Texas man Nicholas Ray, 28, was arrested for allegedly posting online death threats against conservative public figures like Seth Dillon, Josh Hammer, and Laura Loomer. Nicholas faces charges of extortion, written threats, and illegal use of a communication device. Despite his attempts at anonymity, investigators say they linked the posts to Ray using data from X, AT&T, and Charter. The arrest follows a string of anti-conservative threats in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, including a California man who was charged for sending a violent letter to host Benny Johnson. Apollo Pappas also discusses the case of Tina Peters, a former Colorado clerk who was sentenced to 8.5 years and after allegations of “tampering” with voting machines in 2021. Her supporters say she’s a political prisoner punished for whistleblowing on Dominion’s systems. Jeremy Hambly is best known as The Quartering, a political and pop culture commentator.
