From the Weir family:
“It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Bobby Weir. He transitioned peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, after courageously beating cancer as only Bobby could. Unfortunately, he succumbed to underlying lung issues.”

Today is the fifth anniversary of one of the most disgraceful, disheartening days in U.S. history, instigated and funded in part by Trump. As you watch the video, remember he sat by, secure in the White House, and did nothing for several hours as the attack continued. (NSFW)

Never-before-seen January 6 footage from our photographer
On January 6, Los Angeles Times photographer Kent Nishimura was assigned to cover a pro-Trump rally at the Ellipse, just south of the White House. Former President Trump railed at the rally over what he falsely claimed was a stolen election and urged his supporters to march on the Capitol, where the results were being certified. Nishimura followed them, documenting the attack on the Capitol in real time. As he sent in photos and video of the event, he let his GoPro camera, attached to his helmet, run as long as the battery could last. That footage had never been shown until now.
