i asked google if the insurrection meeting was held in the basement today.
I thought I had heard it on TV a bit ago but was not sure.
What a disgrace Speaker Johnson is!!
was the insurrection meeting held in the basement today?
AI Overview
On the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack (today, January 6, 2026),
House Democrats held an event in a Capitol basement conference room, not an "insurrection meeting".
The event was a forum where dozens of Democratic lawmakers recounted their experiences of the 2021 attack and pledged to never forget the insurrection. The event was held in the basement after the Speaker's office declined requests for a dedicated hearing room or the larger auditorium in the Capitol Visitor Center.
The search results also mention:
During the actual insurrection on January 6, 2021, many senators were hustled into the Capitol basement by police for security.
A plaque commissioned by Congress in 2022 to honor the police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 remains in a Capitol basement utility room in storage, as Republican leaders have reportedly blocked its display.

A PLAQUE COMMEMORATING POLICE OFFICERS WHO DEFENDED THE CAPITOL REMAINS IN A BASEMENT UTILITY ROOM IN STORAGE AS REPUBLICAN LEADERS HAVE BLOCKED ITS DISPLAY. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS VOTED FOR. THEY WORSHIP TRUMP AND PISS ON THE CONSTITUTION BECAUSE THAT IS WHO AND WHAT THEY ARE.

I did a simple Google search.for
democrats house basement
and results from the last 24 hours, and immediately saw a Politico article on the first page of results. Politico is good at reporting this sort of Capitol Hill detail.

It looks like Google's seatch chatbot ripped off Politico, possibly without linking to the article.

Sometime in the future, I hope Mikey gets to experience a case of PTSD from which he never recovers.

(10,669 posts)or some sort of cheating on the Republican's part. When they did not like what was being said at the basement meeting, Republican pig and Wisconsin Kotex heir and nepo baby, James Sensenbrenner, who was chairing the meetng, cut their mikes and shut all the lights off so the meeting had to stop. It was horrible.
Trump keeps mimicking past Baby Bush bad behavior it seems.
