Watch: The police and reporters far outnumbered attendees at the "Justice for J6" rally in Washington, with fewer than 100 people gathering in support of those accused of storming the Capitol on Jan. 6. https://t.co/yMkGvHQssT pic.twitter.com/FY4zsqo6lu

"The only clear parallels to the riots more than eight months ago by supporters of Donald Trump were the false claims put forth by the rally organizers about the violence that January day when Congress met to certify the election of Joe Biden." @CTlong1 https://t.co/EiGuUveoob

I'm at today's “Justice for J6” protest in DC, because reporting on these groups is part of my beat, but the overhyping of the significance of this rally is obscuring what has been happening to these far-right movements in the aftermath of Jan. 6 far from the country's capital…

255 days ago terrorists ransacked the US Capitol and *hours later* 138-of-202 (68%) House republicans voted to make trump a dictator. They tried to finish the rioters’ job and end democracy. Never forget it.

It's not the tens of protestors who showed up for today's sad rally who matter. It's the 147 members of Congress who voted to overthrow the election and the hundreds of state legislators sprinting to suppress votes in future elections who matter.

Lawmakers who shudder at what Trump did during his final days in office have the chance to reflect on the mess they created—how their fecklessness over the past two decades handed unrestrained power to an unhinged commander-in-chief. https://t.co/093agyrju7

Swing state by swing state, former President Donald Trump is trying to get people who tried to overturn the 2020 election chosen to be in charge of the 2024 election.https://t.co/RuWTEo6Nyk

Trump right now still trying to pressure states into changing their election results despite multiple audits by REPUBLICANS that show NO ELECTION FRAUD.
This guy needs to be locked up and his enablers along with him. https://t.co/hw94pJ0tKM
Still crazy after all these months.

Donald Trump is an embarrassment and a buffoon. pic.twitter.com/zeujNAATCq
For the moment, the political sideshow Trump is staging hasn’t really transcended the media’s seriocomic boundaries. The press has remained focused on stories with more merit and public interest, despite Trump’s efforts to be included. https://t.co/KurNfJHOKg

"The focus on Milley misses a larger point: He was just one of a half-dozen senior military and civilian officials who took similar unusual steps," who "quietly placed guardrails around" Trump's actions during those final months as prez, @IgnatiusPost says https://t.co/ELqCXACFDB

National Review's Kevin Williamson took to the New York Times last week to help them ignore Biden's failures and aim fire on their shared enemies: Trump and his supporters. "The Trump administration was grotesque in its cruelty and incompetence." https://t.co/aM8BSzH1E1

I ditched the Jan. 6 protest today to attend a basset hound convention in Virginia. Pretty happy with that decision, saw some hungry bassets compete in a pie-eating contest.

And
Saw the photos and had to go see it myself. More than 670,000 white flags are flying on the National Mall memorializing victims of the pandemic. They’ll be out here through October. Stunning and tremendously powerful, sparkling in the evening sunlight. pic.twitter.com/aV8tYt41Ex
