Boeing to Resume Campaign Contributions to Republicans in "Sedition Caucus"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Chicago police officer who joined the January 6 riot at the U.S.
Capitol has been arrested, becoming the 465th person charged in
connection with the insurrection. Officer Karol Chwiesiuk wore a Chicago
Police Department sweatshirt as he texted selfies of himself breaching
the offices of Senator Jeff Merkley.

Meanwhile, weapons maker Boeing has resumed major campaign contributions
to three Republican congressmembers who voted to overturn the official
certification of 2020's Electoral College votes: Representatives Jack
Bergman, Vicky Hartzler and Steve Scalise. Boeing briefly stopped
campaign contributions in the wake of the January 6 insurrection.
