WASHINGTON - The House left town early, the Senate continued to debate a $1.9 trillion bill for coronavirus relief and U.S. Capitol Police braced for a potential security threat Thursday as a possible follow-up to the Jan. 6 insurrection.

On Wednesday, Capitol police released a statement warning of a “possible plot to breach the Capitol by an unidentified militia group.” Downtown businesses have warned tenants about potential protests.

"The USCP is steadfast in ensuring that an incident of this nature will never occur again, especially with the realization that the possibility of a similar incident occurring in the current environment is a very real and present danger," acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman told lawmakers Wednesday.

National Guard troops formed a more visible presence at the U.S. Capitol complex on Thursday morning, with hundreds of troops unloading from a dozen large tour buses while carting long rifles, helmets and backpacks.

1. The guard has been doing this every day for 2 months

Thanks for trying to sensationalize it ( not you Yo, but the press). Need to continue to hype things to sell ads and ad time.

Now they will do what insurgents do - attack soft targets in quantity.
