Inauguration is one of those times that federal Washington and local D.C. collide head on, though never so much as this year. Our team at @wamu885news and @DCist has been relentlessly focused on the second half of that equation....

On a bright, cold Saturday, we found a scene that onlookers described as “surreal” and “post-apocalyptic.” One ANC commissioner estimated that troops outnumbered residents five to one. https://t.co/CVYH5gC26E
Residents in the militarized zone described how their lives have been ensnared by the security apparatus. “With the bridges closing out of Virginia, it feels like it’s just us, and the whole world is watching.” https://t.co/HbW2FtOsjm
Speaking of the bridges closing, @JWPascale mapped out the street closures. As Mayor Muriel Bowser put it: “Clearly we are in unchartered waters.” https://t.co/qU9lOPCqsx
All of those closures and new security measures have upended the lives and services of people experiencing homelessness, as @mikafrak reported https://t.co/gl7S8bhsFT
So what is the likelihood of far-right violence? @Curious_Kurz @margaretbarthel @dbonessi spoke to experts who said major crowds are unlikely but there may be diffuse violence. And they warned it could continue well beyond inauguration. https://t.co/oV4SZ6LzF1
Need a drink after all that? True to form, D.C.’s restaurants have stepped up with all manner of inauguration-themed deals and offerings. From @ecwilliams30 https://t.co/OUXqAG0JqB
Speaking of restaurants, a number have donated pizza and other offerings to the thousands of National Guard troops in town. Do they actually need it? @JacobFenston reported on the phenomenon. https://t.co/31lnMj0WUA
Plus, here’s what we know about the scheduled plans for inauguration itself: https://t.co/g0AXGexc0B

More from Government

Caveat: This article is sourced from @Daily_Express !!!

"End of Sturgeon?"

Frankly, an appropriate response from @NicolaSturgeon might be to quote the infamous Mark Twain response to an erroneous 'obituary' known to all...

"The reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated."

https://t.co/Ce1xVVISR2

More accurately, the media have quoted:

"Ms Sturgeon said she had a “real job to do” and was focused on guiding Scotland through the Covid-19 pandemic."

It's very reassuring to hear that @scotgov and @ScotGovFM have prioritised safeguarding lives and Scotland, above all else.

"I’ll leave others to play games or politics. I have got a real job to do and people can decide themselves whether I am doing it well or not, but I am absolutely 100 per cent focused on leading this country through a pandemic."

💯% 😀👍

Making her priorities crystal clear!

“That’s what I’ve done since this time last year and it’s what I’m going to continue to do for absolutely as long as necessary.”

And again, making it absolutely crystal clear!
