"We are aware of potential protests on Jan. 17. However, we do not share our operational plans."

Atlanta PD:

"At present, there are no verified threats to indicate that violent activity is being planned in the City of Atlanta." ImageImage
Hartford PD:

"[A]long with [CT] Capitol Police, the Hartford Police monitor social media for upcoming events and we are in communication with each other. The Hartford Police Department’s role would be outer perimeter/scan for threats and to assist Capitol Police if necessary." Image

Extraordinary NYT story:

Trump’s DOJ pressured out another US Attorney in WESTERN Virginia for finding that a grand jury probe his bosses demanded was unwarranted.

They wanted a case discrediting the Russia probe — evidence be damned. nytimes.com/2025/10/14/us/…
The ex-U.S. Attorney was a GOP state legislator before taking on that role.

The case "appears to have petered out, at least for the moment," per the Times.
Note: The U.S. Attorney's forcing out happened in August.

The NYT exposed backstory today.

As for the underlying probe, "several people familiar with the work described it as essentially over," per the Times.
