IS IT OKAY TO COME OUT OF OUR BOMB SHELTERS? – AT 11:30 P.M. ET:    I really hope so.  I mean, wasn't this the day – March 4th – when the Trump hordes, aided by the Ku Klux Klan and led by Robert E. Lee, were going to storm the Capitol again?  Don't be deceived by the fact that only four people showed up.  Obviously, they were an advance guard, or scouts.  Nancy Pelosi had surrounded the Capitol with National Guard troops, and the House went out of session, the better to be protected from the insurrection.

Stonewall Jackson was spotted near the Kennedy Center. 

Some swear that Lincoln's statue was singing "Dixie."

Oh, they'll be back, undoubtedly with chemical weapons cooked up in the kitchens of Trump hotels and golf courses. 

This is from USA TODAY, some hours ago:

WASHINGTON – The House left town early, the Senate continued to debate a $1.9 trillion bill for coronavirus relief and U.S. Capitol Police braced for a potential security threat Thursday as a possible follow-up to the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The House moved up its voting on a measure to overhaul policing to late Wednesday, after Capitol police alerted to a potential security threat. The police released a statement warning of a “possible plot to breach the Capitol by an unidentified militia group.” Downtown businesses have warned tenants about potential protests.

March 4 has been highlighted by the debunked QAnon conspiracy theory as an inauguration day for former President Donald Trump to return to office. March 4 was the date presidents were inaugurated until the 20th Amendment to the Constitution was adopted in the 1930s.

"The USCP is steadfast in ensuring that an incident of this nature will never occur again, especially with the realization that the possibility of a similar incident occurring in the current environment is a very real and present danger," acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman told lawmakers Wednesday.

FBI Director Christopher Wray warned Tuesday that the problem of domestic terrorism has been metastasizing, and “it’s not going away any time soon.”

COMMENT:  I wonder if he includes left-wing terrorism in that assessment.  I'm not sure he does.
