Several Democratic members of Congress received hoax bomb threats and swatting attempts signed with "MAGA" on Thanksgiving, according to House Leader Hakeem Jeffries. The threats targeted officials including Senator Chris Murphy and Representatives from Connecticut, but no actual devices were found. The incidents are part of a broader pattern of threats also affecting nominees for Donald Trump's administration. Authorities, including the FBI, are investigating, and Democratic leaders emphasize the need for protection against political violence.

"Ashli Babbitt's Family Sues U.S. Government for $30M in Wrongful Death Claim"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by NBC San Diego

The family of Ashli Babbitt, who was killed during the January 6 Capitol riot, has filed a $30 million wrongful death lawsuit against the U.S. government, claiming she was "ambushed" by a Capitol Police officer without warning. The officer, Lt. Michael Byrd, who shot Babbitt as she tried to climb through a barricaded door, was cleared of criminal charges by the DOJ and faced no internal discipline. The lawsuit argues Babbitt was unarmed and not a threat, while Byrd contends he shot her as a last resort to protect Congress members and officers.
