@RepDianaDeGette and @RepCicilline touching on this and is impt to highlight:

Those who work in the Capitol who are Black & Jewish have also had to process the symbols of racism, bigotry and discrimination amid and after the attack.
Think: Holocaust denier wearing a Camp Auschwitz shirt

Confederate flags

Rioters who repeatedly attacked a black police officer with racial slurs

AP: How a leading anti-Trump group, the Lincoln Project, ignored a crisis in its ranks

"Despite the early warning, the group took no action against Weaver and pressed forward with its high-profile work."

apnews.com/article/donald…
This story is V interesting.

"For the collection of GOP consultants and former officials, being anti-Trump was becoming very good for business. Of the $90 million Lincoln Project has raised, more than $50 million has gone to firms controlled by the group’s leaders."
Says: There is no evidence "the Lincoln Project buried the allegations against Weaver for business reasons. But taken together, the harassment allegations and new revelations about spending practices raise significant questions about the management" of this big anti-Trump group

A few more thoughts on Jan 6.

It’s been a month since the evacuation from the Capitol, and I would be lying if I said it isn’t still impacting me.

It's the realization of how much worse it could've been that seems to stick.
When I catch a moment of quiet, the nightmares sometimes come. And even in the hustle bustle of the day, I think a lot about how I responded in that moment of crisis.

It is funny how your mind can both be in denial and accepting of reality.
‘I can’t get hurt, I’m a reporter. This isn’t about me.’ Then why is my body so clearly aware it’s in danger as tear gas was deployed and then there was the sound of a gun shot fired off nearby. Why did I keep my backpack w/ me in case I needed a physical barrier?

🚨 FIRST House Republican is a Yes on Impeachment: John Rep. Katko (R-N.Y.)

syracuse.com/politics/2021/…
“To allow the president of the United States to incite this attack without consequence is a direct threat to the future of our democracy,” Katko said in a statement.

“For that reason, I cannot sit by without taking action. I will vote to impeach this president."
While other House R's have entertained the idea, my colleague and I are hearing possibly 10 or so, Katko is the first to say he is in -- not that he is seriously considering it.
