Reports are very sketchy. But something pretty dramatic seems to have happened in DC tonight with the ‘Occupy’ protestors. I’m piecing together what happened from the Twitter feed of Washington Post reporter Tim Craig.

From what I can make out, Occupy protestors tried to blockade the Koch Brothers backed conference (Americans for Prosperity) put on today in DC — blockade in the sense of keep people from leaving the convention hall.

As you know, we debuted the beta version of our new site design yesterday evening. You can see it here and switch over to the new design now.
