The insurrection marked the first time the U.S. Capitol had been breached in more than 200 years.

Court documents reviewed by The 19th begin to paint a picture of women’s roles and intentions during the insurrection.

Here’s what we found: 🧵 bit.ly/37TgDqT
The 19th’s @keaux_ reviewed more than 230 cases, and identified 28 women facing charges.

— 21 have been released while they wait for their cases to proceed
— 5 await behind bars
— 2 cases are pending bit.ly/37TgDqT
Some women spent months physically preparing for the day. Others told law enforcement they made spur-of-the-moment decisions.

Most of them documented their time at the Capitol via social media. bit.ly/37TgDqT

A federal committee has voted in favor of granting emergency authorization to Johnson & Johnson’s one-shot COVID-19 vaccine.

If authorized for emergency use by @US_FDA, it could speed up vaccine distribution and help alleviate equity concerns. bit.ly/2P5yLHt
How is Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine different than Moderna and Pfizer’s?

— It’s simpler to produce because it requires only one dose.

— Experts say it might be easier to give to people who don’t have consistent access to the health care system. bit.ly/2P5yLHt
Pending emergency authorization, the White House has said it has 3-4 million doses of Johnson & Johnson vaccines ready to send states within the next week.

Currently, states are administering a rolling average of 1.7M vaccines a day from Moderna and Pfizer’s two-shot regimens.

🧵 The House is set to vote Friday on a $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill.

It will retain many of the elements women lawmakers and advocates have been fighting for, but some provisions may face steep odds in the Senate.

Here’s what made it in and out: bit.ly/3dPayzJ
Child tax credit:

— Historic expansion of the child tax credit, up to as much as $3,600, making it available to the poorest children.

— The expansion would expire after a year. bit.ly/3dPayzJ
Child care:

— $24 billion to stabilize the child care industry

— $15 billion for the Child Care and Development Block Grant Program, which provides funding for states to subsidize child care for low-income families

— $165 billion for K-12 and higher education school reopenings

Fifteen women leaders joined @VP Kamala Harris on Thursday to lay out a plan to ensure that the administration's $1.9 trillion COVID relief package moving through Capitol Hill retains the elements that would most help women.

From @ChabeliH and @emarvelous:bit.ly/37ngBaD
The nation's first women's recession has seen about 2.5 million women leaving the labor force — many of them forced out due to caregiving needs.

Small businesses have also closed — 1 in 4 owned by women closed between February and April 2020. bit.ly/37ngBaD
And for many of the women who have kept working, they are juggling an impossible child care burden.

Half of the 400,000 jobs lost in the child care sector at the start of the pandemic have yet to return. bit.ly/37ngBaD

🧵 South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster on Thursday signed a bill into law that would ban nearly all abortions in the state.

Abortion-rights advocates say the legislation is the first major abortion restriction passed out of a statehouse in 2021. bit.ly/37mTxJ5
The law would effectively prohibit abortions as early as six weeks of pregnancy, before many people know they’re pregnant.

There are narrow exceptions including in cases of rape or incest or if the life of the pregnant person is at risk. bit.ly/37mTxJ5
Doctors who perform an abortion on a victim of rape or incest will be required to report the allegations to law enforcement, including contact information for the pregnant person. bit.ly/37mTxJ5

🧵 The story of the Capitol riots is being told again this week as the Senate holds Donald Trump's #ImpeachmentTrial.

Here is what almost two dozen lawmakers told The 19th about January 6, in their own words. bit.ly/3qjmg91
The 19th reached out to all 143 women in the 117th Congress to ask about their experiences.

Twenty-three, all Democrats, shared their points of view, many remembering new details after a month of processing. bit.ly/3qjmg91
Some lawmakers recalled texting their loved ones goodbye while in the House chamber.

Others remembered barricading themselves in offices, while several described running through the hallways toward safety, terrified that they'd be killed at every turn. bit.ly/3qjmg91
