On January 6, a mob of pro-Trump extremists motivated by then-President Donald Trump's lies about the 2020 election stormed the United States Capitol in a deadly failed insurrection.

Hoping to stop the congressional certification of then-President-elect Joe Biden's victory, the mob shattered windows, beat police officers, ransacked offices, smeared excrement across the walls and threatened the lives of even Republican elected officials.


The chaos went on for hours before Trump finally told the rioters to go home, placating them by saying they were very "special" and that he loved them.

Though his administration condemned the violence later, Trump continues to spout the same delusions that incited it in the first place: that Democrats engaged in widespread election fraud to somehow "steal" the election from Trump.

Now, the Capitol is heightening security yet again, as hundreds of conservatives prepare to descend on the building in a "Justice for J6" rally advocating for the rioters.

On Friday, Trump expressed his support in a statement for those who stormed the Capitol earlier this year on his behalf.

Referring to the deadly insurrection as a "protest," he wrote:

"Our hearts and minds are with the people being persecuted so unfairly relating to the January 6th protest concerning the Rigged Presidential Election. In addition to everything else, it has proven conclusively that we are a two-tiered system of justice. In the end, however, JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL!"

Social media users condemned the statement en masse.





Some said it was Trump himself who should be facing justice.




The House Select Committee regarding January 6, despite widespread opposition from Republican members of Congress, continues to investigate the insurrection.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
