Five years after the U.S. Capitol riot, Democrats held a hearing to remember the chaos and violence, with over 140 police officers injured and five deaths linked to the event. Trump has pardoned nearly 1600 people involved in the attack, prompting criticism from lawmakers like Veronica Escobar, who described the pardons as a betrayal of the officers who defended the Capitol. Escobar also highlighted the emotional trauma and physical injuries suffered by the officers, some of whom have retired early and still require therapy. The hearing also revealed that some pardoned rioters have committed new crimes. Trump and most Republicans dispute the Democrats account, claiming they twisted the facts and ignored election issues. However, Representative Tony Gonzales from San Antonio voted for the original January sixth commission but remained silent on this hearing. Injured officers face additional challenges, including denial of public safety benefits, forcing some to turn to GoFundMe for help. Escobar vowed to address this injustice and block any compensation fund for rioters, emphasizing the need to protect patriots and uphold truth. Checkout Solipillow.com

The families of Lakeisha Brown, Myunique Johnson, Taylor White, and Breanna Brantley are now suing H-E-B, two of its contractors, and the driver for over one million dollars in damages. The crash occurred when the driver, Guadalupe Daniel Villarreal, failed to control his speed and rear-ended the womens car, causing it to spin out and stop on a grassy median. The women did not survive. The suit names H-E-B, Parkway Transport, Scrappy Trucking, and Villarreal as defendants. H-E-B stresses that Villarreal was a third-party vendor driver, not directly employed by them. Lawyers say Parkway Transport and Scrappy Trucking ignored requests for crash evidence back in November, raising questions about trucking safety and accountability on Texas roads.

Tax Season 2026: ITIN Users Face Potential Loss of Key Credits The upcoming tax season in the U.S. brings extra worry for immigrant families, as proposed rules by the Trump administration could deny key tax credits to those using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). These changes, potentially effective for the 2026 tax year, could impact DACA recipients, mixed-status households, and other ITIN users, who might lose access to credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, and education credits. Last year, undocumented immigrants paid nearly $100 billion in taxes without receiving benefits. Tax professionals advise ITIN filers to still file, as it builds a solid tax record.
