An advisory released Wednesday by the DowntownDC Business Improvement District revealed the complexity of street closures during President-elect Joseph R. Biden’s inauguration along with plans to restrict access to parking lots, loading docks and other locations. The rules go into effect Friday.
The local Metropolitan Police Department also has succinct suggestions for citizens and the sparse populations of visitors who still linger in the city:
“Report suspicious activities. Law enforcement agencies are requesting businesses and residents report any suspicious activities to the MPD. Suspicious activities could include, but are not limited to: graffiti, pamphlets and destruction of items of a political nature. In addition, MPD is requesting property owners preserve video and camera footage to assist in current and future investigations,” the advisory said.

AMY GOODMAN: Well, history is being made today in Washington, D.C., as the House is voting to impeach President Trump for a second time. That’s one week after he encouraged a violent mob to “fight like hell” and attack the Capitol as members of Congress voted to ratify Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory in the 2020 election. The deadly siege so enraged Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell that he’s now reportedly privately backing impeachment, along with a growing number of Republicans, including Congressmember Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the third-ranking Republican in the House. On Tuesday, Vice President Pence rejected a call from the House to invoke the 25th Amendment to the Constitution to remove Trump from office.
