The Capitol Insurrection: One Year Later

President Joe Biden spoke from statuary hall.

‘I will defend this nation.’ Biden denounces Trump’s ‘web of lies’ as he remembers Jan. 6 insurrection

President Biden’s criticism was blistering of the “defeated president” who he blamed for the attack that has fundamentally changed Congress and raised concerns about the future of American democracy.

Baker says Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection will ‘stain this nation’s history forever’

Governor Charlie Baker on Thursday marked with one-year anniversary of the Capitol insurrection by denouncing the attempts by former president Donald Trump and Republican members of Congress to subvert the country’s elections process.

Jan. 6 arrests included 11 from New England. A look at who they are

Eleven people were arrested in New England by Boston FBI agents in the aftermath of the US Capitol riots. The local 11 — 10 men and one woman — came from Providence and Portland, Somerville and Springfield.

A year later, what happened to some of the insurrectionists who took part in the Capitol attack?

Opinion & Analysis

In this image from video, Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, criticized rioters last Jan. 6 after the Senate reconvened on that night.

A fleeting attack of conscience

The GOP could have turned away from the insurrection that brought our democracy to its knees. Instead, they embraced it.

Analysis

The Sept. 11 era has ended. The Jan. 6 era has just begun

As the nation reflects on Jan. 6, 2021, there will be some political actors doing political things. But the larger point for those who cherish American democracy remains: never forget.

Opinion

Philadelphia City Commissioner Al Schmidt, in Board Game Art Park across from Philadelphia City Hall, was one of few members of the GOP to publicly disavow the lie that President Donald Trump won the last election. As a result, Schmidt has been attacked and targeted by the base of the party such that he had to move his children away from home with a constant security detail.

Threats against election officials must be stopped

It’s time for Congress to make intimidation and harassment of election officials a federal crime.

Senate minority leader Mitch McConnel's long game may be to delegitimize Trump, via the findings of the Jan. 6 committee, to the point where the former president can retain his base of loyalists but not expand it enough to run again for president in 2024.

Q&A: You know we’re at war, right?

Former president Donald Trump, along with his enablers in the White House, Congress, and beyond, tried to subvert democracy in order to stay in power. There must be a reckoning for them as perpetrators of the lie that instigated the Jan. 6 insurrection.
