  Trump sued by two Capitol Police officers for inciting ‘wild’ insurrection Two members of the United States Capitol Police who were on duty during the Jan. 6 riot sued Donald Trump, accusing him of inciting the violent mob that wounded dozens of officers. The lawsuit, which was filed on Tuesday, comes after two Democratic members of Congress sued Trump for stoking the insurgency in a months-long attempt to overturn his election defeat to Joe Biden. Officers James Blassingame and Sidney Hemby say demonstrators assaulted them with aerosol chemicals that burned their eyes, throats, and skin, like pepper spray and tear gas. According to the lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington, the officers not only sustained physical injuries, but Blassingame has since been suffering from depression since the riot. According to the lawsuit, Blassingame "is plagued by the recollection of being targeted, as well as the sensory impacts — the sights, sounds, smells, and even tastes of the atta

  Trump Facing ‘Criminal Exposure’: Ex-DOJ Official Says Subpoenas Likely Next Donald Trump may be under legal scrutiny from a number of outlets at the same time. On Monday, MSNBC's Ari Melber discussed a Daily Beast report about two grand juries in Georgia looking into the former president's efforts to sway the 2020 election by lobbying state officials to change the outcome. Former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal told Melber, "He definitely is looking at criminal exposure." “Donald Trump is the only president in history who has had more open grand juries than electoral victories.” Grand juries, according to Katyal, are a "very serious prosecutorial measure." The next move could be even more important. “It seems, based on news reports, that they are about to use their investigative powers to subpoena — that is, obtain information from the president,” he explained. Why two grand juries were involved instead of just one, Katyal said, remained a mystery.

  The meaning of Veterans Day Memorial Day, which honors those who died in the service of their country, and Veterans Day, which honors those who have served and continue to serve, are two of the United States of America's national holidays that have particular significance for those who have served and their families. Veterans Day is an opportunity to thank all of those who have served America in war and peace, to express gratitude, and to recognize the sacrifices made in order to protect our country. Veterans Day (no apostrophe) was originally named Armistice Day to mark the end of World War I, according to the defense.gov website. The Treaty of Versailles formally ended the war on June 28, 1919, although the fighting ended about seven months earlier, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
