Fox News primetime host Tucker Carlson lashed out at one of his favorite targets on Thursday night: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Carlson also accused Ocasio-Cortez of being a hypocrite for praising Capitol Police officers as "heroic," while supporting reallocating law enforcement funds to social services. "She likes the cops now despite the fact they're white supremacists," he said. Carlson's account of the Capitol riot flies in the face of overwhelming evidence and law enforcement's charges. And Carlson has long been accused of sympathizing with white supremacists, whom he has occasionally disavowed.

Widen After Impeachment Vote Some House Republicans have called on Representative Liz Cheney to resign from her leadership post after she voted to impeach President Trump. Representative Liz Cheney had issued a scathing statement the day before the impeachment vote repudiating President Trump. Mr. Biden will detail his proposal, which he and his economic team have been honing for weeks, in an evening speech in Delaware. “This nation also remains in the grip of a deadly virus and a reeling economy,” Mr. Biden said Wednesday. Far more of a party institutionalist, Mr. Biden has promised to rebuild state parties and deepen investments in the committee.

Far-right personalities are trying to minimize the Capitol attack and divert blame away from President Trump. One of the Trump supporters, Ryan Wolfe, told Lavandera, "I believe that either foreign intelligence officers or local militant groups incited the conflict." The Antifa narrative, designed to exculpate the Trump supporters who ransacked the Capitol -- and also exonerate Trump for encouraging them -- has been debunked, yet it persists. "Without a teleportation device, it is impossible for somebody to have been at the president's speech and then at the Capitol," Kassam claimed on OAN. His so-called evidence: Some protesters were already at the Capitol while Trump was still speaking about a mile and a half away.

Parler is sharing information with the FBI on federal investigations into the Capitol riot. A sworn FBI affidavit shows that Parler gave information that helped FBI agents identify, locate, and arrest a Proud Boys supporter making threats on Parler. But the cooperation could have unusually significant consequences for Parler users who organized violence at the Capitol on January 6. Parler is sharing information with the FBI in connection with the Department of Justice's investigations into the violent riot at the US Capitol.

U.S. National Guard riot shields are laid out at the ready outside the U.S. Capitol Building on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., January 13, 2021. The incoming Biden administration has significantly ramped up security around his team ahead of the Jan. 20 inauguration. The riot at the Capitol in Washington on Jan. 6 forced lawmakers to flee the inner chambers of the building, fearing for their lives. The biggest single security operation is in Washington, where Biden will be sworn in outside the Capitol next Wednesday. In Wisconsin, Governor Tony Evers authorized National Guard troops to support security efforts in the state capital of Madison.

Far-right social media app Parler has been dropped from Amazon's cloud platform and removed from Google's and Apple's app store in the wake of last week's insurrection at the US Capitol. Internal Microsoft discussions viewed by Insider indicate that Parler is a customer of the Microsoft Office 365 productivity suite — with dozens of employees debating what to do about the situation. One Microsoft employee noted that at least as of Sunday, Parler's domain "looks to be active/enabled in Azure Active Directory." Others believe that Amazon did the right thing in banning Parler, taking the site offline, and would like to see Microsoft follow their lead.

The three journalists said no explanation was given, but they added that the reason did not have to be detailed. CNN, MSNBC, The Washington Post and The Times are seen as liberal within the Murdoch empire, which is home to Fox News and Fox Business, cable networks that were instrumental to the rise of President Trump. To publish articles based on the work of those organizations would not fit the Post’s right-leaning identity, the journalists said. In the final days of the campaign, when Mr. Trump seemed headed for defeat, the tabloid’s tone shifted. Amid the violence Trump loyalists chanted, “CNN sucks,” and MSNBC journalists said they made sure not to display MSNBC identifying markers on their gear or clothing.

“He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding.” “These facts require immediate actions by President Trump,” he continued. A few Republicans defended him, but most others simply argued that a rush to impeach Mr. Trump without a hearing or an investigation raised constitutional questions. With Democrats controlling the House, Mr. Trump is expected to become the first American president to be impeached twice. Mayor Muriel Bowser of Washington sent a letter to Mr. Trump on Sunday asking for an emergency declaration to obtain additional funding for inauguration security. On Tuesday, a federal inspector general questioned an order to deliver the estimates before Mr. Trump leaves office, after whistle-blowers warned that the rush would imperil their accuracy.

President Trump's business is being hobbled . Trump's war on the nation's news media, his war on truth, his war on REALITY ultimately caused him to become the first US president to be impeached two times. Carlson also claimed that Trump voters have been "redefined as domestic terrorists" in the past week. One of her first guests, Ben Domenech, said that voting for impeachment was akin to telling Trump voters, "CNN's right about you." Some Trump voters are embarrassed by the past week's events, but many are still fully on board the cliched "Trump train."

President Donald Trump’s rabid online following will be smaller from now on, but it may be more extreme. Without a megaphone to distribute his views on social media, Trump would have a difficult time influencing other media or finding new people to build his audience. Trump supporters were increasingly fixated on outsiders, with more of their posts discussing subjects such as “socialism” and “antifa.”Other research supports the idea that deplatforming is effective. Some of Trump’s supporters have migrated to Telegram, a messaging app founded in Russia that can accommodate large groups. “Fringe groups organizing on the internet predate the big social media networks.”

FILE PHOTO: A mob of supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump storm the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, U.S., January 6, 2021. The violence at the Capitol caused a serious rift between Trump and Pence, and the two men did not speak for days, although they did meet at the White House on Monday. With only eight days left in Trump’s term, chances the Democratic drive will result in his removal appear remote. An impeachment trial could proceed even after Trump leaves office. The Democratic-led House impeached Trump in December 2019 for pressuring the Ukrainian president to investigate Biden, but the Republican-controlled Senate acquitted him in February 2020.

With only eight days left in Trump’s term, chances the Democratic drive will result in his removal appear remote. An impeachment trial could proceed even after Trump leaves office. The House impeached Trump in December 2019 for pressuring Ukraine’s president to investigate Biden, but the Republican-controlled Senate acquitted him in February 2020. After last week’s chaos, authorities are hardening security ahead of Biden’s inauguration, which has already been dramatically scaled back due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Twitter said Monday it had suspended more than 70,000 accounts associated with the conspiracy theory QAnon since Friday afternoon. The purge coincided with prominent conservatives, including Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis and former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, losing thousands of followers. Twitter announced on Monday evening that it had permanently suspended more than 70,000 accounts associated with the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory following the siege of the US Capitol. The company's suspensions had resulted in follower count changes in the thousands for some people's accounts, Twitter said. The suspensions come after Twitter said Friday it would permanently remove any accounts "solely dedicated to sharing QAnon content."

Fox News got lower TV ratings than both CNN and MSNBC at the same time for the first time since 2000 in the past week. All three networks saw their viewership soar as pro-Trump rioters stormed the US Capitol, but the CNN and MSNBC bumps far outpaced the one at Fox. CNN and MSNBC scored both higher ratings than Fox News at the same time for the first time since 2000 as their viewership boomed during last week's storming of the US Capitol. On Thursday, CNN averaged 3.854 million total viewers, MSNBC averaged 3.321 million, and Fox averaged 1.935 million. On Friday, CNN had 3.121 million total viewers, MSNBC had 2.816 million and Fox News had 1.702 million.

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade sounded the alarm Monday morning over looming impeachment proceedings following President Donald Trump's incitement of the Capitol Siege last Wednesday. Kilmeade, a longtime host of "Fox & Friends," argued the insurrectionists would only become more determined to attack again if the House moves forward, with proceedings beginning as soon as tomorrow. "We see what's happening around the country, how 50 state houses are being threatened on Inauguration Day — this is the last thing you wanna do," Kilmeade said. An FBI bulletin obtained by ABC News reporter Aaron Katersky concluded that all 50 state capitals are facing "armed protests" in the buildup to President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration on Jan. 20. "He has 75 million supporters," the Fox News host said of Trump.

☆ Analysis: Will deplatforming make Trump and the far-right vanish, move -- or radicalize further?

And while persistent campaigns against ISIS online did not remove the horror entirely, it did significant damage to its ability to recruit, terrify, and proliferate its ideology. "In 2013 and 2014, ISIS content was just out in the open", said Amarnath Amarasingam , associate fellow at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation. He noted a Europol campaign in November 2019 against ISIS extremists on Telegram -- an encrypted messaging app that many far-right extremists in the US are reported to be moving to now. It doesn't, for example, have something like the black flag that was ubiquitous among ISIS supporters, or images of masked militants in fatigues. Conway noted that far-right content also seemed profitable, drawing, according to her research, greater numbers of followers (and so eyeballs for advertisers) than ISIS content -- on average about six times as many, when comparing followers of ISIS to far-right Twitter accounts.
