The Supreme Court seemed divided Tuesday over whether a federal obstruction charge applies to over 350 people involved in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Much of the arguments circled around the scope of the statute.

It was wonderful to hear from @mariaressa at the inaugural Maria Ressa Prizes for Courage in Journalism event yesterday. I’ll be keeping in mind her ending words for us journalists: “move to where things are now, not to where they were.”
