Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), a gun-toting supporter of the QAnon movement, is facing backlash after she was accused of live-tweeting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) location during the attack on Capitol Hill last week. Boebert shared the tweet soon after President Donald Trump's supporters stormed the Capitol with deadly results. "The Speaker has been removed from the chambers," Boebert wrote.

The local historian whose work shone a spotlight on practices at mother-and-baby homes has said she is disappointed by today's report. Catherine Corless said she had no further enlightenment after listening to the Taoiseach and Minister for Children, after they made a presentation to survivors this afternoon. She said she had hoped that survivors would get some idea of what would follow after the publication of the report. But she said instead they got a lot of "political lingo", with the Government "glossing over" what went on in the homes investigated.

Joe Biden used to brag that he practically wrote the Patriot Act, the Bush-era law that massively increased government surveillance powers.

On December 26 in Wisconsin, a box of 570 doses of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine was found sitting out at room temperature. Five days later, Steven Brandenburg was arrested for intentionally removing the vaccine from the refrigerator for 12-hour chunks of time, prosecutors said, with the goal of making the vials' contents useless. What many find alarming about Brandenburg's actions is his job: He is a pharmacist. Despite his medical and science background and profession, according to court documents, Brandenburg believed incorrectly that the vaccine could alter human DNA. He later admitted that he purposely destroyed the vaccines because of his belief that the vaccine would harm people, VICE News reported. While Brandenburg’s story is an extreme example, it points at a larger and more worrying trend: vaccine skepticism among medical professionals. All over the country, reports have emerged that some healthcare workers have been refusing or deferring the vaccine when it's offered to them. The L.A. Times reported in December that at St. Elizabeth Community Hospital in Tehama County, fewer than half of the 700 people who worked there were willing to receive the vaccine when it first became available. Jeremy Boal, the chief clinical officer of the Mount Sinai Health System in New York City, told Gothamist that the number of high-priority staff members accepting the vaccine ranged from 25 percent at one medical facility to 65 percent at another. A recent survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation found that 29 percent of healthcare workers were “vaccine hesitant.” The percentage in the general population was around 27 percent. And a survey from October from the American Nurses Foundation found that about two-thirds of the nurses polled were unsure about receiving the vaccine, or said they would not voluntarily get it.

One topic of discussion was the need to put every member of Congress through a metal detector before the inauguration. A member on the call told HuffPost that there was an “eyes-wide-open realization” that Capitol Police needed to take precautions against “all these members who were in league with the insurrectionists who love to carry their guns.” “You can’t just let them bypass security and walk right up to [Joe] Biden and [Kamala] Harris at inauguration,” this lawmaker told HuffPost. Another area of concern was the Trump administration’s involvement in tamping down an insurrection. “I don’t think anyone has confidence that the folks at the Pentagon, that may or may not even be needed for some of this, or the Department of Homeland Security, where we don’t even know who’s in charge, are going to be cooperative,” one member told HuffPost.

The Secret Service indicated Monday that it was investigating an officer who posted comments on Facebook in which she accused lawmakers who formalized Biden’s win of treason and echoed Trump’s conspiracy theories about the rigging of the election. According to screenshots provided to The Washington Post, the officer posted a meme on Facebook of Trump shaking hands with himself in the Oval Office, titled “Here’s to the Peaceful Transition of Power.” The day after the attack on the Capitol, a comment posted in the officer’s name ridiculed efforts to remove Trump from office and accused lawmakers who were formally accepting the electoral vote of “committing treason on live tv.”
