Nothing on NBC, MSNBC, CNN, Washington Post or the local DC stations.
Sad to read this and wonder if the danger is from foreign terrorists or Republicans.
Another case of stupendous Trump-inspired stupidity?
Not being reported anywhere else

WASHINGTON (KKTV)
The White House was placed on lockdown early Monday afternoon, but it’s unclear why.
It happened shortly after President Obama returned to the presidential estate.
The Secret Service was investigating a possible threat on the North Lawn.
Users on Twitter report seeing multiple Hazmat trucks outside.
No other information was immediately available.

It’s remarkable that a number of foreign news agencies, British especially, are at least as good if not quite a bit better than American outlets at reporting breaking news quickly. It might not be as important as celebrity recipes for pasta salads you’ll love this summer, but it’s kind of important to know if the First Family is under some sort of threat and what’s going on with that.
May 20th…?
Wapo, p.1
NBC has breaking coverage that Hazmat has just shown up. Bit slow, aren’t they/
Bernie’s trying to get in.
Unless it’s Donald tRump making his next inane comment it won’t sell the Palmolive or pick up truck. So no interest…
More Wapo p.1
I’m curious as to how an unattended suspicious package ends up at the most surveilled building in the US. Does a visitor casually drop it while standing in line? Does some joker run by and huck it over the fence? How does it just appear?
Ooops, sorry.
Mine will be grilled salmon today…
Never mind, question answered with update. Answer: Hucked over the fence! Ding ding ding!
An article from the Times yesterday on the proposed 14-foot replacement for the current fence. As fence jumpings become more common, they’re trying to balance a desire for elegance and historical appropriateness with security concerns and potential negative public perception that the White House is becoming a fortress.
Look, crazy ass ppl, Pres Obama & family will vacate the WH in Jan 2017. Can’t you ppl wait!
Ever play Ultimate?
