January 6th was an attack by criminals on the US government who were trying to overthrow the election.
Trump has pardoned the 1,600 people who were convicted
Trump has fired about 20 prosecutors who led the cases against them
Trump has treated terrorist Ashli Babbitt as a hero
Now the criminals want compensation from the government
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.”My latest in @thebulwark.com http://www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a…

Trump says he's looking at setting up some sort of government "compensation fund" for the January 6 criminals that he pardoned.

January 6 thugs should have paid the full price of treason. Instead these unpatriotic insurrectionists want compensation for their failed coup. This sick attempt to reward monsters and revise history is an act of war against the United States of America. http://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u…

Disgraceful move by January 6th criminals. Let’s see what Republicans do
Several House Dems are posting replicas of a commemorative plaque for police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 — needling Johnson for the prolonged delay in installing the official plaque commissioned by Congress years ago.
— Politico (@politico.com) 2025-06-23T21:19:21.100Z
3 years ago, Congress voted to honor the officers who defended our democracy on January 6th with a memorial plaque in the Capitol. Yet Republicans are ignoring the law and refusing to install it.In its absence, we are hanging replicas—because heroism deserves more than silence.
— Nancy Pelosi (@pelosi.house.gov) 2025-06-23T21:24:14.649Z
Congress passed a law to place a plaque in the Capitol honoring the officers who protected the transfer of power, Members of Congress and VP Pence on Jan 6. The plaque is complete and long overdue for display. But Speaker Johnson is leaving it in a dark closet.

Per Scott McFarlane: Multiple Jan 6 defendants have filed legal motions asking that the legally-required Jan 6 honorary plaque at US Capitol also include … a "recognition" of the "experiences" of the Jan 6 defendantsY'all see this ish???

As in earlier @CBSNewsPoll @YouGovAmerica the large % of Rs who describe 1/6 attack as "patriotism" (51%) or "defending freedom" (59%) shows how deeply authoritarian attitudes have spread in party, which creates a long-term threat to democracy.
