Sen. Elissa Slotkin receives bomb threat after urging military to 'refuse illegal orders'

Michigan State Police responded to a bomb threat at the home of Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., a spokesperson from her office said in a statement on Friday. The threat comes after President Donald Trump accused her and other Democratic lawmakers of "seditious behavior" that was "punishable by death."

In a statement posted to X, a spokesperson from Slotkin's office said that the senator "wasn’t home at the time" and that Michigan State Police "searched the property and confirmed that no one was in danger." Slotkin's office and Michigan State Police did not immediately respond to requests for further details on the incident.

The bomb threat comes after Slotkin, who previously worked at the CIA, and several other Democratic lawmakers, including those who are former service members, had posted a video this week urging military and intelligence officers to "refuse illegal orders" from the Trump administration.

Trump on Thursday had responded to the video by calling for the arrest of Slotkin and others for “seditious behavior,” which he said was “punishable by death.”

Not clear why. Totally untraceable or coming from outside the country? Calls like these have been ongoing for years.

Trump 'n Kash should be asked why they never catch anyone.

Because this ain't your typical "POTS" (Plain Old Telephone Service) line they are calling from. They are using specialized computer software and VPNs to spoof their phone numbers and call origins.
