Styx reports on Ryan Michael English, a Massachusetts man who identifies as a woman, arrested for allegedly planning to assassinate members of Trump's cabinet, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and House Speaker Mike Johnson. English was found carrying firebombs and a knife and reportedly cited inspiration from Luigi Mangione, a convicted killer. Styx criticizes the mainstream media for largely ignoring the story, contrasting it with their extensive coverage of January 6 and right-wing incidents. He argues that left-wing violence is routinely downplayed and dismissed, calling attention to past attacks, including assassination attempts on Trump, that were quickly memory-holed by the media.
