I watched two of Penguin Six's Youtube updates re DC (He's a kindly leftie on a bicycle). He tours the area and orients people to the ebb and flow of motorcades, and observations at the Capitol, monuments, embassies etc.
On the 29th, I thought his video captured some quiet anomalies that may mean nothing, but he did joke that it was apparently a 'Secret Service birthday party' and noted they were everywhere, heavy presence, also captured a group of men dressed in street wear walking up the street carrying 'gear'. I seem to recall having seen that before and for whatever the prior ocasion was, some thought it was more discrete than having troops arrive in a bus at the white house.
He captured many 'Biden' motorcades, and slowed down the video wherein one could see motionless 'biden' in the back seat. And later he was surprised to see the Beasts (two presidential limo's) heading out of the area without flags (no Biden onboard/no flags). He said that he thought the vehicles were stored on the opposite side of the Capitol, and wondered if they were simply taking them to Maryland.
He noted there is a massive event planned for the national mall, with many blocks set up.
He filmed the setting up, taking down, of 'flood walls'. These are set up and taken down about twice a year as a drill. I hadn't seen them before -they do look substantial and could be vehicle barricades in their own right. While they do have a more attractive 'stone wall' covering once they are in place, the cores look like steel and or concrete.
Anyway, Penguin Six does a nice job of comparing 'normal' to 'not norml' for DC and knows his way around. He was unable to identify the massive event being set up for the national mall this weekend. I hoped he filmed the White House red lights, as he sometimes responds to viewer requests for verification, but his last 4 videos are on/around the 29 or later and no nighttime footage. penguinsix - YouTube
I did find this.

“Was looking for a pic of the red lights on the White House. Unable to find one.”
I did a capture of a live video cam last night and posted it to my FB page showing the White House lit red. Granted, it was a live cam and I wasn’t physically there, but it was good enough evidence for me.
