probably needs its own thread.

Individuals have breached the Capitol building, they're as close as the rotunda, and they're once again telling members to prepare to kneel below their seats, or be prepared to move to the cloakrooms.

“This is what you’ve gotten, guys,” Senator Mitt Romney yelled as the mayhem unfolded in the Senate chamber, apparently addressing his colleagues who were leading the charge to press Mr. Trump’s false claims of a stolen election. https://t.co/Vs7lzMD9QC

Starting to see a lot of "this is antifa posing as maga" tweets trying to false flag it. what a rough ridin' bunch of ingrates

that was the most important building on the planet today and they let a mob walk in. they had weeks of notice and unlimited ability to harden the site with federal troops. the outcome can’t be an accident.

How in holy hell did they not build 15 layers of fencing and security, riot gear up, knowing these idiots were on their way? Oh, weren't protesting Black Lives Matter? Never mind.

That's what's kinda blowing my mind a bit, the effort they put up was pathetic

Honestly. We're in really mumped up territory here.

If this is true, and it is attributable to chain of command, Congress is obliged to impeach and remove the president from office before COB. https://t.co/kmjogZhSgu

We’re in a new location that we’ve been instructed not to disclose.

They are clearing the Capitol.

Assuming all the lawmakers have been evacuated, I agree.

Trump should face charges on Jan. 22.
