Today was the #ShutdownDC march that threatened to “block key infrastructure” and bring DC to a “gridlocked standstill.” Of course, the best laid plans of mice and children…26 people were arrested, and police cleared most of the roadblocks by early afternoon.

Prior to Roe being overturned, the federal government warned of a potential surge in political violence.
ShutDownDC, a liberal advocacy group in Washington, D.C., said on Friday that it will offer up to $250 to service industry workers in the district for every sighting of the Justices who overturned Roe v. Wade.
Driving The News: This comes just days after Justice Brett Kavanaugh was forced to exit a restaurant in D.C. after abortion rights protesters showed up outside the premises.

What They're Saying: "DC Service Industry Workers... If you see Kavanaugh, Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Coney Barrett or Roberts DM us with the details!," ShutDownDC said in a tweet.
• "We'll Venmo you $50 for a confirmed sighting and $200 if they're still there 30 mins after your message."
• Twitter has not responded on if the tweet from ShutDownDC violates any of its terms of service guidelines.
The Big Picture: Prior to the Supreme Court overturning Roe, the federal government warned that there could be a potential surge in political violence once the ruling was handed down.
Between The Lines: Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice America and the Liberate Abortion Campaign released a statement in late June saying they reject any and all threats of violence that come from the decision, adding that "[t]hey do not speak for us, our supporters, our communities, or our movement."
