January 6 Commission Blocked

The House passed a bipartisan bill to create a commission on the Capitol attack. In the Senate, Republicans prepared the filibuster.

They argue it’s “partisan.” That’s projection. The reality is simple: a real investigation might name names, trace money, reveal coordination. Better to bury it under “unity” speeches and distractions.

A democracy afraid to examine its own wounds isn’t stable. It’s fragile. Refusing a commission doesn’t erase January 6. It just guarantees the lies keep spreading, unchallenged.
