Wednesday's violent insurrection at the Capitol led to the death of five people. Some lawmakers and others worry that it was just the beginning of what's to come.

The December call preceded Trump’s Jan. 2 call to Georgia Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger where he asked election officials to “find” enough votes to overturn Biden's win.

A resolution calling on Pence to do so was blocked Monday by Republicans. But more votes are expected Tuesday, with an impeachment vote Wednesday.

Even though both parties ran unified campaigns, nearly 20,000 Georgians appear to have split their votes in the two races, between Raphael Warnock and David Perdue.

Two men accused of joining a mob of Trump’s supporters that stormed the Capitol — one wearing a horned, fur hat and the other carrying Pelosi's lectern were arrested Saturday.

“We must take action,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declared Friday on a private conference call with Democrats.

After a glow of hope when the first coronavirus vaccines were approved last month, the nation's inoculation campaign has gotten off to a slow start.

The most dangerous situation in recent history was a 1990 pipe bomb in the basement.

In a Friday tweet Trump said, “To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.”

Minority Leader Jay Costa, D-Allegheny, said Sen. Doug Mastriano's words and actions since November encouraged a coup attempt and inspired the people behind it.

The first step to quelling an insurrection is installing a competent government, said author and Navy veteran Malcolm Nance.

“Nobody is fooled by these last-second, come-to-Jesus conversions,” said Rick Wilson, co-founder of the Lincoln Project, a group of Republicans fiercely critical of Trump.

The U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement that Officer Brian D. Sicknick was injured “while physically engaging with protesters" during the Wednesday riot.

Much of the reaction among Biden and Trump supporters caused reactions that broke along existing political fault lines.

Twitter had threatened to block him from the platform over posts he made in the wake of the violence.
