WAR ON DEMOCRACY • On January 6, facing little resistance from law enforcement, radical followers of President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol and disrupted a joint session of Congress to certify the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. A U.S. Capitol police officer died from injuries sustained in the attack; four others died as well. The crowd descended on the Capitol, urged on by Trump and other speakers, including his son Donald Trump Jr. and Rudy Guiliani, the president’s lawyer, who told the Trump crowd: “Let’s have a trial by combat.” Trump and his supporters, estimated in the thousands, had gathered to dispute the results of the November 3 election, which they claim, without evidence, was stolen. Here is the day in pictures.

The Weirdest Finds from Unclaimed Baggage • A new year is all about losing extra baggage, especially with all we had to unpack in 2020, but for Unclaimed Baggage there are treasures to be found in what’s left behind. The country’s only lost luggage store gives new life to misplaced belongings by buying orphaned bags and selling, donating and recycling their contents. A 40,000-square-foot retail center in Alabama and a new online shop feature unclaimed items that airlines have not been able to reunite with their former owners. Some are so unusual and priceless—such as an Amazonian shrunken head and the Hoggle puppet from the iconic film Labyrinth—that they are exhibited in the company “museum,” unavailable for any price. In the last 50 years of reclaiming lost luggage, these are some of the most weird and wonderful treasures left behind.
