Fascinating read on a former marine and NYPD officer who got radicalised by Trump into assaulting a police officer during the January 6th insurrection attempt.

Spoiler alert: he's still radicalised.

Some January 6 insurrectionists have received tax payer funded restitution for legal expenses after trump pardoned them for their crimes.
House bill would stop future payments.

Maybe Trump can't rig the #midterms. But he, and those who still stand with him, can simply deny reality, as he does constantly — as he did on that #Jan6th. Say they won, and act accordingly, even when they (and everyone else) know they lost. Say the election was stolen from them, even as they attempt to steal it from us.

No matter how electorally-minded you are, you need to ask yourself: what will you do then? When and if the regime wipes away all hope of making real change at the ballot box? Because even with Trump's current level of unpopularity, that could still happen.
