickly #imprison politicians who stand against him "& their families."
"This is only the beginning of politicians putting other #politicians & their #families in #prison. Sad that we had to go down this road. But this is where we are, & we have to finish it."

“After these political war #crimes have been perpetrated on him, Donald #Trump is in the best position he's been so far to win reelection…. At which point, he'll have to #pardon himself immediately. And don't you think for a second he's not going to #UnleashHell on all of his #PoliticalEnemies."

In Jan 2022…, #Willis, the first Black woman elected as #FultonCounty DA, sent a letter to…the #FBI’s #Atlanta field office requesting a risk assessment of the courthouse, citing “alarming” rhetoric from #Trump. …Willis pointed to remarks #Trump had made…where he attacked unnamed prosecutors investigating him in cities including Atlanta as “#racist” and “mentally sick.” Willis also cited “communications” she & her staff had received from “persons unhappy” w/the investigation.
#willis #fultoncounty #fbi #atlanta #trump #racist #politicalviolence
The county courthouse has already been subject to enhanced #security because of ongoing #threats to #Willis & her staff — including #racist, threatening phone calls related to the election investigation…. It’s an issue that Willis, who is often accompanied by armed bodyguards during public appearances, has raised both privately & publicly.
