“Five years after the events of January 6, 2021, we are learning what it means to have a president who has demonstrated his determination to overthrow our democracy and who does not have to answer to the law.” 😕

January 5, 2026 (Monday)

Five years ago, on January 6, 2021, more than 2,000 rioters stormed the U.S.

Letters from an American

And so it begins: “Yesterday, Representative Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) released an ‘Interim Report on the Failures and Politicization of the January 6th Select Committee.’ As the title suggests, the report seeks to rewrite what happened on January 6, 2021, when rioters encouraged by former president Donald Trump attacked the U.S. Capitol.”

Yesterday, Representative Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) released an “Interim Report on the Failures and Politicization of the January 6th Select Committee.” As the title suggests, the report seeks to rewrite what happened on January 6, 2021, when rioters encouraged by former president Donald Trump attacked the U.S.

🤦🏻‍♂️

“The president-elect has apparently included one January 6 rioter—Pete Marocco—in his transition team, Politico reported Monday. Marocco, a conservative activist, does come with extensive Trumpworld experience: He wore several hats during Trump’s last administration and had stints at the Defense, State, and Commerce departments, as well as USAID.” 🙄🤬

Note how no one at any point has denied Colorado's finding of fact that Trump is, in fact, an insurrectionist. That he is responsible for the insurrection attempt on January 6th and is therefore legally considered a traitor to the United States. No, the only thing they argue is that it doesn't matter and he can't be taken off the ballot or prohibited from serving under the Fourteenth Amendment because...reasons.

Trump’s apologists say it doesn’t matter if he’s guilty of insurrection. That’s not true

Conservatives who used to rail against rulings that freed criminal suspects on technicalities now say the question of Trump’s guilt doesn’t affect whether he can be president

The Guardian

#SCOTUS took the unusual step Sunday of scheduling an opinion announcement for a day when it is not in session. The justices typically issue rulings from the bench, w/the author of the majority opinion presenting a summary of the court’s decision. Instead, the court said opinions could be posted on its website Mon at 10AM.

Hey #SCOTUS:

#Justice delayed, is justice denied.
- William Ewart Gladstone

Most famously paraphrased by MLK Jr in his Letter from Birmingham Jail as:

Justice too long delayed, is justice denied.
