As the dust, and tear gas, settles after a mob of violent insurrectionists laid siege to the United States Capitol, many questions remain outstanding. Why were the Capitol Police so outmanned? Who exactly was behind the order to finally send in the National Guard to help quell the uprising? Who were the individuals who led the charge — other than Trump himself — and how will they be held to account?
We’ll be piecing together more information throughout the day. Follow the TPM staff’s coverage below:

Let’s hope reinstating something like the Fairness Doctrine is high on the Biden agenda. It’s as important as anything else he’s facing - perhaps more important. I know the genie is out of the bottle, but we have to try.
You cannot expect someone who screws Sean Hannity for fun, to understand how outrageous her statement is. Trump forgiving Pence for not committing a crime on his behalf.
I suspect many of the crazies are still in DC. The police have pictures, and probably have a lot of names by now. They should be all about rounding them up in their hotels. I think no knock warrants should be appropriate.
