security was tight on Thursday at the US Capitol, the scene of a deadly siege in January after police warned that a U.

S militia group might try to attack it again to mark a key date on the calendar connected to the baseless Cunanan conspiracy theory.

A bulletin issued earlier this week by the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI said an unidentified group of militia violent extremists discussed plans in February to quote take control of the U.

S Capitol and remove Democratic lawmakers on or about March 4th March 4th is the day when adherence to the Q and in theory believe that former President Donald Trump, who was defeated by President Joe Biden in the November 3rd election, would be sworn in for a second term in office.

March 4th was the date of the inauguration.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who's chamber, canceled its afternoon session after the warning, still appeared at the Capitol Thursday for her weekly press conference, dismissing any significance the date may hold and the silliness of this being Inauguration Day falls into the realm of Let's not waste our time on it.

Still, Capitol Police have asked the Pentagon to extend the presence of the National Guard, who have been there since the insurrection for at least another two months.

We should have them here as long as they are needed.

There are currently about 5200 National Guard troops around the building.

The Senate remained open Thursday with Biden's coronavirus relief package on the docket.

Long term security improvements to the capital are being drafted, funding for which Congress would have to approve.

White House Press secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday that the FBI and DHS both warned that the threat quote did not begin or end on January 6th and that Biden's national security team has been vigilant in part because we are witnessing a years long trend of false narratives fueling violence.

 Federal prosecutors have charged more than 300 people for involvement in the January 6th attack.
