In a video hearing, 51-year-old Iowa man Daryl Johnson and his 29-year-old son Daniel Johnson, of Minnesota, made their guilty plea before Washington, D.C., Judge Dabney Friedrich. The two admitted they had broken into the Capitol through a broken window, pushed officers back and helped let other rioters into the building. Court documents said the two agreed to pay $2,000 each in restitution for the damage done to the Capitol....

Dan Bauman, who had been trying to bring his daughter to Fort Lauderdale High School without a mask in protest of the policy, was arrested Wednesday after allegedly pushing another student outside the school, police said. Over the past few days, the 50-year-old father had been recording his attempts to accompany his daughter to school, Miami TV station WTVJ reported. She was repeatedly turned away. He was outside the high school again on Wednesday morning when another student confronted him, according to police....

Darren Osborne, who also uses the last name McWright, was charged Wednesday with aiding and abetting an offender. He was arrested by St. Paul officers at about 8:30 p.m., according to police. Osborne is also being held on several other warrants for a third-degree assault substantial bodily harm case from 2021, a misdemeanor assault case from 2020, a disorderly conduct case from 2021, and a driving under the influence case from 2017, according to police records....

In the Wake-Up Call piece titled ‘The Holidays Have Never Been the Same’: One Dad on Life After Sandy Hook,’ Barden remembered his seven-year-old son Daniel, and called on everyone to report warning signs of potential school shooters. It is one of the missions of Sandy Hook Promise, an organization he co-founded. “This time of year is now coupled with deep reflection and remembrance,” Barden wrote. “A time where my son will forever be seven years old....

The documents were obtained and released by The Intercept on Tuesday after it launched an FOIA lawsuit. Richard Ebright, board of governors professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Rutgers University and laboratory director at the Waksman Institute of Microbiology, told Newsweek these documents show “unequivocally” that NIH grants were used to fund controversial gain-of-function (GOF) research at the Wuhan Insitute of Virology in China—something U.S. infectious disease expert Dr....

Speaking to Bloomberg’s Balance of Power on Wednesday, Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said he hopes a vaccine will be more than 70 percent effective. However, if its efficacy is slightly lower, at 50 or 60 percent, he’ll consider it “totally value added” if it’s coupled with public health measures. “I’d love to have an 80, 90 percent effective [vaccine],” Fauci said. “But, I’ll feel good about [one that’s 50 or 60 percent]....

The answer is simple: the classified documents were discovered in November by Biden’s lawyers, who promptly informed the National Archives of the finding, making any intervention by the FBI unnecessary. But the crucial differences between the two cases haven’t stopped Trump—and several conservative pundits and MAGA Republicans—from trying to draw a parallel between the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago and the discovery of classified documents at the Washington think tank, dragging the federal law enforcement agency into yet another political dispute....

The FBI was able to find out Gundersen’s name thanks to the jacket which showed the name of his high school—Byram Hills High School in North Castle Township, New York—and his former football jersey number. Tipsters reportedly helped confirm his identity by sending law enforcement officials multiple images of Gundersen wearing the same jacket elsewhere, including with Fox News personalities. Gundersen initially denied being in the Capitol on January 6 and then later said that he had been pushed into the building by other rioters....

Through the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund, the FCC will authorize $163,895,636 to 42 providers across 21 states for new broadband deployments, according to a press release issued by the commission. The program will also ensure the money goes to unserved areas. “More help is on the way to households without broadband,” said FCC Acting Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel. “This is an important program for getting more Americans connected to high-speed internet, and we are continuing careful oversight of this process to ensure that providers meet their obligations to deploy in areas that need it....
