FBI busts ‘Boogaloo Bois’ in Ohio and Michigan on weapons charges amid flood of threats, violence

The Michigan man, Timothy Teagan, 24, of Plymouth, was taken into custody after local police came to his family home the week before in response to a domestic-violence call. Taegan reportedly bit his father in the head and punched him multiple times, and when police arrived and arrested him, the father told them his son had guns in his room. 

The FBI arrived a couple of days later. When they searched Teagan's home, they found an AR-15 and multiple rounds of ammunition…

GOP senator pressured to ‘come clean’ on post-election scheme

… the GOP senator engaged in an indefensible plot against his own country's democracy. Thanks to text messages exposed by a CNN report last week, we now know that Lee partnered with Donald Trump's team to explore ways to reject American voters' verdict: The Utahan invested time and energy into a fake-electors scheme; he touted the work of radical lawyer John Eastman; he personally tried to plot with state legislators; and he practically volunteered to be a puppet for the White House, pleading for a script from which to read.…

Republicans Sticking With Debunked Capitol Riot Conspiracy Theory | HuffPost Latest News

…And despite Cruz's reference to the "Biden Department of Justice," it was, in fact, the Trump administration that was in power last January. There's also a very reasonable explanation for why Epps hasn't been charged: There's no evidence he entered the Capitol, and no evidence he did any of the things outside of the Capitol that have triggered charges for other Jan. 6 participants, like assault law enforcement officers or destroy media equipment…

On Jan. 6 anniversary, Biden denounces Trump as threatening democracy in the U.S. and abroad. - The Washington Post

"It's either a step on the way to the abyss," historian Jon Meacham, a friend and informal adviser to Biden, said at the congressional discussion, which was attended by Schumer and Pelosi.

Takeaways from Biden’s Jan. 6 speech - The Washington Post

Here's Biden:
"Just think about this: The former president and his supporters have never been able to explain how they accept as accurate the other election results that took place on Nov. 3 — the elections for governor, United States Senate, House of Representatives — elections in which they closed the gap in the House. They challenged none of that. … Somehow those results were accurate on the same ballot, but the presidential race was flawed. On the same ballot, the same day, cast the same day by the same voters? The only difference: The former president didn't lose those races; he just lost the one that was his own."…
