Today is the 5th anniversary of the riot at the Capitol of the United States of America.

Today the Minnesota Star Tribune indicates that Minnesota is likely to be the reprise of what previously has happened in places like Chicago – federal ICE agents arriving in force.

Yesterday I learned that a plaque memorializing January 6, which was authorized by Congress for permanent display at the U.S. Capitol building, was completed but today is nowhere to be found, supposedly in storage.  At the end of this post is a one minute video from the Associated Press about this plaque and its status.  There will likely be more news about this today.

My three primary ‘go to’ commentators were first in line on my computer today.  You might set aside the time to read what they have to say.  In order of their arrival in my inbox:

Heather Cox Richardson 2:01 a.m.

Robert Reich, 3:16 a.m.

Paul Krugman 5:36 a.m.

Joyce Vance 2:16 p.m.
