Summary

One year ago today, as the nation watched in disbelief, Trump supporters trampled barricades and stormed the Capitol to stop the certification of President Biden’s election. Insurrectionists scaled walls, occupied Congressional offices, and took over the Senate floor. Meanwhile as police officers battled to bring order, some suffering grievous injuries as a result, staffers and lawmakers sheltered in place, some fearing for their lives. January 6 was a day of violence. It was also a moment of reckoning, and on this anniversary, co-hosts Alexis Madrigal and Ariana Proehl ask where our country is headed. What are your memories of that day? How does our nation heal and bridge its many divides? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
