Absolutely searing piece from @MEPFuller, who was in the chamber on Jan. 6. There are a lot of Capitol riot stories this week—don't miss this one.

The Real Tragedy of Jan. 6 Is That It’s Still Not Over
I had a front-row seat to the riot. A year later, one thing is clear: Nothing has changed.

It was around noon on Jan. 6, 2021, and I was already late.

I was supposed to be covering the counting of the electoral votes, as well as whatever crap Republicans planned to pull in one final act of fealty to President Donald Trump. But now, circling around Capitol Hill looking for a parking spot, I wasn’t sure I was going to make it.

I’d lived on and covered Capitol Hill for more than a decade, but I'd never had so much trouble finding a space. Even the illegal spots were taken.

I ended up parking further away from the Capitol than ever before, right behind a Volkswagen Beetle with out-of-state plates and a pro-life sticker.

1. This starts out a little slow, but it is an amazing piece of reporting

The best writing I have seen on 1/6. Totally captures the feel of the day.
