Put simply - the documentary was never aired in Florida - or the US. It wasn't available to watch in the US on iPlayer, online or any other streaming platforms including BritBox and BBC Select. We have therefore challenged jurisdiction of the Florida court and filed a motion to dismiss the President's claim.
Zapata admitted he had tunnel vision as he frantically searched for a suspect. Zapata and other police officers who gathered on Tanglewood drive did eventually find five people who were at Prairieland that night, though they were not what they expected. While they were wearing dark clothing, none of them were running, or carrying a rifle instead they were walking calmly along toward the police vehicles.
Hidden from all visitors, the current location is no different than the basement the plaque was kept in for years. Senators unanimously passed a bipartisan resolution in January directing the architect's office to prominently display' the memorial in a publicly accessible' part of the Senate wing until it could be permanently installed on the building's western side, as required by a 2022 law signed by former President Biden.
Judge Randolph Moss just sentenced Paul Hodgkins to eight months in prison for his role in the January 6 riot. Hodgkins will face two years of probation and pay the $2,000 restitution agreed on in his plea agreement (though will not be fined). The sentence was about what I expected, and a fair sentence for someone who pled guilty first and engaged in no violence (and even tried to calm other rioters).
As the United States heads toward the midterm elections, there are growing concerns among some political scientists that the country has moved even further along the path to some form of autocracy. Staffan I. Lindberg, the director of Sweden's V-Dem Institute, which monitors democracy across the globe, says the U.S. has already crossed the threshold and become an "electoral autocracy."
Threats against elected officials are not political speech, they are criminal acts that strike at the heart of public safety and our democratic system, the district attorney for Dutchess county, Anthony Parisi, said in a statement. Moynihan, of Pleasant Valley, New York, was charged last October after he sent threatening text messages about an appearance Jeffries was scheduled to make in New York City, according to a complaint filed in New York state court in Clinton.
We all saw what happened on Jan. 6, 2021. Donald Trump urged his followers to prevent the lawful transfer of presidential power, even though he lost the 2020 election by 7 million votes. He was immediately impeached for this. A majority (57 percent) of the U.S. Senate, including seven Republicans, voted to convict Trump and banish him from office forever.
At Thursday's hearing, Fanone, who was at the Capitol on duty during the January 6 riot, was filmed during a break confronting Ivan Raiklin. At one point, Fanone was held back by multiple people, including fellow former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn. Raiklin is a 2020 election conspiracy theorist and a vocal supporter of the January 6 Capitol rioters. Footage from multiple angles on Thursday found Fanone and Raiklin exchanging words before Fanone walked towards Raiklin and called him a traitor to this country.
Like, platforming people and giving them the space to say their point, and just that is problematic. But when you go up there and you let somebody basically say all the dumb sh*t out their mouth, and then you tell them why you're 100% wrong, that's good. I like action. That's what I think I feel like you're modeling good behavior.
"A lot of people said it was a dark day for democracy," Tillis said about Jan. 6, 2021, describing his memory of hearing the thousands of people "thugs," he said lay siege to the Capitol as Congress was tallying the 2020 election results. He said that because of the work of the law enforcement officers, it instead became a great day for democracy. "We came back and completed our constitutional duty to certify the election," he said.
Donald Trump called for my arrest, prosecution, and execution all because I said something he didn't like. Now he's pressuring his political appointees to harass me for daring to speak up and hold him accountable. I won't be intimidated and will keep fighting to uphold my oath to the Constitution and defend our country.
