Johnson condemns "insane" bomb threats against Democrats

• House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' (D-N.Y.) office said each threat was "signed with 'MAGA' at the conclusion of the message."
• Several Trump nominees, including Reps. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) and Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore.) and former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) were targeted by bomb threats as well this week.

What they're saying: "This is dangerous and insane behavior," Johnson said of the bomb threats against Democrats in a post on the social media site X.

• "Regardless of what party you belong to, your political opponents are not your enemies. This is not who we are in America," he added.
• House Administration Committee Chair Bryan Steil (R-Wisc.) had told Axios in a statement that there is "no place for threats or political violence in our democracy."

State of play: All but one member of the Connecticut delegation was targeted by the threats on Thanksgiving morning.

• Rep. Seth Magaziner (D-R.I.) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) said Friday that they, too, received similar threats.

• None of the threats were determined to be credible, with the lawmakers all saying law enforcement did not recover any explosives at their homes.

Zoom in: It is unclear whether the threats are related, and the Capitol Police has declined to offer details, citing concerns about "copy-cat" attempts.

• Jeffries' office called for "maximum protection" for lawmakers and their families in response to the incidents.
• Steil told Axios he is working to ensure law enforcement has "the resources they need to keep Members and their families safe."
