WASHINGTON (AP) — As it has been for nearly 16 months, longer than any time in the nation’s history, the U.S. Capitol is closed to most public visitors.

The one-two punch of the coronavirus pandemic that shuttered the Capitol’s doors in the spring of 2020 and the deadly insurrection by then-President Donald Trump’s supporters on Jan. 6 has left the icon of American democracy unopen to all but a select few.

A senior Democratic aide, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, said tours have not resumed for both pandemic and security reasons. The House and Senate Sergeants-at-Arms are continually reviewing the situation in consultation with Office of Attending Physician, the aide said.

The Capitol complex is open to official business visitors with limits on the numbers allowed. Most are asked to sign in and provide background information. “The Capitol has now being closed for the longest stretch in its 228 years history,” said Campbell of the historical society.

Vlad Putin and other fascist plutocrats are quite happy with America's divisiveness and isolationism. We need to tear their walls down.

1. Tours Have Not Resumed For Security Reasons

I don't understand?

They had Tours on January 6th, and everything went fine.

2. Fine indeed, just a few deaths and flagrant assaults by good people on both sides?

3. THANK YOU, Trump insurrectionist supporters...

Some of them have the gall to complain about the fences... on Facebook.
