Capitol Riot
A group of participants in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot has filed a class action lawsuit in Florida seeking $18 million from the federal government for alleged injuries. The suit, led by former Proud Boys member Alan E. Fischer, accuses Capitol Police and D.C. Metropolitan Police of using excessive force without warning. It comes after President Donald Trump pardoned around 1,500 rioters last year.

On the fifth anniversary of the January 6 Capitol riot, Senate Democrats have introduced two bills to prevent taxpayer money from funding compensation or settlements for convicted rioters. Sponsored by Sen. Alex Padilla, the measures aim to hold the insurrectionists accountable amid President Trump's pardons. It's a bold move to protect public funds and honor the defending officers.
