Last Saturday, in the middle of the night (4 a.m. to be exact), Republicans finally hung the January 6th plaque inside the Capitol Building. Except there was one tiny issue: The plaque was hung in a private corridor outside of public view, meaning Republicans are still hiding the plaque and what happened on January 6th.
The plaque was required by law to be installed by March 2023, but Republicans have refused.

Former Capitol police officer, January 6th hero, and Siren contributor Harry Dunn joins this episode of Big F*ing Deal to discuss this latest coverup of Jan. 6 by Republicans, and shares his thoughts on this new development.
In addition, writer, attorney, and Siren contributor Kaivan Shroff joins this episode to discuss the latest GenZ/alpha trend of “looksmaxxing,” the new body dysmorphia term being proliferated to young, impressionable, and lonely men by right-wing grifters.
Jo and Tara also discuss Trump’s abhorrent behavior during the dignified transfer of six American soldiers whose lives were taken as a result of Trump’s Iran War. Trump decided to wear one of his own hats, which he sells as merch, during the ceremony. Trump then raised his fist to reporters during what should be a solemn reminder of the costs of war to a president who seems completely detached from reality.
Trump also incorrectly stated that Iran attacked their own elementary school with Tomahawk missiles (which they do not have access to), and proceeded to repeat the lie over and over again when pressed by a brave reporter on the facts. It has been reported that the U.S. was responsible for the attack on the all-girl’s elementary school, resulting in the deaths of over 165 people, mostly children.
Jo and Tara cover all this and more, right here on The Siren Network.
