'He tried to wrap his mind around the idea of another four years of Trump, and around the incongruity of a so-called law-and-order president, hours into his second term, pardoning people who had attacked cops with weapons that included knives, Tasers, bear spray, pepper spray, lumber, bicycle racks, a cattle prod, a sledgehammer, a ladder, a flagpole, a baseball bat, a hockey stick, and a fire extinguisher.'

Many of the convicted rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, are clamoring for payouts from the nearly $1.8 billion settlement that the Trump administration has set up for people claiming to be victims of a weaponized government. Whether they'll be eligible for any money remains an open question. The political and legal backlash to the administration's move hasn't dimmed the celebratory response from Capitol rioters. Some are staking claims to the money even though the government hasn’t established an application process yet and a judge has frozen the fund’s formation, at least temporarily.
Donald Trump Gets Even

The article is an opinion piece criticizing a proposed federal compensation fund connected to individuals prosecuted for their involvement in the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack. The author argues that the fund, reportedly backed by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and associated with former President Donald Trump, represents a misuse of taxpayer money and an attempt to rewrite public understanding of the Capitol riot. According to the piece, Metropolitan Police officer Daniel Hodges and former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn have filed a lawsuit seeking to block the creation of the fund, describing it as an unprecedented act of political corruption. The article revisits the events of January 6 in detail, emphasizing the violence directed at law enforcement officers defending the Capitol while Congress certified the 2020 presidential election results. It recounts how rioters breached police barricades, assaulted officers with weapons and chemicals, damaged government property, and threatened elected officials, including Vice President Mike Pence. The author highlights injuries suffered by officers, including concussions, broken bones, and traumatic brain injuries, while also noting that several officers later died by suicide. The opinion piece argues that compensating participants in the riot would reward political violence and encourage extremist groups. Hodges and Dunn reportedly fear the fund could empower organizations such as the Proud Boys while signaling that future politically motivated violence may go unpunished. The author also claims the proposal is linked to broader political efforts to minimize or reinterpret the events of January 6 ahead of future elections. Throughout the article, the writer uses highly critical language toward Trump and his supporters, portraying the compensation proposal as dangerous, unethical, and politically motivated.
