hmm, CQ Roll Call reporter phoning it in to C-SPAN presenter from unknown location sez, shots have been fired (in or around Statuary Hall). Hand-held vid of tear gas plumes, "protestors" dispersing at leisurely pace around Capitol. uh oh. Sumbuddy tweeted pic of Proud Boy "leader" (who was supposed to have been exiled by D.C.) sitting in House speaker's chair.

"Embedded" CQ Roll Call reporter, Niels, is terrified, but sufficiently coherent to organize a (cell) phone tree with press pool "sheltering in place".

The Hill reporter, Scott Wong, on breach of Capitol as millennials will as video rolls: NEVER seen this level of violence in GENERATIONS, in MODERN HISTORY. .

APsplainin, How sumbuddy secured the Capitol after nearly four hours of violent pro-Trump occupiers' SIEGE. Embedded citizen journalists' spicy phone photos in from the field, begin trickling into social media circulation.

FYI: I quit  C-SPAN coverage of the SIEGE when Greta (C-SPAN presenter) switched to streaming caller comments ~ 4 PM EST. The first clue was quantity tears, sippy cup.

Who didn't see this coming?

@UWMedicine Do you endorse a physician calling for murder and participating in a riot where five people died and they attempted to murder government officials?

More Capitol rioters in viral posts arrested, [Mark Warner, D-VA] urges social media providers to keep data, "carnage" [?!]
ominous invocation of Patriot Act provisions; refinements of national security, enemy noncombatant, trrst activity slithering into first 100 days legislative agenda, Schedule A budgets...  

The made-for-media theatrics on Capitol Hill were not an attempted "coup". Coups are what the CIA stages all over the world. Neither was "democracy" in peril. What democracy? And Trump is no more than a caricature of a system of which Biden, Obama, Bush etc are the embodiment.

Does anyone have any idea where 65-year-olds and older can get vaccinated against Covid in Maryland? They opened the category today and told people NOTHING about where to go. None of this would be happening if Larry Hogan were governor.
