After inciting mob attack, Trump retreats in rage. Then, grudgingly, he admits his loss. – The Washington Post
«”…everyone knows this was a horrible mistake.”»
Trump’s portrait ABSOLUTELY needs to hang in the White House.

Pelosi calls for Capitol Police chief to be fired; House SAA to resign
«“If Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Stenger hasn’t vacated the position by then, I will fire him as soon as Democrats have a majority in the Senate,” Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement. It’s not unusual for the SAA to be replaced when the Senate majority turns over, but such a strong statement shows how deeply Wednesday’s events are having an effect.»
«Sund, as Capitol Police chief, reports to the Capitol Police Board, which comprises House SAA Irving, Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Stenger and J. Brett Blanton, the Architect of the Capitol.»
Flight attendant union: Capitol rioters should be banned from flights home – The Washington Post

I’m a little surprised the union isn’t making this statement on the basis of simple health, since most (all?) of those rioters aren’t wearing masks.

Rioters Taking Over The Capitol Planned It Online

Truly, our government has a massive blind spot w/respect to white anti-government extremism. This is Reagan’s legacy, Mr. “Gov’t IS the problem”. We need to fix this.
The National Guard should have been in place already, not have a request denied by the Dept. of Defense. DC police budget needs to be increased, not dependent on Congress (which already owes DC $100 million).
«The federal government hasn’t paid its public safety bill in two years, but Bowser says she’s confident that D.C. will be reimbursed.
“The federal government owes us about $100 million,” she said. “We will continue to work with the Congress to make sure we’re made whole for our emergency fund.”

«”How did they not get wind of this?” the official asked. The official said that social media should have been combed for any clues to the group’s movements and intentions and that the rally should have been monitored.
“The number-one job of police commanders,” the official said, “is to make sure officers are safe, and today that didn’t happen.
“This was definitely a planning error. Don’t blame the guy outside the door.”
….
The law enforcement officials asked to remain anonymous because they do not want to be seen as criticizing another agency, not knowing the totality of the Capitol Police’s circumstances.
While order had been restored Wednesday night, police said they are not hopeful that this will be the last violent incident.»
