“About 40 percent of the phones tracked near the rally stage on the National Mall during the speeches were also found in and around the Capitol during the siege — a clear link between those who’d listened to the president and his allies and then marched on the building.” https://t.co/r6twrHTKfN

Federal prosecutors have announced charges against more than 175 people involved in the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Our review of cases suggests that many were likely disorganized, but some groups and individuals came trained and prepared for battle. https://t.co/9Fuj4Icwby

Covers: I Pity the Poor Immigrant

Bob Dylan recorded “I Pity the Poor Immigrant” on his 1967 album John Wesley Harding. The original released version is not on YouTube but one of the outtakes is. There are also versions from his Rolling Thunder Revue. Joan Baez is one of artists who has covered it.

Covers: Six Days on the Road

“Six Days on the Road” was originally recorded by Paul Davis in 1961. It was made famous by Dave Dudley in 1963.

Trump doesn’t have a First Amendment defense

Here’s my smack down of the Trump first amendment argument we are hearing right now.

It’s total nonsense: https://t.co/bT5BNJKwKM

Senators acquitted Trump on legal technicalities. The Senate itself rejected the jurisdictional defense, that you can't try an ex-president. I wrote for @MSNBCDaily to explain why the 1st Amendment defense also fails & the implications of accepting it. https://t.co/M6TcEjuRzi

The problem with Trump's first amendment defense? @JoyceWhiteVance says "It's a mismatch of legal doctrine…Because Trump's conduct, his speech, was intended to incite violent behavior, the first amendment doesn't shelter him even during an impeachment." pic.twitter.com/J6DrGFBOZ3

Wisconsin Republicans oppose the governor’s mask mandate

To them, elections only matter if Republicans win.

Wisconsin’s GOP-controlled legislature has repealed Gov. Tony Evers’ statewide face mask mandate — making it one of just 10 states without a mask requirement. https://t.co/RTkPTDNSJJ

aaand there you have it: Wisconsin Republicans in the state legislature just voted to axe the mask mandate that keeps their families, and all of our families, safe. The worst. https://t.co/cErHaxn3sh

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers issues a new statewide mask order an hour after the Republican-controlled Legislature voted to repeal his previous mandate. GOP lawmakers say the Democratic governor lacks the authority to issue such a decree. https://t.co/v0nUGhyYl0

Biden is right to remove Trump appointees

In sharp contrast to Trump, who left many positions unfilled as he complained about the size of the government, Biden has moved swiftly to install political appointees across the administration, while quietly dismissing Trump holdovers. https://t.co/eDHbLYcYOb

From today's newsletter: The National Mediation Board, tasked with overseeing labor-management disputes in the rail and aviation industries, is still controlled by Trump appointees until Biden names new members.

6/ Elaine Chao.

Before she jumped the sinking ship of the Trump administration in January, the transportation secretary (who’s married to Sen. Mitch McConnell) scored a cushy gig on the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Board of Trustees. pic.twitter.com/54WiCLQDxF

The prestigious appointments are generally considered ways to pad resumes and though they generally do not come with salaries, they could come with travel money or perks, such as seats in the trustees boxes at Kennedy Center. https://t.co/x3aunWfCyS
— Anita Kumar (@anitakumar01) January 28, 2021

Trump appointed 10 new members to the Kennedy Center's Board of Trustees including Mike Huckabee and Jon Voight. Having shown zero interest in the center, never attending a single event. Revenge against against the center's mission of inclusion.
These people must be removed too.

What’s Happening:
Soon after he entered office, Joe Biden wiped out many of Trump’s leaders. It should come as no surprise that Biden would want to get rid of whoever faithfully served a conservative president.

But Joe quickly realized that not everything Trump did would be so – https://t.co/8higkqlBeJ
