My morning's NY Times newsletter says that "A person with knowledge of the events told Maggie Haberman that Trump had resisted sending in the National Guard even after the Capitol had been stormed and that it had taken intervention from senior White House officials to get those forces ordered into action."

I also found it interesting that it was VP Pence (not one of my favorite guys but an absolute saint in comparison) seemed to be in charge last night with executive decisions regarding law enforcement and military responses to this situation.

The 25th may not be invoked, but there are things happening that suggest it may be, if we read between the lines a bit.
