An armed mob has stormed the Capitol building.
In the United States. Unbelievable to be writing those words. For those of us who grew up and/or lived under authoritarian regimes this is hauntingly familiar.

Reactions as they are happening:
What we're seeing today is not democracy—it's an attempted coup.
We had a free and fair election. The results were clear.
Republicans from Pres. Trump to PA legislative leaders need to stop the disinformation and tell their supporters the truth before there's further violence.

This is an absolute disgrace. I appreciate the work of the United States Capitol Police under difficult circumstances. I am currently safe as are the few members of my staff that are currently at the Capitol complex.

Update from Casey staff: Senator Casey was the only member of our team in the Capitol complex today. He is safe and taking direction from the United States Capitol Police.

Domestic terrorists are destroying the US Capitol while waving American flags.
This is an attempted coup encouraged by the President.
This is one of the darkest days in American history.
