With the FBI on Monday issuing a bulletin about possible armed marches on state capitol buildings across the country this weekend, Florida law-enforcement officials are monitoring online chatter from extremists like the ones that ransacked the U.S. Capitol last week.

But the federal warning came as at least one call, by an unidentified group, circulated on social media urging the âstormingâ of government buildings if Donald Trump, who lost the election by more than 7 million votes, is ousted by lawmakers.
