    After the Capitol was attacked, it was Henry Tarrio who took credit. Easy to forget that if you aren&amp;#39;t paying attention. &amp;quot;Make no mistake,” Tarrio wrote to members of Proud Boys leadership. “We did this.&amp;quot; Now he wants a pardon.

    Unfortunately, as some of you messaged to ask, it is true, there are layoffs coming to HuffPost.

    Some are asking me why I&amp;#39;d quit Mastodon if I end up being laid off in a few weeks: mostly because I don&amp;#39;t know if I am going to be able to stay in this industry. This could be the fourth layoff I&amp;#39;ve experienced. Im clawing desperately to stay in the industry. I am very happy at HuffPost and am so excited to work here. But if I get laid off, I literally don&amp;#39;t know where my next paycheck is coming from let alone what my posts will be online. Thanks for your support...

    Smith&amp;#39;s report is the end of a years long probe that followed the law faithfully and dutifully. No matter what Trump says or does about this report or the people who lawfully investigated him, it doesn&amp;#39;t change the evidence the world saw with its own eyes. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/doj-releases-special-counsel-jack-smiths-findings-in-trump-jan-6-probe_n_677fd5dae4b09fe8a981d328

    So, WHY wasn&amp;#39;t Trump charged with insurrection? I wrote an explainer for HuffPost to answer that exact question. Have your opinions but arm yourselves with facts: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-insurrection-jack-smith_n_6786db14e4b0a673540f9292?dbj

    There are a lot of things that Donald Trump wants to rewrite about his past. But as he prepares to resume power, I have put together a story that I hope you will find useful to combat dis/misinformation and propaganda. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/3-things-trump-wants-you-to-forget-before-he-takes-power_n_678afd67e4b0aa5a1d95d32f

    Trump has so far evaded responsibility for the events of Jan. 6 — namely, allegations he conspired to intimidate lawmakers to keep them from certifying results of the 2020 election. But a civil case brought by lawmakers has survived every bid Trump has made to bury it for 4 years. Soon, the judge presiding over the case will make a critical decision that could be the very last chance the country will ever have to hold Trump to account in a court of law for Jan. 6. https://www.huffpost.com/ent...

    TODAY: The birds and I are up early here at the Prettyman courthouse where I await a hearing before Judge Tanya Chutkan on a protective order sought by Special Counsel Jack Smith in Donald Trump&amp;#39;s Jan. 6 indictment. Hearing starts at 10AM ET. Updates to come.

    I may end up being wrong on this approach but I&amp;#39;ve decided that prospective employers are just gonna have to be OK with my position calling fascists, fascist. I&amp;#39;ve felt for awhile now, a long while, that things have been too much at stake to dilute the language uses to describe the authoritarian creep into life, politics, culture. It may not behoove me to call a spade a spade on this. But I&amp;#39;ve gone too far to sell myself out now. And really, to sell you all out.
