OCTOBER 14, 2021 THE BIG STORY
100 Capitol rioters have pleaded guilty. Here's what they did and what they're facing. BuzzFeed News; Department of Justice; FBI It's been nearly ten months since the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection. Just this past Wednesday, Jenny Cudd — best known for Facebook livestreaming her experience after the Capitol riots — became the 100th person to plead guilty for her involvement that day.
One hundred may seem like an enormous amount of people involved in storming the US Capitol and threatening lawmakers' safety, but it may be just the start of the charges against rioters. Prosecutors haven't announced a target date for when the investigation will end, and HuffPost recently reported that as many as 2,000 people are estimated to have made it inside the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Today, the first 100 plea deals represent a unique look at how the US is holding rioters accountable — many of whom were originally allowed to walk away from the Capitol and go home without immediate consequences.
STAYING ON TOP OF THIS
Reading between the lines of plea deals in the Capitol riot Sen. Ed Markey urges his colleagues to fund climate programs at a recent press conference at the US Capitol. Win Mcnamee / Getty Images BuzzFeed News is publishing a database of the hundreds of pages of documents filed in connection with the first 100 guilty pleas in connection with the Capitol riots.
They detail what rioters are willing to admit they did, what charges prosecutors have been willing to drop (or not) in exchange for a plea, how much money defendants are required to pay to cover damage costs to the Capitol, and generally paint a broader picture of the investigation's status as a whole.
SNAPSHOTS
A Black trans Hamilton cast member has filed a discrimination complaint against the show. After requesting a gender-neutral dressing room, performer Suni Reid's contract was not renewed, a move they believe was in retaliation for speaking out on issues they were facing.
Five people were killed in a bow-and-arrow attack in Norway. Authorities have arrested the suspect in question, and believe he acted alone.
A judge urged the Justice Department to investigate jail conditions for Jan. 6 defendants. Defense attorneys for incarcerated Capitol rioters are alleging mistreatment by jail staff, unsanitary conditions, and an overuse of solitary confinement.
THE BEST WAY TO REDUCE COVID RISK IS VACCINATION
If you take ivermectin for COVID-19, here's what happens to your body BuzzFeed News; Getty Images Ivermectin, a drug best known for getting rid of parasites in animals and humans, has not been proven as an effective treatment against COVID-19. While some research in 2020 suggested ivermectin might be useful against COVID, public health experts agree that those results haven't stood up under scientific scrutiny.
In fact, some studies supporting ivermectin were "very flawed or even fraudulent," according to critical care physician Dr. Joseph Khabbaza. Even one of the drug's main manufacturers, Merck, stated that there's "no meaningful evidence" to suggest ivermectin works to treat or prevent COVID.
And yet, due to a maelstrom of COVID misinformation, demand for the drug is skyrocketing. The CDC reported that US prescriptions for ivermectin increased at least 24-fold in 2021. People have swallowed potentially toxic and lethal doses of the drug meant to be injected in or poured on cows, sheep, or horses.
WISH I LEARNED THIS IN 7TH GRADE
Breaking news: This tampon designer is actually thinking about the shape of people's vaginas According to menstrual mythology, the modern tampon was created in the 1920s by a man named John Williamson, who stuffed a condom with cotton-like filling. Hmm.
A century later, Nadya Okamoto, the founder of period care company August, aims to offer tampons with a vagina-forward design. Unlike most tampons, which open cylindrically and overlook how most vaginas widen toward the cervix, Okamoto's period products expand axially to reduce pressure on users' vaginal walls.
But the purpose of August isn't just to make more practical tampons — their products are part of a larger mission to destigmatize talking about periods and reproductive health, says Okamoto.
