This #Jan6 plaque was made to honor law enforcement. It's nowhere to be found at the #Capitol

The official plaque honoring the #police who defended #democracy that day is nowhere to be found.

It’s not on display at the Capitol, as is required by #law. Its whereabouts aren’t publicly known, though it’s believed to be in storage.

&, in particular, police officers who were brutalized by Trump’s army of deluded followers—these days can seem infernal. Trump’s term is one-quarter over; a piece of advice often attributed to Churchill has it best: When you’re going through hell, keep going.

Obama, a model of dignified presidential behavior (just like *nearly* all of his predecessors, Democratic & Republican), understood viscerally the importance of self-restraint & adherence to long-established norms. Which is why he was so troubled by #Trump’s decadent performance. “You can stand in front of tens of thousands of teenage boys & encourage them to be good citizens & be helpful to their mothers,” Obama said, “or you can go Lord of the Flies. He went Lord of the Flies.”

Then we created an interactive database that lets you sort through the footage.

Our most-read story of 2025:

Three years ago, our reporter received an envelope with no return address.

Inside was a flash drive containing tens of thousands of files: years of secretly recorded conversations, private militia chat logs and videos sent by a man named John Williams.

A Mole Infiltrated the Highest Ranks of American Militias. This Is What He Found.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.
