What Happened Today – March 7, 2026

Nine days into a war in 2026, they’re still settling scores from 2021.

Three years ago, Congress passed a law requiring a plaque honoring the police officers who protected the Capitol on January 6. They had to sue to get it displayed, and when it finally went up this morning, two workers bolted it to a wall at 4 a.m. in a hallway the public can’t reach. The law said every officer’s name should be on it, but they put up a QR code instead. Daniel Hodges, the Metropolitan Police officer who was crushed in the west front doors, steps from where the plaque now hangs, says the lawsuit continues because the plaque still doesn’t comply with the law.

But Rep. Barry Loudermilk and House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan made time this week to file a criminal referral against Cassidy Hutchinson for testimony she gave four years ago. Loudermilk has spent years trying to rewrite the history of January 6.

Six soldiers killed in Kuwait came home in caskets today. We’ve attacked Iran, Syria, Venezuela, and Nigeria since Christmas.
