Now on a press call with Sen. Chris Murphy, chair of Senate-side committee that oversees/funds Cap police. Will share any additional details we learn here, but so far seems like lawmakers have a lot of the same questions we do Murphy said he's had convos with Sergeant at Arms and Chief of Police and has specifically asked Chief of Police about videos of law enforcement moving barriers to allow rioters in.

Rep. Tim Ryan, chair of the legislative approps committee that funds Capitol Police, says during presser he was "livid" that law enforcement "apparently missed this." Says they plan to find out what happened minute by minute and why there weren't proper reenforcements Ryan says about 50-60 officers were injured, and 15 are in the hospital, 1 in critical condition. Said a lot of the injuries are head injuries because the mob of Trump supporters was using lead pipes to hit officers in the head

hawley speaking on the floor and very much winding up to "actually it's patriotic for me to object" so don't get excited about going to bed early i guess with a double-masked mitt sitting right behind him

Electoral college certification has started, and Pelosi right out the gate warns Republicans to social distance and not crowd the floor. This is a joint session, meaning all members of the House and Senate — all 535 of them — are gathered in the House chamber. The official Electoral College votes have been brought in in big boxes.

I’m back out tonight covering the #GeorgeFloydProtests in DC tonight with @ellievhall. A huge group of protesters are marching peacefully toward the Capitol as we head toward the White House. The crowd is as far as I can see down Pennsylvania #DCProtests
