Realistically you’ll probably just have to put up with until you can move.

“Luxury” doesn’t mean anything anymore

Most likely just someone not knowing/paying attention to what they were doing. It could be a distress signal, but I feel like there are so many other easier ways to signal distress that this isn’t that, despite that being what it’s supposed to indicate.

That is not the Pentagon. If you are near the Pentagon though there is a Panda Express in the mall at Pentagon city.

I don’t expect it to be near as bad as after George Floyd, but I expect some significant protests. It’s really hard to predict how bad it will be without being able to see the video.

Not fully. You would still need a staff member to escort you up and wait with you in the galleries. If I remember correctly, you also still have to have a Senator bring you up, but they don’t have to stay with you as long as there is a staff member there.

Unless you are fairly important or have a good in with an office, visiting the galleries right now is pretty unrealistic.

Senate staffer here, normally it would be very easy and you could just walk up and get a pass, however they still haven’t fully opened the capitol complex back up from the pandemic so that’s not possible right now. You can still get a tour of the capitol which is really cool, but it won’t take you to either of the galleries. I imagine they’ll open it back up early next year, but it’s not a guarantee. The House is going to push to reopen it but I don’t know about the Senate.

You’re honestly not missing much though. Even when they’re in session it’s usually just a handful of senators in there if even that.
