Probably a paywall, but must be under the limit so I’ll paste some. Hope the commentary isn’t too annoying.

It was Bennie not Bonnie
The new defendants, including Sandra Parker, 60 years old, and Bennie Parker, 70, of Ohio, were part of a tactical formation called a “stack,” the indictment said. A previous complaint described it as a maneuver used by the infantry in which members keep “their hands on the backs or vests of the person in front of them to remain together while entering a room or weaving through a crowd.” The group continued to use that formation inside the Capitol, according to photos included in the complaint.
MAGATs gone wild
Kelly Meggs, one of the new defendants, wrote in a Facebook message in late December to another individual, “Trump said It’s gonna be wild!!!!!!! It’s gonna be wild!!!!!!! He wants us to make it WILD that’s what he’s saying. He called us all to the Capitol and wants us to make it wild!!! SirYesSir!!! Gentlemen we are heading to DC pack your shit!!”
But I’m a veteran didn’t work
At a detention hearing held on conference call earlier this month, Mr. Caldwell pleaded to be released because he was a disabled veteran. “Your honor, my life hangs in the balance,” Mr. Caldwell said. Magistrate Judge Amit P. Mehta replied, “I understand, but you need to understand your actions.”
Judge Mehta was concerned about text messages about weapons stashed across the potomac. His lawyer has his job cut out for him.
Mr. Caldwell said of the text messages, “These are taken out of context.” Mr. Caldwell’s attorney implored his client not to speak during the hearing, and he had no further comments.
