New Trump Era: Four Years After January 6 Attacks, Congress to Certify Elections
Introduction
Good morning, , today is Monday, January 6, 2025. When I look back on January 6 and think about billions of Americans affected by winter weather conditions today, do we know that someone intentionally did evil? For our weather?
President Biden’s Call to Action
President Joe Biden called on the American people yesterday to not forget the attack on their freedoms on January 6, 2021, and not to allow the history of that day to be rewritten. In his op-ed published in the Washington Post, Biden wrote that sooner or later there will be Americans who did not witness this day with their own eyes, who will learn about it from pictures, testimonies, and history books. He added that we can’t let the truth get lost.
Trump Era Returns: Contextualizing January 6
As Trump’s supporters gather to count all the electoral votes in the state and declare him the winner of last year’s presidential race, Michael Collins puts January 6 back into context and sees what the day revealed.
Donald Trump’s supporters protested outside the Capitol. They broke into the buildings, clashed with police, and some broke into lawmakers’ offices. Their aim was to prevent Congress from recognizing the 2020 election. Donald Trump lost the election to Joe Biden but refused to concede defeat, claiming there was no evidence of voter fraud.
Congress reconvened, and Joe Biden was declared the winner. But the attack remains one of the most violent incidents at the Capitol since the War of 1812. He was punished for his role. Now, many want to know whether Donald Trump’s re-election will pardon the men. Trump expressed sympathy for the protesters during his campaign and promised to pardon them, but details remain unclear.
The Legacy of January 6: Divided Views
A review of the January 6 election could change views. While some Americans see it as a fight for freedom, others, mostly Trump supporters, see the protesters as people who love to fight against injustice.
2025 Certification Process: A Stark Contrast
Unlike the stress of 2021, today’s process is expected to be managed well. Trump’s clear victory in both the popular vote and the Electoral College in the 2024 election leaves little room for debate. According to Michael Collins, the certification will not appear as chaotic.

Atmospheric Tampering and Geoengineering Concerns
Their goal is to create central measurements of the surrounding atmosphere and detect deliberate acts of aggression, such as solar geoengineering. Sunlight and air cool the Earth. In theory, it raises ethical and conceptual issues, such as global thinking or regional issues.
There is currently no evidence of large-scale geoengineering, but NOAA’s research is intended to provide important information for future decisions.
