January 6 Committee to Hold Hearing Next Week

By Leave a Comment

“The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol last year has called its next hearing for July 12 where it is expected to lay out evidence on how the pro-Trump mob was organized, assembled and financed,” USA Today reports.

“The public hearing, the panel’s seventh, is set for 10 a.m. ET.”

New York Times: “It is expected to be led by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL) who plan to chart the rise of the right-wing domestic violent extremist groups that attacked the Capitol and how Mr. Trump amassed and inspired the mob. The panel also plans to detail known links and conversations between political actors close to Mr. Trump and extremists.”

You’ll Really Hate How Scammers Get Your Number

In politics, nothing is more valuable than voter data. Scammers know that too. They’re not guessing your number — they’re buying your personal information from the same kinds of data brokers that fuel political targeting. Your phone, your email, even the clues about your habits and interests… all of it gets packaged, sold, and used to come after you.

Incogni cuts off that pipeline. It automatically forces data brokers to delete your information, shutting down the lists scammers rely on. Think of it as your own personal opposition-research blackout: once you’re off their rolls, you’re a much harder target.

If they can’t find you, they can’t scam you.
