Rep. Lori Trahan Targeted by Bomb Threat

Rep. Lori Trahan (D-MA) reported that she and her family were targeted by a bomb threat at their home in Westford, Massachusetts, prompting investigations by the Westford Police Department, U.S. Capitol Police, and Massachusetts State Police. The threat, received via email, is part of a troubling trend of similar threats against political figures, including several Democratic lawmakers around Thanksgiving. Trahan expressed her gratitude to law enforcement and condemned such threats, stating, "threats of violence and intimidation have no place in our country." Authorities confirmed that no explosive device was found, and the investigations are ongoing. The FBI is aware of the series of threats and is collaborating with local law enforcement to address them. This incident highlights the increasing risks faced by politicians, with recent threats also targeting members of both parties, including Trump nominees.
