Six Senate Republicans voted to block Arizona’s electoral votes from counting.

Rudy Giuliani, a lawyer and top adviser to President Donald Trump, is calling Republican lawmakers urging them to delay the electoral vote count by at least one day to allow the president and his team to present more evidence of alleged election fraud. Giuliani was making calls this evening, as late as an hour before Congress reconvened, in a desperate attempt to block the final count of Electoral College votes. At approximately 7 p.m., Giuliani called newly sworn-in Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville, a staunch Trump ally, imploring him to stall the process. “I want to discuss with you how they're trying to rush this hearing and how we need you, our Republican friends, to try to just slow it down so we can get these legislatures to get more information to you,” Giuliani said in a voicemail. “And I know they're reconvening at 8 tonight, but it ... the only strategy we can follow is to object to numerous states and raise issues so that we get ourselves into tomorrow—ideally until the end of tomorrow. I know McConnell is doing everything he can to rush it, which is kind of a kick in the head because it's one thing to oppose us, it's another thing not to give us a fair opportunity to contest it.”

The woman, identified by her husband as Ashli Babbitt, is said to have tweeted that “the storm is here” ahead of the violent breach of the Capitol Building. The woman shot dead as a mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters violently stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday has been identified by her family as an Air Force vet who was an outspoken supporter of Trump. Local San Diego news outlet KUSI named the woman as Ashli Babbitt, a San Diego resident who is said to have served 14 years in the military. Her husband, who was not identified by name in the report, described her as an avid Trump supporter. The two are said to own a business together in San Diego, though he did not travel with her to D.C. “I really don’t know why she decided to do this,” Babbitt’s mother-in-law was quoted as telling Fox 5 DC. Authorities have yet to confirm her identity after she was pronounced dead at a local hospital Wednesday, and attempts to reach her family were not immediately successful. A spokesman with the Metropolitan Police Department told The Daily Beast they were still investigating the woman’s death and that “additional details will be forthcoming.” The Wall Street Journal reported late Wednesday that a woman was shot by Capitol Police after breaching barricades to storm the building. Babbitt supported the violent pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theory, according to her Twitter account. She quoted “Q,” the anonymous figure behind QAnon, which falsely claims Democrats and other opponents of President Trump are Satanic pedophiles, in an Aug. 21 tweet, writing: “It is going to be biblical - Q.” On Sept. 7, Babbitt posted a picture of herself at a Trump boat parade with the hashtag “WWG1WGA,” a reference to the QAnon slogan, “Where we go one, we go all.”

With control of both chambers and the White House, Democrats could mandate changes among the Capitol Police force.

Oh dear

Donald Trump didn’t create this chaos alone. The political theater from Missouri’s junior senator has spilled into real life. And death.

The Squad, both old and new, immediately drafted a series of steps to deal with Republican insurrectionists directly, rather than hoping they’d just be nicer.

The collective delusion finally reached the level of violence it always threatened.

The far right is focused on “Stop the Steal” nonsense, but violence driven by white supremacy won’t disappear even if Trump does.

Critics and even some allies of companies like Twitter and Facebook say they have failed to prevent the misinformation that led to chaos on Wednesday.

(CNN)Supporters of President Donald Trump have breached the US Capitol and one woman has been shot as one of the most iconic American buildings is engulfed in chaos after Trump urged his supporters to fight against the ceremonial counting of the electoral votes that confirmed President-elect Joe Biden's win. Shortly after 1 p.m. ET hundreds of pro-Trump protesters pushed through barriers set up along the perimeter of the Capitol, where they tussled with officers in full riot gear, some calling the officers "traitors" for doing their jobs. About 90 minutes later, police said demonstrators got into the building and the doors to the House and Senate were being locked. Shortly after, the House floor was evacuated by police. An armed standoff was taking place at the House front door as of 3 p.m. ET, and police officers had their guns drawn at someone who is trying to breach it. A Trump supporter was also pictured standing at the Senate dais.

*sigh*

The “Save America” pro-Trump rally just outside the White House on Wednesday amounted to a declaration of war on the Republican Party by the president’s most fervent followers. President Donald Trump attacked a long list of Republicans during his speech, including Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, and Bill Barr, in addition to the Supreme Court. Their offenses? Being unwilling to help him try to overturn his election loss to Joe Biden. “They’re weak Republicans, they’re pathetic Republicans,” Trump said, adding later: “If they don’t fight, we have to primary the hell out of the ones that don’t fight. ... We’re gonna let you know who they are.”
