Ray Epps To Be Criminally Charged For Role In January 6th, Blames Tucker
The impending charges were revealed in a Wednesday lawsuit filed by Epps against Fox News, which accuses former host Tucker Carlson of defaming him. "...in May 2023, the Department of Justice notified Epps that it would seek to charge him criminally for events on January 6, 2021—two-and-a-half years later," reads the filing. "The relentless attacks by Fox and Mr. Carlson and the resulting political pressure likely resulted in the criminal charges."

And in several more years, some money might get out to some people, whatever's left... Giving Out Billions to Fix Drafty Homes, Biden Has to Make a Difficult Choice
The Biden administration is preparing to grant states $4.3 billion to give to homeowners for heat pumps, thicker insulation and other renovations to keep homes from wasting energy. The Department of Energy is set to detail as early as this week how it wants state energy offices to spend the unprecedented billions. Depending on how federal regulators write the guidelines, the rules will likely either stack the deck for the less effective but easier-done status quo approach or make, the more potent but harder-to-get-started method simple enough to be the obvious priority for state regulators.

Secret Service to brief House committee on cocaine found at White House.
Officially they deny it, but they're publicly flaunting it: We are in control, we say what is a crime or not, we say what is the truth or not, and you can't do a thing about it, Peasant Scum.
This is how revolutions start. Hopefully.
