@snood,

Capitol Police ordered evacuations of two Capitol campus buildings — the Library of Congress James Madison Memorial Building and the Cannon House Office Building, both just across Independence Avenue from the Capitol. Rep. Elaine Luria (D-Va.), whose office is in the Cannon building, tweeted “I just had to evacuate my office because of a pipe bomb reported outside.”

Anyone else noticed how commonly these MAGA types yell out, "You pussies!"

Is there a psychoanalyst in the house?

The sort of pretense as a marketing gimmick I mentioned earlier is glaringly evident in McConnell's speech today.

And the next time we hear anyone doing the "both sides" gambit, let's feed them to crocodiles.

Sen. Ted Cruz says there is a "great deal of moralizing" from "both sides." He says that both sides should show "a bit less certitude."

(One side is factually saying the election was fair and factually saying the winners are the winners. The other side is making things up.)

CNN saying there are already thousands of people who have stormed through barricades into areas where it is illegal for them to be and yet, a negligible police response. A couple of canisters of tear gas into the crowd, but lackluster pushback from law enforcement.

I know everyone doesn’t need to hear this, but if this was black people protesting, there would be violent arrests and an overwhelming police presence.

<edit> Now some protesters are inside the building.

@Region Philbis,

Smoke explosives (The explosives, which released a green irritant, made protesters cough.)

@Walter Hinteler,

More police just showed up. After there are already protesters inside the building.

They need to clear this crowd out of there. This is bad.

Trump could call them off with a couple of tweets. He incited this, and he’s loving it.

U.S. Capitol Police said no entry or exit is permitted in the buildings within the Capitol Complex. “Stay away from exterior windows, doors. If outside, seek cover,” police said.

There have been reports of flashbang grenades being used. Perhaps the reporter confused those as gunfire? Or not?
