WASHINGTON - The metal fencing and concrete barriers that encircled the Capitol after a mob of Trump supporters stormed the complex on Jan. 6. gave way Saturday to an open plaza filled with families lounging on picnic blankets, dogs on leashes and visitors in sunglasses and hats.

WATERTOWN â City firefighter Greg French barely got in the front door of a Scio Street home early Friday morning when he found himself bringing little Avril Sanford into the world.
Mr. French and colleagues Acting Captain Pat Lyon and Eric Hoselton on Engine One were just finishing up their 10-hour shift when a call came in at 6:20 a.m. Friday for âa pregnant woman.â
It ended up a morning that the 14-year veteran firefighter might never forget.
Within a few short moments, he found himself delivering a baby while mother Kristen Sanford laid on the living room floor during the unexpected birth.
