“I will tell you that the last thing you want is to see multiple law enforcement officials with guns drawn pointing at my parents and thinking that something happened,” the former South Carolina governor told NBC. It’s been in the headlines recently because of a spate of incidents involving public officials. When prominent public officials are victims of swatting, one can’t always prove a cause-and-effect relationship between inflammatory rhetoric posted online or delivered during a speech and a caller’s reckless false emergency call to 911. We need tougher laws to protect public servants, and some states are increasing penalties for perpetrators of swatting. Swatting increases the likeliness of inadvertent harm to the public by the very people whose job it is to protect us.

Redistricting and fights over political lines have fueled the aging of America's government. Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois outside a January 6 committee hearing on June 13, 2022. Partisan gerrymandering, the redrawing of political district lines to favor one political party over the other, has gotten increasingly tactical. In all, 14 House incumbents lost renomination in 2022, the highest number in a single cycle since 1992. If you're a Democrat in a Republican district, your days are probably numbered."

Sursa foto: AP NewsFostul președinte, Donald Trump, începe „turul răzbunării” cu mitinguri în Ohio, Texas și FloridaFostul președinte al Statelor Unite, Donald Trump, va participa la primul său miting major de după plecarea din funcție și de după Asaltul de la Capitoliu, atacul mortal pe care l-a instigat în 6 ianuarie, în timp ce Congresul SUA valida victoria contracandidatului său, actualul președinte Joe Biden, relatează Reuters, citată de Digi24. Deși Trump a mai participat în acest an la conferințe și întâlniri ale republicanilor și conservatorilor americani și a mai ținut discursuri de la înfrângerea sa în alegeri, este prima oară când organizează unul dintre cunoscutele sale mitinguri, după momentul 6 ianuarie. De asemenea, el și-a anunțat susținerea și pentru contracandidatul senatoarei Lisa Murkowski, care a votat pentru condamnarea sa la procesul din Senat. În contextul în care majoritățile extrem de fragile ale democraților și la Senat dar și la Cameră vor fi dificil de apărat la alegerile intermediare din 2022, republicanii își pun din nou speranțele că Donald Trump și cultul său îi vor ajuta să recupereze Congresul. Prioritatea republicanilor rămâne, însă, câștigarea alegerilor din 2022, și nu candidatura lui Trump în 2024, candidatură pe care fostul președinte a sugerat-o dar pe care nu a confirmat-o încă.

Visa's PAC has resumed political donations after announcing a pause following the January 6 Capitol attack. On March 24, Visa gave a total of $139,000 to candidate and political committees on both sides of the aisle. None of the lawmakers voted to object to the certification of the 2020 election results. Visa also filled coffers of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, giving each one $15,000. On January 12, less than a week after the attack, Visa's PAC "temporarily suspended all political donations as we review our candidate contribution guidelines," the company told the Washington Post.
