Arrests at @lisamurkowski’s office, another #KillTheBill sit-in. Police already pushing people back.

“No Jones, no vote!” They want the tax bill held until Doug Jones is in. Police warn they’ll all be arrested if they keep chanting. #KillTheBill

Now at @JerryMoran’s office. “Senator Moran, you have the power to save lives in Kansas. If this bill passes, Kansans will die.” #KillTheBill

About two dozen people sitting-in outside @JerryMoran’s office. Police moving in as they tell their stories. #KillTheBill

More warnings from the police they’ll arrest everyone, not just the sit-in. They’re chanting back “arrest the lobbyists!” #KillTheBill

An activist had a closed-door meeting with @SenatorCollins. When she didn’t commit against the bill, they immediately started a sit-in. #KillTheBill

Earlier. A Capitol officer threatens to arrest everyone because they’re “talking louder than a tourist” while sharing personal stories. #KillTheBill

Same officer pulled a woman out of the crowd later for “failing to cease and desist” from chanting. #KillTheBill
