WATCH: House GOP launches new probe of Jan. 6, starting with police response to pipe bombs
House Republicans are launching a vast reinvestigation of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, seeking to push the blame away from Donald Trump, who has been indicted over his actions or his supporters in the mob siege trying to overturn the 2020 election.

Reporter Sarah D. Wire’s first-person account of the U.S. Capitol riot had me reliving the terror, disbelief and disgust that many Americans experienced on Jan. 6, 2021.
I say “many” because — impossible as it sounds — a large number of this country’s citizens do not believe what took place was an actual coup-driven attack on the seat of our nation’s democracy.
Meanwhile, a few pages away in a photo appearing in the same day’s newspaper, there he sits, the man responsible, as i…

Inside the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection
Three years ago, Times reporter Sarah D. Wire wrote about her experience inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Now, with the aid of surveillance footage recently made available by the House and additional firsthand accounts, Wire provides a more expansive view of that day.

Why Does Nobody Want 28-Year-Old Pro Bowler?
Free agent wide receiver Hunter Renfrow has yet to draw much interest on the open market.

Appearing in all 17 games, Renfrow finished the season with 103 receptions for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns on 128 targets. With his help, Vegas made it to the playoffs as the wide receiver earned a spot on the Pro Bowl roster. Unfortunately, the w…

We show that the origin of the antiferromagnetic coupling in spin-1 triangulene chains, which were recently synthesized and measured by Mishra et al.

This process, mediated by inter-triangulene states, opens the possibility to control parameters in the effective bilinear-biquadratic spin model.

Continuing to reshape their front seven, the Vikings have a deal in place with Jerry Tillery.  The former first-round defensive tackle is set to join Minnesota on a one-year deal worth up to $3.25M, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Tillery had an underwhelming start to his career with the Chargers, despite seeing a full-time starting role in 2020 and 2021.  The 27-year-old saw his workload cut the following season, and he was ultimately waived midway through the 2022 campaign.

Back in September 2021 there was a shortage of petrol “at the pumps” which resulted in people using up their remaining fuel driving around looking for petrol stations with availability. Some were checking the “busy” signifier in Google Maps for possible clues, Waze was crowd-sourcing the info.
Government currently has a consultation for publishing petrol prices as Open Data, but there’s nothing about publishing *availability*.
