@benrileysmith The plaque beside the Lincoln statue commemorates the union soldiers who were stationed in the capitol in April 1861 to prevent a southern incursion into capital. The dome was under construction at the time. Regardless, an unfortunate bit of historical symmetry.
Not surprisingly, my most viral tweet to date is a random fact about the U.S. capitol. I'm more of a social media influencee than influencer.
Isn't it surreal how the U.S. House *again* impeached a sitting president - for the second time in 55 weeks - and the collective reaction of most is a shrug? This is a very historic event and most everyone is numb to the profound events we are witnessing. Wow.
A must read.

George Hill on the NBA’s revised protocols: “They can't tell me I have to stay in a room 24/7. If it's that serious, then maybe we shouldn't be playing.”
He's not wrong.

Alexandria Vice Mayor @EBP4Delegate Announces Candidacy for House of Delegates District 45 (The incumbent, @DelegateMark, is running for LG but has said he's not resigning from the House of Delegates.)
I fully support Delegate Levine's move up or move out strategy and hope he won't jump back in the race for his old seat when he continually polls < 2% for LG.

Biden agriculture secretary nominee Tom Vilsack scored $150k in Powerball winnings last year!
Due to his lottery winnings (and his salary), Tom Vilsack is not eligible for SNAP.
I take any journalist unseriously who said some guy had his feet on Speaker Posi's desk. I'm certain her desk is larger than mine and has fewer manilla folders strewn about.

A deep dive into 50 years of Robert Caro’s research, and a visit to his austere office, reveal how the author of “The Power Broker” and a multivolume biography of LBJ became the superstar chronicler of 20th-century America.
The biggest takeaway from this story is that Caro has spent most of the last year rewriting one section of this book. My new ETA for Volume V of the LBJ series is 2025.
I've always hated when Dick Durbin stares into the CSpan camera when speaking on the Senate floor. Now I note that Josh Hawley does the same.

The same House chamber doors where the armed standoff took place hours ago is being cleaned for members to return for the joint session:
If you need your spirit uplifted, then you should watch President-Elect Biden's address. A forceful denunciation of violence and an appeal to our better angels are exactly what we all need to hear now.

Like this protestor in the U.S. Senate chamber, our democratic processes feel like they are hanging by a finger at the moment.
My Lord.
