DC @MayorBowser has announced a citywide curfew from 7 PM ET tonight to 6 AM tomorrow. No one allowed to be outside in public places but essential workers & credentialed. Urges all to #StayHome, & stay calm. Behavior is shameful, unpatriotic, & unlawful.

Correction: City-wide curfew in DC starts at 6 PM, not 7 PM. mayor.dc.gov/release/mayor-…
@MayorBowser says people at @uscapitol will be ordered to vacate grounds by "the police."
(I'd like to know WHICH police; @CapitolPolice officers, or @DCPoliceDept?)

DC Police Chief says only "riotous behavior" & assaults on police officers only occurred at the US Capitol. (I suspect there will be complaints & calls around the city tonight. I fear it's going to be a long, dark night here.)
The Mayor of DC is live again.
