The Democrat-led House adjourned early Wednesday and cancelled all of their scheduled events for Thursday reportedly in response to online chatter from QAnon conspiracy theorists about storming the U.S. Capitol again on March 4th.
According to reports, the conspiracy theorists believe former President Donald Trump will be inaugurated as America’s real president come the 4th. The theory’s based on the historical fact that Inauguration Day used to be March 4th up until 1933.
In accordance with this theory, there’s reportedly been chatter online about storming the U.S. Capitol, according to a statement from the U.S. Capitol Police.
“We have obtained intelligence that shows a possible plot to breach the Capitol by an identified militia group on Thursday, March 4,” the agency announced Wednesday.
NEW: Capitol Police reports intelligence of a ‘possible plot to breach the #Capitol by an identified militia group’ tomorrow.

The Associated Press noted that members of Congress were issued an advisory Wednesday morning warning them that Capitol Police had received “new and concerning information and intelligence indicating additional interest in the Capitol for the dates of March 4th – 6th by a militia group.”
Testifying before the House Appropriations Committee on Wednesday, acting U.S. Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman reportedly confirmed that her department does indeed “have some concerning intelligence,” but refused to be specific.
“We have enhanced our security posture,” Pittman said. “We’ve taken immediate steps to let the National Guard as well as our workforce know what to expect tomorrow and going forward.”

The House’s decision to adjourn amid these threats has raised some concerns.
One concern centers on the militarization of the Capitol. For months now, the U.S. Capitol has looked like a war zone. And according to multiple reports, Capitol officials have no imminent plans of restoring normalcy anytime soon.
Here’s how the Capitol looked as of Wednesday evening:

But some now wonder why the House felt it necessary to essentially take a vacation day amid the threats. After all, the American people are paying millions of dollars to keep the Capitol fortified and thus Congress ostensibly safe, no?
What’s the point of the militarization of the Capitol if they’re going to suspend Congressional business anyway whenever there’s a supposed “threat”

Some also question the merits of taking a vacation day in response to mere chatter.
Look:
Members of Congress have spent the past several weeks publicly berating law enforcement officials for not acting swiftly and decisively in response to every instance of “chatter” they encounter on the internet. So now these officials have every incentive to over-react https://t.co/WuvcaoWsz7

Kinda like when you got a day off from school because of what turned out to have been a wildly exaggerated snow forecast pic.twitter.com/EIzhhM5aXs

Following the example of Congress, from now on everybody should refuse to show up to work because of “chatter” on the internet

Also notable is that the Senate, which is led by an equal number of Democrats and Republicans, hasn’t adjourned amid this vague threat.
“It’s unclear why the House decided to cancel votes when the Senate plans to be in session all day and voting in the Capitol all day tomorrow,” a senior Republican Senate aide told The Daily Caller.
Indeed, it’s very unclear.
Senators have a major day of votes/amendments, a “vote-a-rama” scheduled tomorrow. It’s expected to last well into the evening, possibly into Friday morning.
So far, Senate WILL STILL be in session, despite House decision to cancel amid March 4th security threat @NewsNation

Especially when you factor in that the only evidence that something’s up is the vague chatter cited by USCP. Other than that, there’s apparently nothing.
“We haven’t seen anything to suggest that there’s any physical, real-world mobilization behind that chatter,” far-left activist Jared Holt, reportedly a visiting research fellow at the Digital Forensic Research Lab, told The Hill.
There’s also reportedly been a decline in the obscure chatter.
“There has been a noticeable decline in online activity on some social media platforms surrounding efforts on March 4, and there was already considerably less online chatter than during the lead-up to Jan. 6,” according to the AP.
These facts have some Americans feeling as if the House’s decision to essentially take a vacation day is some bullschiff.
Look:
They’re just gonna trot this lame excuse out every time they want a day off huh

So can we all take the day off too? Or have a paycheck without them taking 1/3 of it?!!!
— Affiliate Guru (@MakeEZmoney) March 3, 2021
Another day off. Do these people even work 75% of the year? Ridiculous
— USA 1989 (@mlt1989_04) March 4, 2021
I really think they just pull made up lies they start on the Internet to begin with so they can play victim and have an extra day off going into the weekend.
— Grace Nehls (@nehls_grace) March 3, 2021
They just want a day off. Bunch of phonies. Everyone knows there is no legitimate threat at the Capitol other than whatever Nancy and her minions have up their sleeves as far as FFs go.
