No sign of unrest in Washington tonight as the city remains locked down ahead of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration. Via several reporters here at @CourthouseNews. Some photos inside and in this thread🔽

.@JackRodgersCNS & I walked all over D.C. today looking for protests. Instead, we found a city fortified and largely locked down after the insurrection and ahead of @JoeBiden's inauguration.
That's the White House hiding all the way back there behind all the barricades.

While we didn't see any of Trump's supporters downtown today, we did find Black Lives Matter Plaza, joyous and defiant, with music playing and signs protesting the outgoing twice impeached president with some colorful language.

The nation's capital was quiet today, crawling with SUVs carrying Secret Service, LEOs of, presumably, every stripe, Nat'l Guard keeping watch. A ghost town mostly boarded up. The 1A Zones empty today. The message is clear: Trump lost.
What was most striking about it was how utterly empty but orderly it all felt, looked, sounded. Our press badges got us through many barricades, thankfully, but even we were limited to where we could go near the Mall. But the streets were ours. w/@JackRodgersCNS
It is a strange, weird, promising, beautiful, scary time to be covering these winds of change, folks!
That's a wrap for me today. See you for inauguration coverage live next week.
