Today on Velshi, the case is mounting that the insurrection did not end when the government

retook the Capitol on January 6th. The attack on American democracy is still being plotted,

blog or Trump's national security briefs? Trump's $10 trillion hot take also wasn't posted on Facebook

or Instagram because he's banned from those platforms, and he will remain so until at least

January of 2023. That's according to a new decision from the self-aggrandizing social media

company Facebook, which also revealed yesterday a new policy with, quote, heightened penalties for
