As violence against police escalated on the west front of the Capitol, some of the rioters appeared to take pleasure and even laugh.

There's a persistent myth that the cops "let people in."
It's nonsense.
There's extensive evidence that rioters knew they were breaking the law.
Here's one of the rioters making a call, knowing that she might need to be bailed out of jail.

And then there's this video, of officers talking with each other about what they just witnessed.
"We didn't have a chance," one officer said. "[Trump] was still giving his speech, and I just had to leave, because he's basically just telling people to come down here and rip this place down."

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

This is an illegal intervention in a country that poses no threat to the United States. Trump is trying to distract from the fact that he tanked our economy and kicked millions off their health care. Congressional Republicans need to rein Trump in before he gets American troops killed.

Starting today, around 22 million Americans enrolled in Obamacare will see their tax credits run out.

Certain people — including residents of many states that voted for Trump — will be more exposed to a subsidy lapse.

ACA subsidies are expiring. Here’s who the lapse will hit hardest
Early retirees, mid-income consumers, small business owners and residents of states won by President Trump are among those who'd be affected most.

Looking through the Epstein files on the DOJ website, it is extremely clear that when DOJ admitted that it redacted information related to political figures and government officials that they meant MAGA Republicans. Names of Democrats and even anti-Trump Republicans are left in.
