Just after 2:00 p.m., on the west front, the police - bloodied, battered, and overwhelmed - blasted this message, ordering people to leave.

The Capitol was breached minutes later.

There's a persistent myth that the cops "let people in."

It's nonsense.

There's extensive evidence that rioters knew they were breaking the law.

Here's one of the rioters making a call, knowing that she might need to be bailed out of jail.

As violence against police escalated on the west front of the Capitol, some of the rioters appeared to take pleasure and even laugh.

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day.

Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me.

1. Hundreds of corps that pledged to stop donating to members of Congress who voted to overturn the election on 1/6/21 have broken their promise over the last 5 years

But we've identified 10 promise keepers:

Farmers
Airbnb
Expedia
Nike
Clorox
Eversource Energy
Holland & Hart
Qurate
Whirlpool
Lyft
Five years later, these 10 corporations still aren’t funding election deniers
Five years ago today, on January 6, 2021, a violent mob stormed the Capitol building.

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.

We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.

We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval.

If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

It’s called the First Amendment.

You used it as your defense to incite an insurrection.

It seems CDC leadership (to the center level) is working hard to rehire the T42s “mistakenly” fired this week

In case they can’t, CDC’s union is looking into potential MSPB appeals. If you haven’t joined, now is a great time. This isn’t the 1st or last workers’ rights violation
