The United States Capitol Police is deeply saddened by the off-duty death on January 9, 2021, of Officer Howard Liebengood, age 51. He was assigned to the Senate Division, and has been with the Department since April 2005. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and...

Thank you! The Act does not prevent the Army National Guard or the Air National Guard under state authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within its home state or in an adjacent state if invited by that state's governor. Washington D.C. does not have a governor, but it has a...

Let me explain the simile further. Prohibiting large events when the pandemic started has not stopped it from spreading, but it has slowed it down. Depriving conspiracy theorists of platforms where they can reach a large group of people quickly does the same for conspiracy spread: it doesn't...

the “optics” of soldiers inside the Capitol building was not something they wanted, Soldiers go to war, police apprehend criminals. If you defend the Capitol with soldiers, you are sending the message that this is a civil war. If you send police, you are sending the message that the rioters are...

3. ... Because of these safeguards, there are mountains of direct evidence that conclusively disprove Powell’s vote manipulation claims against Dominion—namely, the millions of paper ballots that were audited and recounted by bipartisan officials and volunteers in Georgia and other swing states...

To be clear, we are not debating whether some rioters had plans to injure or kill members of Congress. The mob chanted "hang Mike Pence" at some point. I'm just saying that they didn't bring these zip ties to the riot. Why not? If they were fighting together initially, and thereby happened on a...

We knew we had to finish that night. It was never a question of if—it was how. That’s part of my job. I can’t really get into this, but we have alternatives to the House chamber, if we need them. This reinforces my impression that this was an intelligence failure, not a security failure. They...

This is an eyewitness account by Keith Stern, the floor director for Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Capitol police decided we’re evacuating. They opened one of the doors into the Speaker’s lobby and started pushing people out. But up in the gallery there’s no easy way out. It’s literally like an...

It turns out Trump made another call to Georgia 9 days before his conversation with Brad Raffensberger and Ryan Germany. President Trump urged Georgia’s lead elections investigator to “find the fraud” in a lengthy December phone call, saying the official would be a “national hero,” according to...

On whom? The senate had been evacuated. We have heard no reports of hostages having been taken.

Because on the gun range, a shot to the shoulder of the target is from head-on and not from the side. It's a failure of the imagination. Source: https://tacticaltargetsystems.com/concepts-designs/
