Good morning America. Two years ago at this time, crowds in DC were streaming in towards the Ellipse, though gates were not open yet for Trump's rally. Ali Alexander was up since 4 AM. Courtney Holland, Scott Presler, & Rose Tennent of Stop the Steal laughed as they walked in. 1/
By 8:39 AM the National Mall was starting to fill up. The atmosphere was cheerful, almost a party. Most of the non-VIP crowd saw no point in going through security to sit in the seats; they gathered on the Mall instead and watched the overflow screens. 2/ 
After last-minute drama, the first speaker hits the stage 9:06 AM: "I'm Congressman Mo Brooks..and I've got a message that I need you to take to the Capitol." "Today is the day American patriots start taking names and kicking ass." You can watch. 3/

Some #SeditionHunters reassurances: 1) the effort can go on even if Twitter fails 2) a report on the physical Jan 6 attack will be written even if the J6C doesn't.

Release of security cam has let us build syncs over 3 hours long on both East and West sides of the Capitol. The channel also has some short highlighted clips showing the 'little signals' that mark the breaches. 3/
Some key points as we head into J6 hearings. The Capitol attack was 1) coordinated, 2) meant to be fast, and 3) derailed by a rapid police response that produced key delays. Watch here as democracy is saved by DC bike cops: momentum shifts after the first terrifying minutes. 1/
To make sense of the 5-hour attack on Jan 6, we’ve broken it into 8 phases. These diagrams can help understand. Here’s the first hour: the rush in (L), & then (R) the faceoff on the W. Plaza that bought precious time. 2/
The delay was followed by a frenzy of action - coordinated movements around the Capitol to breach doors on both sides, flood the interior. They got through 5 exterior doors & the Senate, were blocked at 2 & the House in violent fights. It almost worked - but it was too late. 3/
