House to adjourn early over intelligence that groups may be planning another Capitol attack
Source: Washington Post
The House of Representatives will take its last votes of the week this evening, ending its workweek early after Capitol Police warned of reports that an unnamed militant group planned to breach the Capitol on Thursday. The schedule change came after Capitol security officials warned of credible threats of violence by right-wing extremists who have fabricated the false claim that March 4 is the “true Inauguration Day” when former president Donald Trump will be sworn in for a second term. House Sergeant-at-Arms Timothy P. Blodgett told lawmakers in a Wednesday memo that the Capitol Police have “enhanced their security posture” in response and noted that National Guard troops remained posted on the campus. The memo also encouraged members and staff to park in garages and use underground tunnels whenever possible — similar to the guidance they gave ahead of the Jan. 6 riot. Rather than risk being at the Capitol, the House moved up votes on a policing reform bill that was scheduled to be debated on Thursday. Instead it is expected to be passed Wednesday night along with debate and passage of a voting rights bill.

6. I heard some nut interviewed

(I think by some British press) asking what would happen if Biden was still in office after March 4th and 45 wasn't "inaugurated" and the response was then - well then he "probably had changed plans".

|
the Senate hasn't said anything about leaving - so far it's just the House.
In one respect, they seemed to have been more traumatized after that breach (where there ended up being a super-spreader event when they moved a number of them to "undisclosed" locations). Meanwhile it was easier to move the Senators out (there were less of them around), although the insurrectionists had a field day in the Senate chamber rifling through desks, hanging from the galley like monkeys, and sitting in the various chairs on the dais. |

15. There were already a pile of them there with razor wire fencing too
|
(the fencing being whined about last week in the previous Senate hearing)
Per this article - they are moving it in closer (I think the complaint was that it was blocking pedestrians at its original location) - 
This was just being reported locally (apparently House members were given a classified briefing) - Earlier, they were starting to take it down Link to tweet The current troops are expected to leave March 12 (although given what just happened today, I wonder if those plans might be changed). They currently have 5,000 NG troops there right now. |

solid.
Why should they stay around to be attacked again? Maybe more lives lost? Or should they all bring their guns to work & have a shoot out at the OK Capitol Building? TY BRDS  |

interesting since I never watch news.
Of course they would "attack" again.. they're brainwashed Stupid. Yeah, I do feel more safe out here in the middle of the Ocean for more reasons than one. 
But I worry from afar about those in the line of Gaslit Fire.
