In his first day in office, President Trump pardoned nearly 1,600 people in the Jan. 6th Capitol riot. Five years later, most of the officers injured that day have never widely shared their experience.

Here are some of their stories, in their own words:

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

The Van Gogh ‘Poets and Lovers’ exhibition at the National Gallery comes recommended, if you can get tickets. The Curators of the National Gallery need a pat on the back, as they’ve done a remarkable job of getting some of these pictures from private collections and large galleries.
