Why no mention of Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6? | Letter
Jan. 6, 2026, marked the fifth anniversary of the attempted overthrow of our free electoral process by means of a planned insurrection in the nation’s capital. That event, along with Dec. 7, 1941, and Sept. 11, 2001, marked events that should and do live in the collective memory of all Americans because of their impact, […]
