USA TODAY’s daily news podcast, The Excerpt (formerly 5 Things), brings you a curated mix of the most important headlines seven mornings a week. We also deliver special deep-dive episodes on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons on the most compelling topics in culture, entertainment, sports, politics, and more. Give us fifteen minutes a day, we'll give you all of the headlines, none of the chaos. Hosted by Taylor Wilson and Dana Taylor.
Today, we're bringing you the people who were on the U.S. Capitol grounds as a mob broke into the halls of Congress. Reporters Will Carless, N’dea Yancey-Bragg and Trevor Hughes share the significance of the violence and the police response. Plus, many of President Donald Trump’s social media accounts are frozen and Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock both won Senate runoffs in Georgia, giving Democrats control of the Senate.
