This is good and prudent. I would also just note that the U.S. Capitol Police are armed. It implies Democrats are prepared to used armed force to resist unlawful political arrests by the executive branch.
Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families."

Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.
