It's not a report. it's fact. I saw the video. That was CPR.

PBS is reporting that about 500 people were in the building. One 'protester' was interviewed by a PBS reporter and she asked him what he was doing and he said he just wandered around. Then he became bored and came outside again.

Hawley (or his office) has the audacity to fund raise right now.

I don't believe they didn't have violent intent. Their targets were just gone before they got there.

I'm sure that's exactly the term she would have used were they not white. /s

Terrorists seem accurate. 

I agree - just didn't want anyone to think my wording was Pence's wording, since I didn't have an exact quote, so I refrained from any characterization.

PBS now saying six people have been taken to the hospital, unconfirmed.

I see Treason Barbie continues to live up to her name.

I want to say „what is wrong with people?“ but that‘s just too mild a reaction.

do they have enough prison cells for all these people?

[TuringMachine]

CNN is saying at least some law enforcement hav been injured.

Sobering thought: if there is a mass shooting, will there be hospital and ICU beds available nearby?

NoVA likely does. Not sure about MD.

DC farms many to VA.  Yes, there are plenty of cells in VA.

To be honest - I want them airlocked (sorry BSG reference)

Maryland is also sending in state troopers and National Guard as well.

I'm not feeling very charitable, I wish we could lock them all in a small room and let them become another Donner Party.

Larry Hogan is sending LE.

Maggie Haberman is reporting an explosive device at GOP headquarters (?), detonated safely.

ETA - you're all too quick for me!

they broke into Pelosi's office - and left an envelope - that I think said "we will not back down'

VA will pile them 10 to a cell. They don't give a fuck. I'm more in favor of chaining them together and launching them off an aircraft carrier...in port. Some might hit the water, some might go splat across the river, some will get shredded by the shoe. I don't give a fuck. Maybe keelhauling some on a 688 class sub or even a Virginia class...not fucking picky. This is goddamn insane.

PBS reporting that teargas is now being employed inside.
