The man who killed himself by blowing up a #Tesla #Cybertruck outside #Trump's #LasVegas hotel was a hardcore #MAGA devotee and #ElonMusk stan.

He left notes calling for the military and others to "move on DC ... Occupy the campus of fed buildings by the hundreds of thousands ... Hold until the purge is complete ... Try peaceful means, but be prepared to fight to get the Dems out of the fed government and military by any means necessary"

Jan. 6 Defendant Charged With Plotting to Kill Agents Who Investigated Him

The plot, which also included attacking an F.B.I. office in Tennessee, was foiled by a witness who aided the authorities and recorded the defendant and a co-conspirator, court papers say.

Key findings:

- #DOMTERR is on the rise with significant increases since 2015

- White supremacist extremists are the primary threat

- Social media plays a large role in DOMTERR planning/organizing

- Neither DHS nor FBI have met federally mandated requirements for tracking and reporting DOMTERR events, hampering efforts to combat these attacks

- Social media platforms love to brag about how much extremist content they remove, without answering *why* so much can be posted in the first place!
