Stephen Ayres of Ohio pleaded guilty to one count of disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building in June. He said he lost his job and had to sell his house because of his participation in Jan. 6.

Ayres said he and other Trump supporters at the rally went to the Capitol because the president had told them to go there.

Over 900 people have been arrested and charged in connection with the Capitol riot, according to Insider's database. A growing number of them have subsequently been charged with additional separate crimes, CBS News reported. The additional charges could complicate their efforts to get lenient sentences in their Capitol riot cases. In one instance, federal authorities said a Navy reservist went into "panic mode" after the Capitol riot and made $50,000 in firearms-related purchases, The Washington Post reported. Additionally, these additional charges could make it harder for the defendants to get lenient sentences in their Capitol riot charges and could mean that other defendants could struggle to secure pretrial releases.

☆ Parler, the social media app Capitol rioters used to rally support, returns to Google's app store after it reluctantly agrees to more moderation
  + stars: | 2022-09-03 | by ( Lloyd Lee | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Parler is a social media app that attracted conservatives with its minimal content moderation policy. Google said that it was reinstated because the app has improved its content moderation. Now, the social media company that touts itself as a "premier global free speech platform" will be stepping up its content moderation rules. "As we've long stated, apps are able to appear on Google Play provided they comply with Play's developer policies," the spokesperson said. The social media app was also removed from Apple's app store and Amazon's web hosting services after the Capitol riot, effectively taking it offline for a month before it found a new web host.
