Something I want to hear more about was the DOJ's decision under Garland not to go after members of congress involved in January 6. I think this was probably a political decision and probably doomed the entire accountability project.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse asked Pam Bondi about DOJ's decision to drop the investigation into Tom Homan.
MSNBC first reported that Homan was recorded in Sept. 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover FBI sting.
Bondi refused to answer, then attacked Whitehouse.

I think the answer has to be 'do it anyway'.
If trump refuses to leave the physical property, have the new elected president directly order the secret service to remove trump.
If they refuse to seat new congress people just ignore them and have the person go anyway. So what if johnson says no

Let me be clear: backpay for these workers is required under a federal law I wrote with former Senator Cardin β which Trump signed β during the last Trump shutdown.

A press release dated October 7, 2025, with the headline: βAttorney General Ken Paxton Launches Undercover Operations to Infiltrate and Uproot Leftist Terror Cells in Texas After Increased Political Violence.β The statement claims rising left-wing violence, referencing the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and outlines Paxtonβs directive for undercover investigations. A highlighted quote from Paxton reads: βLeftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people.β The text further accuses the radical Left of fostering political violence, referencing incidents involving Antifa-like groups and a supposed assassin tied to transgender movements. It also notes that President Trump designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, with Paxton vowing sweeping investigations into radical leftist groups.
In a press release, Texas Attorney General calls "transgenderism" a "corrupted ideology" that is "a cancer on our culture."
This is openly genocidal rhetoric about trans people from a sitting AG.
