Jim Jordan was really scared on Jan. 6 after being in contact with the White House, Mark Meadows told Jack Smith’s team.

This comes out in testimony before Jordan’s own committee, which Jordan initially chose not to make public and then decided to release in the final hours of 2025.

Jack Smith: “No.”

Truly think "it was the holidays!" deserves more credit than it gets as a partial explanation for how the federal government failured so badly pre-J6. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Not for the first time, the signature block for Self-Proclaimed U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Lindsey Halligan spelled it “Virgina.”

An unintentionally hilarious headline:

A very amusing thing is that they never gave him the title downgrade even though — by virtue of having a co-deputy — he is definitionally a co-deputy as well.
