Today marks five years since the January 6th riots at the U.S. Capitol. A large group of Trump supporters overwhelmed police and swarmed the Capitol as lawmakers worked to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election. Trump claimed Biden and his supporters "stole" the election, and told his audience gathered at the Ellipse that day, "We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore."        President Trump is predicting a strong outcome for Republicans in this year's midterm elections. He addressed the annual GOP retreat Tuesday at the newly renamed Trump Kennedy Center. This year will be critical for Republicans in the House as they look to keep their slim margin.        Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado says she'll be back in Venezuela soon. Machado left the country last month to accept the Nobel Peace Prize and hasn't yet returned. Now that the U.S. has forcibly removed president Nicolas Maduro in a military operation, Machado told Fox News on Monday that she'll be back to help dismantle what she called the criminal structures of the Maduro government.        Northern California Republican Congressman Doug LaMalfa has died at the age of 65. National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Richard Hudson confirmed the death in a news release. Tom Emmer, majority whip for the U.S. House of Representatives, has also acknowledged LaMalfa's passing on social media.        The son of Hollywood icon Rob Reiner is reportedly no longer on suicide watch ahead of his scheduled arraignment on murder charges. Citing law enforcement sources, TMZ reports Nick Reiner no longer has to wear a suicide-prevention smock at a jail in downtown Los Angeles. Removing the smock is reportedly standard operating procedure when an inmate does not attempt suicide for two weeks.        There's a loaded slate of college basketball tonight with a number of ranked teams in action. Number 18 Louisville will host number six Duke, while number seven Houston will welcome in number 14 Texas Tech. Number one Michigan will hit the road to take on Penn State, while number 20 Georgia will face off against Florida in Gainesville.
