Meanwhile, out in California, an anti-vaccine protester reportedly threw a red substance of some sort all over the inside of the state legislature to protest a new law that tightens up medical exemptions for vaccines:
So one of the anti-vaccine protestors threw some kind of red liquid from the Senate galley and yelled (I believe) "this is for the blood of dead babies." Appears to be red food coloring. I believe it hit the desks of @SenatorGalgiani and @HollyJMitchell

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the bills into law this week:

Never change, California:
My colleagues were hit by red liquid thrown from the Senate gallery. An arrest has been made, but the Senate remains in recess.
This is unacceptable.

More on the new law here:
