I always go there when details of a breaking story haven’t come out. Like the Nashville bomber? I learned about his gift to the woman there, before anyone else.

Details of Jeffrey Epstein death? Learned about his cell mate there.

Three heads roll: Capitol Police Chief, House and Senate Sergeant at Arms all QUIT - as it's revealed cops were 'intentionally under-powered to stop bad optics of armed officers'

The chief of Capitol Police, Steven Sund, handed in his resignation on Thursday night
He had been under growing pressure to step aside after Wednesday's riots and will step down January 16
Sergeant at Arms Paul D. Irving - whose job is to protect the House - also stepped down on Thursday
They were both followed out the door by Michael Stenger, the Senate Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper
Nancy Pelosi had called for the resignation of Sund, who became Capitol Police Chief in June 2019
There are only 2,300 Capitol Police officers in total and it's unclear how many work a shift at any one time
DC Mayor Muriel Bowser submitted a request on New Year's Eve for National Guard back up from Jan 5-7
But she was only given 340 troops and was told they'd be used to assist with traffic control
On Thursday she shrugged the blame, saying it was down to Capitol Police to request back up earlier
DC Attorney General Karl Racine said on Thursday morning they'd been 'let down' by federal partners
Eventually, at 3.51pm on Wednesday, 1,100 National Guardsmen were mobilized but by then it was too late
The attempted coup on Wednesday was the first time the Capitol has been breached since 1814
Four rioters died, including a 35-year-old female Trump supporter who was shot by police
One Capitol Police officer is on life support having suffered a stroke, it was confirmed on Thursday night
Only 80 people have been arrested; 289 were arrested on June 1 during the BLM protests
There are now calls for Trump to be removed from office under the 25th Amendment
