Ron Estes (R, of course), said he was surprised this turned violent.

ETA  - and keeps refusing to say whether Trump had anything to do with it.

He also refused to answer if he thinks the elections should be overturned.

[Nothing if not critical]

I am speechless. Somehow I didn't think it would get this bad.

And Judy Woodruff just keeps asking. He sure is a squirmy worm.

And she just had the good grace to say she is very glad he is safe.

My fear past January 20th is that Trump will still never face criminal prosecution.

Ivanka tried to delete that tweet.  And apparently forgot the internet is forever.

Replies are calling for impeachment and 25th. Also that Hawley and Cruz should be expelled.

It's distinctly possible now that Ossoff has won in Georgia.

Where are the National Guard troops?  I know that MD and VA were sending them and the DC troops were finally okayed.  I'm about done with watching the police gently move people along.  No arrests?  What do we need?  Trump and his Bible again??

Oh, great - some that are still in the building say they are planning to stay all night. I guess they still think it's a fun romp, and are now including a sleepover.

They'll change their minds when the tear gas hits them.

I had to turn off Ron Estes because he answered no question straight.

This guy I liked.

What a day for me to be offsite and away from news for hours....can't wait to catch up.

Every single one of you in GA I love you ALL!  And all of your decent fellow citizens, I didn't even dare hope for a win there and now I want to personally hug and cover all of you in big sloppy (but socially distanced) internet kisses.

Words fail me.

I wonder if it has finally dawned on republicans that not only can’t they control Trump, he is planning on taking them out with him. This had to have been scary today. The reality of Trump came and banged down their front door. 

[fraurosena]

That aide deserves a medal.

 

Who is surprised?

[TuringMachine]

13 people have been arrested. Hopefully many more are coming. There were a hell of a lot more 13 people in the building.

Karl Racine, AG of D.C., is calling this the responsibility of Trump, and talking a lot about the contrast between the way this was handled, and the way the street was cleared for Trump's Bible-holding stunt.

So this would seem to be grounds for disciplinary action at the very least.

I am not sure if it is that they decided to let  them push it open instead of them climbing over the barricades, pushing it over and trapping the officers under it?

I can't really see whats happening, but obviously, the police officers are way outnumbered, the might have decided to open it in order not to get trampled?

 

I don't understand why there was not more police there, tbh.. it's not like they didn't know people are coming in today, and that they are insane..?

DC AG is suggesting someone told the federal police not to help local officers with the terrorists.

Unconfirmed report that the Sergeant at Arms has declared all clear.
