TOP NEWS PRO-TRUMP MOB Rioters egged on by prez force lawmakers into hiding during ceremony to affirm Biden’s victory

BY LISA MASCARO, ERIC TUCKER AND MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press WASHINGTON — A violent mob loyal to President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Cap- itol on Wednesday and forced lawmakers into hiding, in a stunning attempt to overturn Amer- ica’s presidential election, undercut the nation’s democracy and keep Democrat Joe Biden from replacing Trump in the White House. The nation’s elected representatives scram- bled to crouch under desks and don gas marks, while police futilely tried to barricade the building, one of the most jarring scenes ever to unfold in a seat of American political power. A woman was shot and killed inside the Capitol, and Washington police said three others died of medical emergencies. The rioters were egged on by Trump, who has spent weeks falsely attacking the integrity of the election and had urged his supporters to descend on Washington to protest Congress’ formal approval of Biden’s victory. Some Republican lawmakers were in the midst of raising objections to the results on his behalf when the proceedings were abrupt- ly halted by the mob.

Jeff Merkley, D- Ore., the ballots likely would have been de- stroyed by the protesters. The woman who was fatally shot was part of a crowd that was breaking down the doors to a barricaded room where armed officers stood on the other side, police said. She was struck in the chest and sent to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. Officials believe she was struck by law enforcement but were investigating. Trump supporters posting on internet fo- rums popular with far-right fringe elements celebrated the chaos. Messages posted on one turned from profane frustration over the content of Trump’s speech to glee when supporters stormed the building. At least one leading figure was livestreaming video from inside the Capitol during the siege. The mob’s storming of Congress prompted outrage, mostly from Democrats but from Republicans as well, as lawmakers accused Trump of fomenting the violence with his re- lentless falsehoods about election fraud. Sev- eral suggested that Trump be prosecuted for a crime, which seemed unlikely two weeks from when his term expires. “I think Donald Trump probably should be brought up on treason for something like this,” Rep. Jimmy Gomez, D-Calif., told reporters. “This is how a coup is started. And this is how democracy dies.” Sen.

TOP NEWS ANARCHY IN D.C. Illinois Reps. Kelly, Quigley and Schneider trapped in House gallery during ‘scary’ insurrection

In a day to live in infamy, as Congress started counting Electoral College votes to finalize Joe Biden’s presidential victory, President Donald Trump, declaring war on the peaceful transfer of power, encouraged protests in the streets of D.C. — and a mob ended up storming the Capitol. There wasn’t enough security on hand to prevent invaders from gaining entry to the Capitol easily — too easily — and these domestic terrorists roamed through the building with little resistance, entering the House andSenate chambersand other offices and halls. In other years, counting the Electoral Col- lege votes is ceremonial.

BULLS NOTEBOOK Tumult at the U.S. Capitol dismays Donovan BY JOE COWLEY, STAFF REPORTER [email protected] | @JCowleyHoops Coach Billy Donovan said there were no discussions with his players about sitting out the game against the Kings on Wednesday in the wake of the deadly riots at the U.S. Capitol. But Donovan did have some important conversations with his coaching staff and players about a day he deemed “disappointing for our country.’’ “Obviously, I think it just goes to show that we still have a long way to go as a country,’’ Donovan said in a Zoom call. “[I’m] certainly extremely disappointed with what took place. ‘‘With a back-to-back and film, staff meetings, players, I haven’t seen enough television or read enough, but obviously I was updated on the events by staff and coaches and players. “I thought the players in the bubble did a really, really good job in just bringing awareness to a lot of the social-injustice issues that we need to address and get better at. This is a situation where we’ve got to be better. ‘‘There are times we feel like we make some steps moving forward, and there are other times, things that happen here are disappointing for our country, and it shows we still have a ways to go. The only way we’re going to move forward is if we move forward together. Events like that don’t allow us to do those things.’’ NBA players were front and center when it came to social-justice issues, especially when the 2019-20 season resumed in Florida. One player who stepped forward was Chris Paul, whom Donovan coached in the bubble when he was still with the Thunder.

We were 16-17 games into that year [and] still figuring out, ‘OK, he likes this play’ or ‘No, he doesn’t like this play’ as we were going through the games. So the trust factor in some concepts, youmight not have [had] like you do right now.” That trust goes two ways — Trubisky’s trust in what Nagy is doing. And Nagy’s trust in what Trubisky is thinking. Trubisky indeed has come a long way in that department. Many of the tweaks that invigorated the offense since he replaced Nick Foles as the starter in Week 12 were “things I’ve been asking for,” like moving the pocket and involving rookie tight end Cole Kmet, running back Da- vid Montgomery and wide receiver Allen Robinson more. It’s still Nagy’s offense, but Trubisky has a much bigger hand in how it’s run these days. And Trubisky made it clear Wednesday that he wants Nagy to go for it Sun- day in the Bears’ wild-card playoff game against the Saints at the Mer- cedes-Benz Superdome. The Bears’ version rate effectively was 73.3% best hope for an upset is to put as (11-for-15). much pressure on the Saints as pos- As the quarterback of a 10-point sible.

PATRICK FINLEY BEARS BEAT THEIR SPRINGBOARD [email protected] | @patrickfinley Before Drew Brees could win the Super DESPITE SCOREBOARD Bowl, he had to lose at Soldier Field. Almost 14 years ago — and, for the Bears, Bears beat Saints in NFC title game in ’07, but it was New Orleans who’d have lasting success 14 starting quarterbacks and four coaches ago — Brees’ Saints lost the NFC Champion- ship Game 39-14 at Soldier Field. The Bears were headed to the Super Bowl — Virginia McCaskey held the trophy named after her father while the snow poured down on the field — but it was the Saints who laid the foundation for a dynasty. “That was obviously all of our first playoff experiences hereinthe [coach] Sean Payton era ... kinda culminating into that game, which kinda capped off what was a storybook season,” Brees, who was then in his first season with the Saints, said Wednesday. “Obviously, it wasn’t the result we wanted to finish with. And yet I feel like it really paved the way for that 2009 championship and a lot of what we’ve been able to accomplish since then.” If the Bears have their way, the next playoff meeting between the teams — Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome — could be Brees’ last game. He has talked openly of re- tiring after the season. “Honestly, I played the last four seasons as if [each one] was my last,” he said. “As I sit here right now, my approach is very much the same.” Payton swears he won’t use Brees’ future to tug on his players’ heartstrings — “I don’t think that’s where anybody mentally is at, nor would it be something where I’d look at it and say, ‘Hey, let’s go,’” he said — but players are well aware of the circumstances. Brees talked with admiration about the Saints’ ability to finish 12-4 — and get the NFC’s No. 2 seed — despite playing back- ups at almost every offensive position this year. The odds of Brees’ season continuing, though, will improve if he gets two superstar teammates back. Wide receiver Michael Thomas is on injured reserve because of an ankle problem, and running back Alvin Ka- mara is on the NFL’s reserve/COVID-19 list. Both, though, could play Sunday. Saints QB Drew Brees fumbles the ball as he is sacked by the Bears’ Mark Anderson during the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 21, 2007, at Soldier Field.

SPORTS ANOTHER SEASON OF 8-8? NO, TANKS Mired in mediocrity, Bears should consider a different path

ould you rather the Bears had tanked the last two seasons W than gone a combined 16-16? I’m talking about an enthusiastic tanking, with the chance to draft Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence, perhaps the best college quarterback in a generation. I know what you’re thinking: In this scenario, befuddled Bears general manager Ryan Pace bypasses Lawrence and uses the 2021 No. 1 overall pick on North Dakota A&M quarterback Sven Picklesson, who, like his university, doesn’t exist. But for the sake of discussion, let’s pretend that Pace chooses Lawrence. You’d take that outcome, wouldn’t you? A quarterback who can actually complete passes downfield? Me, too. I
