NOW: @JoeBiden on riots — "Yesterday, in my view, one of the darkest days in the history of our nation. An unprecedented assault on our democracy...an assault on the rule of law and assault on the most sacred of American undertakings..."
"Don't dare call them protesterss, they were...insurrectionist domestic terrorists...We could see it coming, the past four years we've had a president who's made his contempt for our democracy. Our Constitution, the rule of law, clear in everything he has done."
Every network except for the usual suspects (OAN/Newsmax) is carrying @JoeBiden as he delivers a very harsh denunciation of @realDonaldTrump.
Biden praises judges' handling of Trump election cases: "When history looks back in this moment...I believe it will say our democracy survived and in no small part, because of the the men and women who represent an independent judiciary in this nation."
OAN and Newsmax still pretending @JoeBiden doesn't exist.
Biden recounting how @TheJusticeDept was founded to enforce the reconstruction amendments and protect civil rights: "This original spirit must again guide and animate its work."
"More than anything, we need to restore the honor, the integrity, and the independence of the Department of Justice in this nation," @JoeBiden says.
Fox and Fox Business have cut away from @JoeBiden

HEADS UP: @PressSec briefing (seriously) at 5:15, per pooler @brittanys
Two minutes or less to go.
NOW: @PressSec delivers "message on behalf of the entire White House" — "The violence we saw yesterday at our nation's capitol was appalling reprehensible and antithetical to the American way. We condemn it the President and this administration and the strongest possible terms."

So @RudyGiuliani is on his radio show repeating debunked nonsense about how it was really "antifa" who heeded @realDonaldTrump's call to storm the Capitol.

"This was a setup," he says, before going on to complain about Democrats and #BlackLivesMatter protests.
"This these rioters didn't get all incited by President Trump or by Donald Jr or by me, or by Professor Eastman or anyone else, because they came to the scene they came to the show with the implements to break in...They came there with bats they came there with hammers," he says
"And when you watch him scaling the wall. It looks like a scene out of, oh Game of Thrones or something. These are well trained people," @RudyGiuliani says, blaming the Capitol Police rather than the pro-Trump rioters.

Trump campaign or whoever is running this rally must not have got the cease and desist from John Fogerty usatoday.com/story/entertai…
Also the only proper helicopter entrance music is "Ride of the Valkyries" from Act 3 of "Die Walküre"
Trump's entrance at what will probably be his last political rally as president is decidedly low-energy, from the smaller Marine One (a VH-60N) to the overall staging.

Biden promises "masking requirements, a new strategy for testing," and "accelerated production of protective gear" starting on his administration's first day in office.
"The truth is this — the Trump administration failed to prioritize cybersecurity," @JoeBiden says, speaking about the alleged Russian attack on US networks.
"We can't let this go unanswered," Biden says. "That means making clear and publicly, who is responsible for the attack, and taking meaningful steps to hold them in account."

He adds that AG Barr and others have said it was Russia.

NEW: With a month before @JoeBiden's inauguration, @realDonaldTrump is largely idle but increasingly out of touch with reality in a way that is causing even those loyalists to be alarmed over what could transpire during the month left in his presidency. independent.co.uk/voices/trump-s…
"It's sad and pathetic," one Trump confidant said of the way his obsession with remaining in office has caused him to seek succor in utter crackpots and conspiracy theorists. “You’d be surprised who the ‘adults in the room’ are these days,” they added. independent.co.uk/voices/trump-s…
“He’s not really interested in anything that happens anymore...he’s plotting and scheming to remain in a job that he’s more or less given up because he doesn’t want to go back to being a regular rich guy who'll still be one of the most famous men on Earth.”independent.co.uk/voices/trump-s…
