Thadius Wind of Eddington, Maine, was arrested on Tuesday and charged by criminal complaint after making threatening online posts about Jews, politicians, judges and others, the Justice Department announced.

Wind was charged with transmitting an interstate threat after an FBI investigation found he made numerous posts across social media that “contained threats to Jews, political figures, the Supreme Court and others.”

Meta, Facebook’s parent company, sent information to the FBI in 2024 about a Facebook user who had discussed committing violence against police and military personnel.

The FBI also received numerous online tips about threatening statements made on X, formerly Twitter. After further investigation, the bureau obtained and executed a search warrant relating to the account in November 2024 and traced it back to Wind.

Lior Chorev, a veteran strategist recently added to the former prime minister’s campaign team, once wrote on X that “Trump’s Truth is like Iran’s democracy.”
The IDF degrades Iranian missile stockpiles and targets nuclear research facilities while the Israeli home front faces persistent yet reduced attacks.
“Public funds aren’t props,” said Mark Goldfeder, of the National Jewish Advocacy Center.
“We’re not going to solve the world’s problems with this hearing,” the judge said, after interrupting the plaintiff, who praised the Hamas terror organization.
The man posted an expletive-laden Instagram video saying that the U.S. president “should be executed.”
