Today, there are more than 2,000 AOC employees serving around the clock in diverse roles to maintain and preserve the buildings and grounds. Iconic landmarks under our care include the U.S. Capitol, Capitol Grounds, Capitol Visitor Center, House office buildings, Library of Congress, Senate office buildings, Supreme Court buildings and U.S. Botanic Garden.

    This Friday, at the end of the week now, I am grateful for all the hard work of the federal government in Washington DC for the sustaining and betterment of the United States it's environment, justice, and it's democracy and freedom. I see that the people are seeming to be beginning to have some greater trust in the intelligence of their government and it's ability to fend itself from those who would lead it astray, harm or try to subvert it's principles. There is a US flag flying in washington and it's glow is not manmade; it is the result of the hi vibration caused by those meditating around Washington, for sake of liberation of consciousness and transcendence of the traps and illusion that attempt to distract the people from living to the fullest. Americans are coming into Washington for pilgrimage from other states, sometimes staying in neighboring MD, or VA areas with direct metro access (less than 45 minutes into the city by metro train) sometimes staying in DC, the are picking up American flags and blessings of liberty, they are ensuring the justice in this land of immortal equality land by getting their voices heard by Congress on the doorstep of Congress, they are filling with the full fruits of America's rejuvenating apple pies, from George Washington, to MLK Jr, to Rachel Carson, to Michelle Yu, and they are returning home with an American halo of rectified spine in the pursuit of constitutional freedoms, in the support of government to increase recycling and end environmental exploitation in any area of the United States (apache oak flat WILL BE PRESERVED - President Biden is protecting the land). I am grateful for the wisdom and egoless American devotion of federal staff who make those pilgrimages rewarding for Americans and who assure time in DC will never be wasted, whether it is the time of Congress coming in daily, or the time of visitors there to seek rejuvenation or historic sightseeing and education on American history and present. They wear the flag well and protect the tree of American life and thought well because we give an extra thanksgiving today. And I am thankful for high ups of Washington, high ups of the federal government for remaining accessible and personable to all levels of Americans in a real way. 🦅

    You ever watch these western movies with wooden outhouses and swinging bar wooden doors. Wayatt Earp and Doc Holliday became friends on the Texas gambling circuit in the late 1870s, and Doc participated in the gunfight at the OK Corral in 1881. I smell bull sh×t. This was built in the 1800's

    1:02 enslaved people built the capital which 2:20 has an 8.9 million pound dome, in the 1800s without modern construction equipment and no power tools… HOW did they engineer this? do slaves just make better buildings? i thought we were more advanced now, yet our buildings/capitals built today are Not like this. QUESTION EVERYTHING this is not likely, are we living in the ruins of an old civilization? look into it on My Lunch Break and JonLevi

    The current capitol dome that is 8.9 million pounds is not the original dome. It was built during the US Civil War, so it wasn't built by slaves lol. You're dumb for saying that people in the past couldn't build stuff like this. If you see old photos of it being constructed, you see cranes and other "modern" machinery. You're dumb.
