Lawmakers Worry Toxic Atmosphere Will Follow Them

Washington Post: “Several Democratic members have privately expressed their concerns to leadership about security back home as threats have risen.”

“Some of these Democrats said they have paid out of their own pocket to increase security at their district offices or install security systems in their homes out of an abundance of caution.

“Members’ concerns have been validated by the U.S. Capitol Police, who report that threats against lawmakers have increased by 107 percent in just the first five months of the year compared with last year.”
