Every one of the armed National Guardsmen deployed around the U.S. Capitol and streets of D.C. to help with presidential inauguration security has already been vetted by the FBI as they look for any potential insider threats, according to defense official.

Security concerns put Washington D.C. on edge as Biden inauguration nears. Up to 25,000 U.S. National Guard troops are being deployed to the city
Today, I was glad to discuss national security issues and how to create an immigration system that works for our communities with President-elect Biden’s nominee for Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Alejandro Mayorkas. ⬇️
Following the riot at the U.S. Capitol, the Standing Committee on Law and National Security spoke with longtime national security professors and practitioners about the different security threats and legal implications of the events of January 6:
The National Guard and other security forces are prominent in Washington DC, as roadblocks are set up ahead of Joe Biden’s inauguration. Officials have authorized around 25,000 troops to assist the Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies to maintain civil order.

Section 230, which is a liability shielding gift from the U.S. to “Big Tech” (the only companies in America that have it - corporate welfare!), is a serious threat to our National Security & Election Integrity. Our Country can never be safe & secure if we allow it to stand.....
I hope House Republicans will vote against the very weak National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which I will VETO. Must include a termination of Section 230 (for National Security purposes), preserve our National Monuments, & allow for 5G & troop reductions in foreign lands!
Very sadly for our Nation, it looks like Senator@JimInhofe will not be putting the Section 230 termination clause into the Defense Bill. So bad for our National Security and Election Integrity. Last chance to ever get it done. I will VETO!
For purposes of National Security, Section 230 must be immediately terminated!!!
Looks like certain Republican Senators are getting cold feet with respect to the termination of Big Tech’s Section 230, a National Security and Election Integrity MUST. For years, all talk, no action. Termination must be put in Defense Bill!!!
John Bolton was one of the dumbest people in government that I’ve had the “pleasure” to work with. A sullen, dull and quiet guy, he added nothing to National Security except, “Gee, let’s go to war.” Also, illegally released much Classified Information. A real dope!
Trump’s personal lawyer: Guilty. Trump’s campaign manager: Guilty. Trump’s deputy campaign manager: Guilty. Trump’s National Security Advisor: Guilty. Trump’s political advisor: Guilty. And now, Trump’s chief strategist: Indicted. A pattern of lies, graft and corruption.
The Democrats and President Obama gave Iran 150 Billion Dollars and got nothing, but they can’t give 5 Billion Dollars for National Security and a Wall?
