The Waukesha Police did a short briefing before 7 p.m. local Wisconsin time telling the press that they have a "suspected vehicle" and a "person of interest" involved in mowing down attendees of the city's holiday parade.

Police Chief Daniel P. Thompson confirmed at least 20 people were injured and likely more. Videos show a chaotic scene as the injured lay on the road and community members raced to help.

Local reporters revealed that at least 30 are injured after a red SUV plowed through the crowd at the annual Waukesha Holiday Parade.

City cameras show the car as it raced down the street of the parade route. Another person was filming from the side of the parade as it raced past one group in the parade. There were audible gasps and boos but it wasn't until it raced through an intersection that people were hit.

The annual Waukesha Holiday Parade came back after the COVID lockdowns kept people from gathering in large groups. This year, the parade was back, but it has ended in tragedy.

According to Milwaukee Journal Sentinel intern, Kaylee Staral, the scene was absolute chaos. Police told the crowd to get down as they were fearful it was part of a mass shooting as well. There isn't evidence to confirm that, however. Videos don't show any gun firing out of the car, but the police chief said that an officer did fire on the vehicle and hit it once.

It has only been a few days since Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted by a Wisconsin jury. Those angry about the verdict took to the streets and have continued to stage protests across the country.

Along with one of those protests in Chicago came large guns. A video shows two men dressed in all black and tactical gear carrying long guns walking beside and leading the protesters' march in the streets. Instead of being foes, these gunmen were there to protect the protesters from people like Rittenhouse being in a position to shoot them again.

While OJ Simpson was acquitted of killing his ex-wife and her boyfriend, the families of the two victims sued Simpson for the slaying. The requirements necessary for a civil case that would hold Kyle Rittenhouse accountable are much lower than a criminal murder trial.

Rittenhouse has accepted donations from many different sources, and now that he has been acquitted, GoFundMe has agreed to put his legal defense fund back on the site. That could help provide the millions necessary to pay to the families of his victims.

Former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi tweeted about an analysis of the tweets from the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse came largely from outside of the United States.

Figliuzzi said that the researchers took a sample of 32,315 pro-Rittenhouse hashtag tweets on Nov 19-20. The data showed 29,609 tweets came from Twitter accounts that disabled geolocation. "Of those, 17,701 were listed as "foreign", but a deep scrub revealed most of those were in Russia, China, and the EU," he said.

In a long-ranging interview with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, ABC15 questioned her opposition to the infrastructure package before it was finally passed.

Sinema is already taking credit for working "so hard" to ensure the infrastructure package passed. The reality is that the hard work had to do with others convincing her to vote for the law. The initial law requested $3.5 trillion, but Sinema demanded it be reduced significantly. She then grew furious that passing the bill was taking too long.

The Capitol Police are still understaffed, but they're being inundated with more threats after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. According to documents requested by NBC News, the police unity will likely reach 9,000 total threats in 2021.

To put that in context, there were 8,600 threats in 2020, and in Donald Trump's first year in office, 2017, the Capitol police charted and investigated only 3,900 threats.

Before leaving the White House in Jan. 2021, former President Donald Trump issued his own payback for former special counsel Robert Mueller by appointing his own special counsel to investigate Mueller's investigation.

John Durham, the man chosen for the job, appears to be having a difficult time finding any significant problems.

The Washington Post gave an update on the case that Donald Trump's special counsel has been investigating for a year and a half.

Just a few months ago special counsel John Durham indicted Michael Sussmann, a lawyer alleged to have "lied to the FBI in 2016" when it was discovered a server in Trump Tower was found to be communicating with Alfa Bank in Russia.

Julius Jones was scheduled to be killed at 4 p.m. Thursday, but Gov. Kevin Stitt (R-OK) has commuted the sentence, according to Politico reporter Jonathan Lemire.

Students across the state were staging walkouts in protest of the execution. Events happened at Moore High School, in Del City, Tulsa and the University of Oklahoma.

Mellissa Carone, Rudy Giuliani's star witness in the Michigan state Senate voter fraud hearing, may not have participated in the electoral process herself.

According to Michigan's Gongwer News Service, Carone didn't even vote in 2016 or 2020. Addressing the hearing, Carone said that she worked for Dominion Voting Systems. Dominion filed a cease and desist to demand she stop lying about her account.

It turns out that having nearly 500,000 Telegram QAnon followers isn't helpful in fundraising for congressional campaigns.

Vice News revealed that Q facilitator Ron Watkins, who became a MAGA influencer after spreading conspiracy theories, hasn't raised a cent since announcing his run for Congress in Arizona last month.
