Democrats and Republicans in Congress don’t agree on much these days, but putting National Guardsmen out in the cold quickly brought the politicians together late Thursday.

Thousands of the guardsmen who have been protecting the Capitol Complex for more than two weeks since the Jan. 6 riot were told yesterday by the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) to pack up and move out of the area they were guarding. The guardsmen were sleeping and resting at various points around the U.S. Capitol, including in congressional office facilities and the Capitol Visitors Center.
