POTUS also warned against this yesterday.

Do we all really not remember how the mad dash to stock up on TP at the beginning of the pandemic played out?
FWIW: Colonial reported yesterday they expect to be fully back online by Friday.
For consideration: forbes.com/sites/michaell…
If it goes longer than Friday, everyone can come tell me I undersold this later. But I really discourage panic buying as a rule. Pandemic fully traumatized me on that!

Coming up at 3PM ET: Michael Bolton, inspector general for the U.S. Capitol Police, comes back to Congress to offer the latest on his assessment of the 1/6 attack.

Background from when he was here a few weeks ago:
courthousenews.com/capitol-police…
Bolton will say his assessment found deficiencies at USCP ranging from outdated or vague guidance to a failure to report contact from threats to the lack of a counter-surveillance unit and regularly insufficient resources.
US Capitol Police IG Michael Bolton: "In regards to cultural change, we see that the Department needs to move away from the thought process as a traditional Police Department and move to the posture as a Protective Agency"

Good morning. President Biden hits the road to Louisiana today. This afternoon, he'll talk about his American Jobs Plan near the Calcasieu River Bridge in Lake Charles. He's also visiting New Orleans and the Carrolton Water Plant. More later for @CourthouseNews.
Expecting to hear Biden stump for his infrastructure plan today. Get the people on the ground excited, show the condition of roads/bridges, make it undeniable. Perhaps it gets ppl to pressure their lawmakers.

Background on his plan via @JackRodgersCNS:

Related: You may recall the Senate just passed a water infrastructure bill to the tune of $35B. It goes to House next where it must pass for these funds to start flowing.
