FULL AMANDA GORMAN POEM:

“We will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one ... There is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.”

The 22-year-old is the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history: nbcnews.to/3isX8JY

Homicides rose sharply across the country, in cities big and small, in 2020.

For Akron, Ohio, the bloodshed took a particularly painful toll when six children under the age of 16 were killed over a four-month stretch. nbcnews.to/3hZ6LzC (1/10) #NBCNewsThreads
Violent crime isn’t new for this industrial city, but far more children lost their lives to gun violence in 2020 than in years past, police officials say.

Of the 6 killed over those 4 months, all but one died from gunfire. (2/10)
The killings have shaken the city, sparking a series of anti-violence demonstrations.

While it's difficult to pinpoint why homicides surged across the US last year, criminologists and other experts say impacts from the coronavirus pandemic are likely contributing factors. (3/10)

Congressional reporter @haleytalbotnbc writes about her day inside the House chamber as the US Capitol was overrun by an angry mob.

"I kept thinking that ... we weren’t under any real threat. And then the glass shattered."

nbcnews.com/politics/congr… (1/13)
@haleytalbotnbc "When I walked into the chamber a few minutes before 2:00 p.m., I felt so prepared. Our team had all been reading in and studying the dynamics of the unique event for weeks, ever since we realized what a saga the largely procedural process was going to be." (2/13)
@haleytalbotnbc "I think we were all getting texts and tweet notifications about what was transpiring on the steps just outside the building.
And yet, I felt so safe. I kept thinking I was in the safest place possible." (3/13)

BREAKING: President Trump: "A new administration will be inaugurated on Jan. 20. My focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly and seamless transition of power. This moment calls for healing and reconciliation."
President Trump says he is "outraged" by "heinous attack" on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters, saying they "defiled the seat of American democracy;" tells them that "you do not represent our country" and "you will pay."
In video tonight, Pres. Trump says he "immediately" deployed the National Guard.

He had to be convinced to deploy the Guard, a person familiar with the matter says.

VP Pence was in contact with the Pentagon, and “encouraged a much more rapid deployment than what was occurring.”
