WASHINGTON — Federal law enforcement agencies failed to correctly analyze a wide range of intelligence showing the potential for violence on Jan. 6, 2021, Democrats on the Senate Homeland Security Committee concluded in a report released Tuesday. That post was one of many alluding to the potential for violence leading up to Jan. 6. "What was shocking is that this attack was essentially planned in plain sight in social media," Peters said in an interview, "And yet it seemed as if our intelligence agencies completely dropped the ball." According to the report, similar streams of intelligence continued to flood federal agencies tasked with keeping watch for violent activity. "On the contrary, these threats were made openly, often in publicly available social media posts, and FBI and I&A were aware of them."

REUTERS/Evelyn HocksteinWASHINGTON, Dec 6 (Reuters) - A hardline Republican U.S. lawmaker on Tuesday announced he will challenge House of Representatives party chief Kevin McCarthy for the House speakership, a prospect that could lead to party turmoil when the Republican-led chamber convenes in January. But both his allies and those of McCarthy, 57, of California, have pledged to hold multiple votes until a new speaker is chosen. Biggs, who mounted a failed bid for the House Republican speaker nomination last month, said he had decided to oppose McCarthy to "break the establishment." There was no immediate comment from McCarthy, who was nominated for the speakership over Biggs last month by 188 of his fellow Republicans. Republicans won a single-digit House majority in this year's midterm elections, a slim margin that would allow just a handful of Republican opponents to block McCarthy from becoming speaker.
Former DC police officer Michael Fanone is backing Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman for Senate. Fanone accused Republican candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz of filling his campaign with "election deniers." Former Washington Metropolitan Police Department Officer Michael Fanone says that makes him unfit for office. "Oz has filled his campaign ranks with election deniers and even participants in the January 6th attack on our Capitol," Michael Fanone said in a video released Monday by the campaign of Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. As reported by Rolling Stone, an Oz campaign coordinator, Lee Snover, admitted that on January 6 she went as far as "the Capitol steps."
