The U.S. marks one year since the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol attack. In the year since, Congress continues to be deeply divided.
Rather than a national crisis that pulls the country together, the deadly riot on Jan. 6, 2021, only seems to have pushed lawmakers further apart.
Some members are planning to mark the anniversary of the Capitol insurrection with a moment of silence. Others will spend the day educating Americans on the workings of democracy. And still others don't think the deadliest domestic attack on Congress in the nation's history needs to be remembered at all.
Where they stand on remembrance can be largely attributed to their political party, a jarring discord that shows the country's lawmakers remain strikingly at odds over how to unify a torn nation.
Here's what lawmakers are doing to remember Jan. 6, 2021 (All times are EST):
