I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day.

Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me.

🧵

Don’t look away

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"

Week 1: Are you still talking about Epstein?

Week 2: I know it’s a hoax. It’s started by Democrats.

Week 3: They should focus on… Larry Summers and Bill Clinton

He's hoping people don't do the research. Too bad we aren't fooled. H/T @meiselasb.bsky.social

Even SCOTT JENNINGS is speechless when he hears what the “Big Beautiful Bill” does to Kentucky:

– National park funding slashed
– 35 hospitals at risk
– 200,000 lose Medicaid
– Energy bills up 10%

There’s just no defending it.

Trump's America: little guy screwed, big guy cashes in:

- No $7,500 for your car, oil/pharma subsidies remain
- Hoops for healthcare, billionaires get tax breaks
- Housing funds slashed, developers get tax write-offs
- Audits cut for them, not you

A crock — & a rigged system.

This is a President who governs through fear.

The fact that so many Republicans are still holding out — despite Trump's threats — shows just how unpopular, inhumane, and un-American this bill really is.

“Jose Padilla.”
“Where are you REALLY from?”
“NYC isn’t an American city anymore.”

MAGA’s dog whistles are meant to divide. But our diversity — regardless of when you came — is our superpower.

We won’t let those spewing un-American hate redefine what it means to be American.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

It took under 100 days for "I'll lower prices on day one" to become "who needs money or a 401k when your heart is full of love for Dear Leader Trump"

If a woman had 13 kids by four different men, used ketamine and spent all her time running a shadow presidency, I’m not sure our society would celebrate her.

"With this executive order, we officially declare that anything that goes wrong while we're in office is the fault of Biden and Black people."

"Well, it must've been a minority's fault" is just pure uncut racism.

Not the banner you want seeing over this article from … checks notes … 8 days ago

the first fatal commercial plane crash in 16 years happened just days after Trump froze hiring of air traffic controllers that were already stretched thin
