Today's headlines: The biggest takeaways from last night’s January 6th hearing, which focused on how Trump did not only *fail* tell the mob to go home after 4pm - he *chose* not to. Then, the department of homeland security is conducting a criminal probe into the deleted texts by the secret service, and President Biden tested positive for covid yesterday. Health officials in New York reported its first case of polio in almost a decade yesterday, the DHS under the Trump administration had used mobile location data on a much larger scale than was previously known, and it was revealed that the Trump administration spent years trying to add a citizenship question to the census. Finally, the House of Representatives voted on a bill that would protect access to birth control.
