House Cancels Thursday Votes After Intel Warning Of Potential Capitol Attack – By Summer Concepcion (Talking Points Memo) / Mar 3 2021
The House canceled its Thursday session after Capitol Police warned of an unnamed militia group planning another possible breach of the Capitol on March 4, according to the Washington Post and USA Today.
