On the National Mall right now, reportedly markings in the grass in the shape of "8647" with a police presence on the scene. Per @PenguinSix https://t.co/Uu6cT0ge5p

It’s hard to see, but you can make it out a bit better in this photo:

Reuters writes:
“Authorities responded to what appeared to be a large tracing of the term 8647 into the grounds of the National Mall in Washington, D.C., June 11, 2026. A Reuters photographer captured the emerging image from atop the Washington Monument on the Mall’s grass shortly before authorities arrived. The arrangement of the numbers was clearly an attempt to show 8647, though the 4 was not fully formed. Federal prosecutors on other occasions have said the term could indicate a threat to President Trump, the 47th U.S. president.”
My guess is this was done in the dark, in hopes of whoever it was avoiding detection. But we’ll update if there is one later.
