"Repeated Bomb Threats Prompt Evacuations and Calls for Stricter Hoax Penalties"

Government buildings in the South, including in Mississippi, Arkansas, and Florida, received bomb threats for the second day in a row, leading to evacuations and deployment of bomb squads. These incidents follow a pattern of increased threats against public servants, with recent "swatting" incidents targeting political figures like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Sen. Rick Scott. Federal officials are investigating the threats, which have been part of a surge in hostility towards government workers.
