Morning Edition host Jennifer Lynn speaks with WHYY political reporter Katie Meyer about how Pa.’s political disarray stoked tensions in D.C. this week.

A Pa. Trump supporter was one of the few insurrectionists arrested Wednesday for storming the nation’s capital in an attempt to disrupt the 2020 election.

A mob stormed the U.S. Capitol after Trump urged supporters to march to the building to oppose the election results. Roughly 14 hours later, Congress affirmed Biden's victory.

Merrick Garland is likely best known as a nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court who was refused even a hearing by Senate Republicans.

Democrats and some Republicans want Trump removed before his term ends on Jan. 20 with Democrat Joe Biden’s inauguration.

Skyrocketing deaths and infections there are threatening to force hospitals to ration care and essentially decide who lives and who dies.

Armed with pro-Trump banners, the rioters far outnumbered and swiftly overwhelmed Capitol Police as they charged up the steps, smashed windows, broke into the Senate chamber.

Columnist Solomon Jones examines the events in Washington that left four people dead. But what if the rioters who breached the U.S. Capitol were Black?

The party's usual excuses for Trump — he's not a typical politician and is uninterested in hewing to D.C. niceties — fell short against images of mobs occupying the Capitol.

A new study suggests reopening schools may be safer than previously thought, at least in communities where the virus is not already spreading out of control.

"History will rightly remember today's violence at the Capitol, incited by a sitting president who has continued to baselessly lie about the outcome of a lawful election."

West Virginia Del. Derrick Evans, sworn in last month, was seen in a since-deleted video entering the building. It is unclear whether Evans will face disciplinary action.

Four people died, one of them a woman who was shot and killed by police inside the Capitol. Three other people died after suffering “medical emergencies” tied to the breach.

For years, those in charge of voting have said stoking false fears about voting would one day lead to violence. On Wednesday, they were proven right.
