While an American hero is honored in the Capitol Rotunda, Fox slams teachers for demanding safe working conditions for them and their kids, calling such desires a “power play”.

Not kidding. They’re spinning Fauci telling the truth-somewhat unknowable at this point, given the fast changing nature of “what we know” as a “scientific fact”, as lying. Imagine that, acknowledging the truth that we learn from events in the past to inform the future as some kind of betrayal, some kind of weakness. What is the matter with these people?

Actually, I know the answer. They value power above all. They care for us as individuals not one bit/

All I’ve seen so far has been family, capital police, and Democrats.

And President Biden is on his way.

McConnell’s and McCarthy’s absence is very telling.

Either they reported it incorrectly or I misunderstood what they were saying. My husband is channel surfing so it's possible I got it wrong or missed something. I'm actually watching this on the NBC livestream with no commentary.

Update: My bad. You were right and I was wrong. My husband told me President Biden, Pelosi and Schumer appeared earlier but tonight is mostly for the Capital police. Tomorrow is for the rest of the lawmakers and the general public. The absence of the Republican leadership is odd and yes, telling.

I was afraid we might not see it again. I was thankful for that but sobbing for the loss of life the entire time.
