The Other Jan. 6 Tapes: Newly Obtained Videos Show Trauma Of Attack For House Democrats

Jan6 tapes

One House member texted his wife what he feared was a final goodbye. One recalled the look of pure hatred in the attackers’ eyes. Another would never forget the whine of a hundred gas masks, all operating at once.

For some House Democrats who were in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and experienced the insurrection from a unique vantage point — being the target of the attack — those were the memories that stood out shortly afterward.

Prior to Jan. 6, the U.S. Capitol had not been sacked since the War of 1812. But on that day, a pro-Donald Trump mob, many of whom marched to the Capitol directly from his speech urging them to “fight like hell,” clashed with police, broke into the building, and chased lawmakers and then-Vice President Mike Pence into hiding. The riot lasted for hours, with the mob arriving at the Capitol shortly before 1 p.m. and police clearing the building around 6 p.m. Five people died.

Bernie Sanders calls on Congress to block funding to Israel

Bernie Sanders

Bernie Sanders, the progressive senator of Vermont, issued a statement Tuesday calling on Congress to block additional funding to Israel amid the war in Gaza, where more than 22,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks after Hamas killed 1,200 people in Israel on 7 October.

“While we recognize that Hamas’ barbaric terrorist attack began this war, we must also recognize that Israel’s military response has been grossly disproportionate, immoral and in violation of international law,” Sanders said.

“Enough is enough. Congress must reject that funding. The taxpayers of the United States must no longer be complicit in destroying the lives of innocent men, women, and children in Gaza.

Fetterman says social media made his depression worse

Sen. John Fettermaan

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said being on social media worsened his mental health as he battled with clinical depression last year.

Fetterman said in an interview that aired Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that social media was the “accelerant” that made his depression worse. He said he “made the mistake” of checking social media after the election in 2022, which raised questions on how being in Congress will change his and his family’s lives.

“And it wasn’t the things said, because I assume that those were, but it was the volume. The volume. Just the like, ‘Where is this coming from? Where can there be so much of this?’ And it’s like, ‘Is this what be the rest of my life?’ It’s like, ‘Look what it’s done to me.’ And, more importantly, ‘What has this done to my family?'” he told NBC’s Kristen Welker.

Ken Buck blasts his party’s hardliners for ‘lying to America’

Rep. Ken BuckRepublican Rep. Ken Buck laid into his own party Sunday, blasting those who continue to propagate the lie that the 2020 election was stolen for “lying to America.”

“Everybody who thinks that the election was stolen or talks about the election being stolen is lying to America,” the Colorado Republican said during an interview in CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

Buck didn’t stop there.

“Everyone who makes the argument that January 6 was, you know, an unguided tour of the Capitol is lying to America. Everyone who says that the prisoners who are being prosecuted right now for their involvement in January 6, that they are somehow political prisoners or that they didn’t commit crimes, those folks are lying to America.”

First female Muslim federal judge in US history confirmed by the Senate

Senate confirms Nusrat ChoudhuryThe Senate on Thursday confirmed Nusrat Choudhury, a longtime civil rights attorney, to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, making her the nation's first female Muslim federal judge.

Choudhury, a former American Civil Liberties Union attorney, was confirmed 50-49 on a mostly party-line vote. West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, a Democrat, joined Republicans in opposing her.

Choudhury has served as the legal director of the ACLU of Illinois since 2020. She clerked for U.S. Circuit Judge Barrington Parker, who was nominated to the appeals bench in New York by former President George W. Bush and to U.S. District Court by former President Bill Clinton. She received her law degree from Yale.

She is also the first Bangladeshi-American to serve as a federal judge.

Biden also nominated the first Muslim federal judge, U.S. District Judge Zahid Quraishi, who was confirmed in 2021. The Biden administration has made diversifying the federal judiciary − including with professional diversity − a centerpiece of the president’s agenda.
