Summary

House Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, announced a new subcommittee to investigate the January 6 attack, aiming to challenge findings that held Donald Trump responsible.

Chaired by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, the panel seeks to reframe the riot as a result of intelligence and security failures, not deliberate violence.

This follows Trump’s sweeping pardons for all January 6 defendants, including those convicted of violence.

Critics warn these actions could encourage political violence, while Republicans claim they aim to “uncover the full truth.”

    Republicans care more about Trump’s feelings than they do about their constituents, let alone the homeless and unhoused.

    After all - according to the gospel of prosperity, Jesus said “fuck them poors!”.
