  Congressman Jamie Raskin, a Democrat who served on the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, says their final report reveals very real threats to democracy — but also a "strong resurgent democratic spirit" in America today.

  The $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill Congress passed last week includes funding to help with the crushing caseload of more than 930 prosecutions related to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. It also includes millions of dollars to bolster security for members of the House and Senate, following a rise in threats and the attack against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul Pelosi at their home in San Francisco in October.
  "There's very dangerous rhetoric going on out there that's a real break from everything we've known in our lifetimes," Raskin said. "What it means to live in a democracy with basic civic respect is that people can disagree without resorting to violence.

  But what’s really messed up here is the media tells Republicans that it’s democrats who are being violent. They don’t even get hit with any factual news about their own side and how tragic this trend has become for us as a nation. >
  
  They wouldn't believe it if they did, anything they don't want to hear is fake news and deep state crisis actors, it wouldn't matter, it's a cult >
  
  Criminal behavior yo >
  
  So, what are we going to do about the members of Congress that supported Jan 6th…. Are we gonna let them still keep their positions >
  
  "resurgent Democratic spirit"... After the president takes away railways workers' most effective non violent means of protesting poor working conditions. After the president tells America to stay home and be safe during this storm... But check with your boss first. After Congress declines to vote on whether or not they should be allowed to trade stocks with their vast insider knowledge. And we all know this list is never ending. Trump's out of office. Great. Now we can go back to "democracy". >
  
  Seriously. Such a loaded word
