Let’s review what we learned yesterday:

Looks like the oh-so-essential barricade engineers are still hard at work in D.C. The Weekly Standard’s John McCormack reports on government shutdown activities at the Second Infantry Division Memorial. The memorial is closed … except for “1st Amendment activities.”

Asked a uniformed Secret Service officer what it means if area is closed "except for 1st amdt activities." 1/2

"I don't," he replied. "If you have any demonstrations or protests, I'm assuming, you're free I do that." 2/2

So, First Amendment activities like these, huh?

The absurdity of the barricade is only eclipsed by the bizarre sign.

@McCormackJohn @jpodhoretz Someone ought to tell them we need nobody's permission to engage in 1st amendment activities: shutdown or not

@McCormackJohn @mattklewis this is simply proof that the barricades with signs are purely politically motivated. Makes me sick.

Hmm:
Wonder if police will classify WWII vet visit to memorial as '1st amendment' to avoid arrest. Via @McCormackJohn https://t.co/UsBtovL8aw

For the record:
Sign at WWII memorial doesn't say anything about 1st Amdt activities being permitted. pic.twitter.com/HZFP56VsG9
