The first time I tracked my blood sugar, I wrote about how it humbled me and knocked my wellness socks clean off , before eventually bringing me around to the idea that glucose monitoring -- tracking the ebbs and flows of blood sugar throughout the day and over time -- can be very telling of overall health in ways you may not realize. For the past few weeks, and with a break or two between sensors, I've been wearing the Lingo continuous glucose monitor , also known as a CGM, made by Abbott, one of two diabetes care "big wigs." (The other diabetes tech giant is Dexcom, whose Stelo CGM I wore for my first time tracking blood sugar.) Like Stelo was for Dexcom, Lingo is the result of Abbott turning a medical device that once required a prescription into consumer tech cleared by the Food and Drug Administration for use by any adult who doesn't need insulin and wants a deeper dive into how their diet and lifestyle affects blood sugar. This is important, as glucose levels can tell you about your diabetes risk and overall metabolic health, giving you a leg up and some agency to make changes or get care as you see fit. Lingo is a small, circular biowearable that sticks to the back of your arm and tracks your glucose in real time through a teeny sensor that reads glucose levels in interstitial fluid , which leaks out of surrounds cells and gives away their blood sugar contents. While there have been workarounds for people without diabetes to get a prescription for CGMs through biohacking companies like Nutrisense and Levels , having blood sugar biosensors cleared directly for the general wellness market by the FDA is a big deal, since glucose remains a crucial health marker that smartwatches, smart rings and any other regular consumer wearable can't touch yet . Apple is getting closer to adding glucose tracking to its smartwatches, reports from Bloomberg suggest, but it won't be our reality in the near future, as the only tech that can reliably track blood sugar so far needs to (literally) get under our skin. So, how does the Lingo -- marketed specifically for general wellness consumers -- compare to the Stelo, whose target customer base is those with Type 2 diabetes or those in the prediabetes zone? Here's what I found, what I like about the Lingo app and where I think it can improve. Also, we'll take this moment to debrief what current scientific evidence says about glucose as a measure of our metabolic health -- the very function of our bodies and how they use energy. Why you should care about blood sugar or glucose When we eat, our body converts food (mostly glucose or "sugar") into energy, which our body breaks down, uses and stores. So naturally, we get a little uptick or energy boost after a meal -- especially from carbohydrates, which are made up of simple sugars -- and our body releases the hormone insulin in response to help convert energy and bring blood sugar down. People with diabetes have a disrupted insulin response, and people with Type 1 diabetes, as well as some with Type 2 diabetes, need to take insulin as medication. However, in people without a diabetes diagnosis, blood sugar that stays too high for too long can also pose health problems or indicate an underlying problem, such as illness or even prolonged stress or sleep disturbances. It can also mean insulin resistance, where the body has to work harder to produce enough insulin to clear blood sugar from the blood, which can lead to prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes if not managed. Diabetes or too-high blood sugar becomes a problem because blood sugar can damage nerves, hurt kidneys and more. Fortunately, prevention or management of diabetes is possible, which is where CGMs come in. Dr. Scott Isaacs, a board-certified endocrinologist and president-elect of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology, told me last summer during my first stint monitoring my blood sugar that CGMs have a leg up against traditional blood sugar tests, such as the A1C test you may get as part of typical blood work , because they give you a days-long range of information. You can also get actionable insights into how different habits or choices impact glucose. For example, I've found that walking around after a meal not only makes me feel better but reduces the severity of my glucose spike after eating. I've also tried to eat a little more protein ( nothing too dramatic ), as research has shown that starting with protein or less sugary foods also helps stabilize blood sugar. All of this health insight, and more, is available on the Lingo app, so you can learn as you watch your glucose levels naturally rise and fall throughout the day.

With all this build-up, I've been itching to try the Lingo. A single biosensor, which will give you two weeks of data, costs $49 . A whole month (two sensors) costs $89, and if you're really in it for the long haul, you can opt for a three-month subscription of $249. Unfortunately for Android users, Lingo only works with iPhone currently. If you're an Android user and want to track your blood sugar or glucose, you should get the Stelo by Dexcom , which works for both Android and iPhone. Because I'd already worn a CGM for about a month earlier this year, I had an idea of what to expect this time around. In my experience, setting up Lingo was virtually painless, less loud than the noise Stelo makes when being injected into my arm and easy to do. The first step is to download the Lingo app and create an account. Then, sterilize the back of your arm where you'll be attaching the biosensor -- Abbott recommends you use soap and water first, then an alcohol wipe. Lingo comes in a box with two components: a gray biosensor applicator and a white biosensor pack that comes with a peel-off lid. To prepare your biosensor for your arm, peel off the biosensor pack lid. Then, unscrew the applicator cap and line it up with the biosensor pack per the instructions. Push it firmly down so the biosensor attaches to the applicator. Once your biosensor is loaded, follow the applicator instructions and push firmly on the sterilized part of your back arm. Then, scan the biosensor with your phone so it pairs. It takes about an hour to warm up and officially start measuring your glucose or blood sugar. Lingo comes with an applicator and a biosensor that you need to connect before sticking it to your arm. Pros and cons of Lingo app I appreciated the relative transparency of the Lingo app and what are good glucose goals to aim for. On the "today" screen, which shows a graph of real-time glucose information, you'll see dotted lines outlining the "healthy range." This range -- between 70 and 140 mg/dL -- serves as a parameter for people who haven't been diagnosed with diabetes to stay between. Many reports say that 96% of the time, you should aim to keep it below 140 mg/dL. I also liked how Lingo/Abbott has a "common questions" section under the "challenges" tab, which gets into what the target range means and what it indicates if you "see spikes." The app explains how spikes are normal after eating but should return to baseline about 90 minutes later. While there's very little official health word on what your graphs or numbers should look like as someone without diabetes, this guidance seems to run with how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention uses 140 mg/dL as a cut-off for a prediabetes diagnosis during the fasting glucose test -- that is, two hours after consuming glucose, your body should bring your blood sugar down below 140. I appreciated the extra health context Lingo provides. Now for something I want to like but can't get behind yet: the Lingo Count. I don't get it. It's a number that supposedly represents your glucose spikes throughout the day. Everyone's "target" starts at 60, but you can adjust it higher or lower based on your own goals. You'll see it go up throughout the day, and you can look at how your counts stack up as the week goes on. The goal is to stay under your target count. Pamela Nisevich Bede, a registered dietician, nutritionist and senior manager of medical affairs at Abbott, said that the Lingo count is meant to provide more context for people who haven't had any experience tracking their glucose before and may want an easier score to go after. But Bede said it's something they're always looking at, as blood sugar tracking in people without diabetes is still a new concept. "It's a value that we're always playing with," Bede said about Lingo Count. "We're always looking for new research into individuals without diabetes -- what's that going to look like in five years? I think, 'more to come'." While it does feel similar to a wearable readiness score, I prefer just looking at the graph and seeing how my glucose goes up and down throughout the day. I should also say, while I love my Oura data, I only look at the actual data (sleeping time, temperature trends, etc), and barely give the numerical Readiness Score a glance. So maybe someone who finds the more holistic wearable scores or briefings useful will appreciate Lingo Count. However, the Lingo app does give you a list of Lingo Counts throughout the day that prompt you to log an event (food, most likely), and I find this helpful to make note of the "big" glucose events so that you don't have to sweat the small snacks or activities. As I wrote for my first CGM review, I'm not a fan of food logging, even when it's not asking for calories, because I think it sets a potentially harmful precedent and you can get yourself into the swing of checking the app/your glucose graph periodically throughout the day to see how it may affect you. My least favorite thing about the Lingo experience has been its motivational wording in the "Today" tab when you open the app. On this particular day, my Lingo app told me to do some squats because my Lingo Count was going up post-coffee. Another thing I didn't love about the Lingo app is the attempted motivational wording it uses in the "Today" tab. It's possible I'm reaching and not everyone will feel this way, but praising phrases like "Good job today" when the app is centered around eating and diet feels weird and makes my spidey senses for disordered eating potential tingle. I also laughed out loud when I looked at my glucose measurements after my first coffee of the day recently (I added oat milk and sugar) and the app suggested I get up and do 20 squats because my Lingo Count was going up. Other things I didn't appreciate: When the Lingo app told me to do calf raises and put some "tunes" on while I cleaned up after dinner. Glucose tracking 2.0: Lingo vs. Stelo CGM I was more prepared, and less scared, during my testing of Lingo than I was when I first attached Stelo. During the latter's testing, I was flying blind in terms of what "normal" glucose fluctuations were supposed to look like. I also experienced (what seemed to be) markedly different glucose levels from the start of my Stelo run to the end. I have had no formal diagnosis or medical conclusion drawn around any of this. Still, my hypothesis for why this happened is that I was sick and recovering from a virus when I first started using Stelo, combined with generally high stress. Comparatively, my Lingo glucose levels have been lower, though that may be credit to both companies' apps and biosensors doing their job of teaching me subtle ways to help regulate blood sugar, such as taking more walks and being mindful about eating protein or fattier, more satiating foods before the high-carb or sugary stuff. App-wise, in addition to Abbott more clearly defining what's "okay" vs. what should prompt you to reach out to your doctor for more information or guidance, I liked the graph set up more on the Lingo app, since you can toggle along the dotted line and go back days to see how your glucose has risen and fell. However, I personally find the motivational language a bit ridiculous (while well-meaning), so I think the copy could be improved in future versions of the app to be more hands-off and less micro-managy. In this sense, I think Stelo is superior. Importantly, whether you should go with Stelo or Lingo hinges mostly on whether you've been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes (but aren't taking insulin) or if you think you're prediabetic. If either apply, you'll probably want to try the Stelo CGM, as it offers a higher target range up to 180 mg/dL and is generally less competitive/annoying with challenges and prompts. Of course, a big con to Lingo is that it is (currently) only available on iPhone, so it makes for an easier choice for Android users. Read more: Apple Watch Now Pairs Directly With Dexcom G7 in Diabetes Tech First My blood sugar had more "lows" with Lingo, so I investigated a crash An example of what the Lingo app looks like tracking your glucose. You'll see that my glucose levels were fairly low over night while I was sleeping -- the spike you see is when I had my first coffee of the day. For my first documentation of blood-sugar tracking with the Stelo CGM, I spent most of my time obsessing over highs and getting to the bottom of spikes. But my glucose levels have been lower with Lingo, so I want to spend time on a different, related phenomenon: the blood sugar crash. Something about 3:30 PM on a weekday makes me feel extremely unwell. On one occasion, I felt so tired and headachey, post-lunch, that I decided to check in with Lingo and see what my nifty glucose sensor had to say and if there was any correlation. Indeed, while I was feeling particularly "blah," my blood sugar had dipped below the bottom range of 70 mg/dL -- surprisingly low for me. In a person with diabetes or someone who takes insulin, this may be concerning and prompt some type of action. However, I don't have diabetes, so this was less a medical concern and more a head-scratching event to pick apart. What's more, I'm wearing the Lingo, which is a consumer wearable device -- not one approved for medical purposes. All that being said, here are some of my guesses at the culprits of my crash: I was drinking a Diet Dr. Pepper right before The Crash. I usually only drink soda (artificially sweetened) when I go into the office because the bright fluorescent lights overhead tire me out and give me a headache (yes, I'm a wimp), and I've usually burned through my coffee quota earlier in the day. Could artificial sugar be the problem? I haven't found any evidence to suggest it would. I was munching on bread -- more of it than I normally have when not paired with other food. Bread is delicious and absolutely part of a well-rounded diet, but it's very carby. Before the naan bread and Diet Coke, I had a banana, half a can of lentil soup and a bite of a red bean rice cake. While I wouldn't call this an unhealthy meal, it was pretty carb-heavy and not padded by a dose of protein up front, so I may've been doomed to crash. Tiredness. The two nights before, I'd had pretty poor sleep. About five and a half hours the previous night and about six and a half the night before that, according to my Oura ring data. Could I once again be victim to my own poor sleep choices? Probably. Taking all of this into account, the things I can do differently next time to avoid this crash lean on the same general advice when it comes to helping your body process blood sugar and, therefore, energy after eating. I could've taken a quick, leisurely walk after lunch (nothing crazy, and no sweating) and considered eating protein before the more carby foods. Maybe I could've added a slice of cheese to the soup or eaten the banana after. Who should use Lingo or try a CGM? I regret to inform you that, after spending weeks with two different models of CGMs, I think it's a good idea for everyone to use one to track their glucose levels at least one time -- preferably once a year for as long as your box of biosensors will serve you, just to check in with how your body's handling blood sugar and to play around with your wellness routine. And this is coming from someone who is adamantly against calorie counting or similar types of food logging for most people. To reiterate: I disagree with the current app designs around consumer CGMs and don't think you need to log every single food item to learn how different foods impact blood glucose. My grandpa has Type 2 diabetes. In this photo, he's wearing the Stelo. Consumer technology that gives the general public earlier and easier access to glucose information and how it's directly impacted by diet, movement and more, is a big deal in my mind. People who have diabetes or prediabetes (and who don't need insulin) may benefit from wearing one more often (you should get the Stelo, or ask your doctor whether you can get a prescription for another one). However, whether you need to "continuously" use a continuous glucose monitor is totally up to your preferences and what benefits your overall well-being. That includes how stressed it makes you feel and whether you think it's actually helping you make meaningful changes to your routine. If it's not helpful, forget it. For those who think they may have prediabetes or people who are worried about what their graphs may show: I feel you. Whether you want to wear a CGM or check your blood sugar ever is completely up to you, but given that the resources available for people to catch potentially chronic diseases early are sparse -- and the noise around diet trends or wellness hacks purporting to make you healthier is loud and confusing -- you may find that a tool that gives you direct information about your health can help you make tweaks that'll actually be helpful. It may also prompt you to get care earlier if you can benefit from health care or medication, minimizing the risks of health problems later on in life. I offer the yearly glucose check-in advice for most people because that's what I plan on doing, and based on some Reddit threads and general comments from doctors, using a CGM to check in every once in a while seems to be more in line with how others view it as well. While I was provided CGMs from both Abbott and Dexcom for testing, I'll probably buy a single Lingo biosensor roughly a year from now, just to see how my blood sugar is trending, purely based on the fact Abbott sells a two-week sensor for a more affordable $49, instead of a month-long sensor pack for $99. In the meantime, I plan on overhauling my sleep routine and working on bringing down my stress levels, so I'm focusing on those gradual changes that can reap big, rippling health results.Margaret Pomeranz: The 10 films you should watch, but probably haven’tZotac has once again jumped the gun by prematurely listing RTX 50 series graphics cards on its official website. For a brief period, the company’s page displayed the flagship RTX 5090 alongside four other Blackwell models, which also appeared in Google search results under the AIB’s domain. GeForce RTX 5090, 5090D, 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070 Spotted Ahead of the Launch According to , the pages are already being taken down, but not before screenshots were captured. In the images, the RTX 5090 can be seen along with a 5090D variant. It is likely tailored for the Chinese market and the RTX 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070. This suggests that these five models will be the initial lineup of the Blackwell series for desktop PCs. While details remain scarce, this unintentional leak hints at the anticipated structure of NVIDIA’s next-generation . As usual, the RTX 5090 will be the performance leader and likely set the tone for the rest of the Blackwell family. The following screenshot reveals Google search results showing listings of the new GPUs on Zotac’s website. The summaries for each link provide some additional details, albeit in a somewhat indirect manner. However, one key specification is already visible: a 32GB capacity. RTX 5090 Will Mark a New Performance Peak for Gamers This early mention likely refers to the VRAM configuration of the RTX 5090, hinting at a significant leap in memory capacity compared to previous generations. If accurate, this aligns with expectations for the Blackwell series to deliver higher performance and support for increasingly demanding workloads, such as 8K gaming and AI-based tasks. Returning to Zotac’s website, the author discovered a 32GB GDDR7 option within the search filters. This option had not been available previously, and since no RTX 40 series GPU features that amount of memory, it strongly suggests that this was added for the upcoming RTX 5090. This effectively confirms the memory capacity of NVIDIA’s most advanced model in the Blackwell lineup, expected to launch in January. The inclusion of 32GB GDDR7 represents a substantial upgrade, signaling a focus on pushing performance boundaries, particularly for workloads like 8K gaming, AI processing, and heavy content creation. The Google search results shown in the screenshots combine various product details into single summaries. However, it does mention the 3.5 to 4-slot size for the new GPUs. This suggests that the RTX 5090 will likely be at least as large as its predecessor, the RTX 4090. This is speculation, as NVIDIA can easily surprise us and make it bulkier. Given its expected high performance and increased power requirements, a larger cooler design seems necessary to manage thermals effectively. Meanwhile, Zotac’s listings did not mention an RTX 5060. Perhaps, NVIDIA will prioritize higher-end models in the initial Blackwell series launch. No RTX 5060 Series at the Moment Another notable detail is the complete absence of any mention of entry-level models like the RTX 5060 or even the RTX 5060 Ti in Zotac’s listings. This further suggests that NVIDIA is likely focusing on the high-end segment for the initial Blackwell series launch, delaying more affordable GPUs for a later date. This strategy aligns with NVIDIA’s past practices, where flagship models like the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 debut first to showcase peak performance and technological advancements, while mid-range and entry-level options follow in subsequent months.

President-elect Donald Trump’s lawyers urge judge to toss his hush money convictionMost dancers try to defy their age. This one decided to act itShares of network equipment maker Ciena ( CIEN 15.45% ) soared on Thursday morning, following the release of a mixed earnings report paired with bullish guidance targets . The price jump peaked at 21.9% near 10 a.m. ET, cooling down to a 15% gain three hours later. Mixed results and bullish guidance Wall Street's consensus estimates for Ciena's fourth-quarter report pointed to adjusted earnings of roughly $0.65 per share on $1.1 billion in top-line revenues. Earnings fell 28% year over year to $0.54 per share while sales held almost perfectly steady at $1.12 billion. So the headline numbers were a mixed bag, but that wasn't the whole story. Inspired by rising market demand for high-speed optical networking solutions, Ciena CEO Gary Smith highlighted the long-term opportunities of cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) processing. As a result, Ciena now expects annual revenue growth of approximately 10% over the next three years, up from a compound average growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5% in the last three years. A richer product mix raised costs in Q4 2024 The company ended fiscal year 2025 with an unfilled order backlog of $2.1 billion, up from $1.9 billion three months earlier. Ciena has all the market action it can handle and is revising its supply chain to make sure it can meet this explosive AI demand. The soft bottom-line earnings resulted from a larger-than-usual write-off of obsolete and unsellable products, as Ciena's catalog moved away from older and slower products in favor of high-speed gear -- the kind enterprise customers with ambitious cloud and AI businesses prefer. The company also stepped up its selling and marketing budgets to take advantage of the incoming business opportunities. Ciena's stock has now gained 89% in 52 weeks, outperforming the stock market and 25 of the 30 large companies in the communications equipment sector. The shares aren't cheap at this point, but Ciena supports its lofty valuation with muscular growth projections.

The first guest invited to ring the bell to open trading at the New York Stock Exchange in 1956 wasn’t a company executive, a politician or a well-known celebrity. It was a 10-year-old boy, Leonard Ross, who received the honor by winning a television quiz show. Since then, business titans, political giants and global film stars have all been among those ringing the opening bell at the NYSE. Ronald Reagan rang the bell as president in 1985. Billionaire businessman and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Hollywood star Robert Downey Jr. have also rung the bell. The list even includes famous Muppets: Miss Piggy was once a bell ringer. President-elect Donald Trump joined that list Thursday when he opened trading at the famous stock exchange on Wall Street. He was accompanied by his wife, Melania, who interestingly enough received the honor before her husband. As first lady, she rang the bell in 2019 as part of her “Be Best” program. Bell-ringers are more commonly founders and executives from a wide range of companies. Over the last few months, the guests have included executives from Alaska Air Group, Bath & Body Works, and Ally Financial. Stock trading around the location of the NYSE's current home has deep roots that trace back to the Dutch founding of New Amsterdam and when Wall Street had an actual wall. The NYSE traces its direct roots to the “Buttonwood Agreement” signed in 1792, which set rules for stock trading and commissions. The NYSE moved into its first permanent home in 1865. The first bell in use was actually a gong. The exchange moved into its current iconic building in 1903 and started using an electronically operated brass bell. That has evolved into synchronized bells in each of the NYSE’s four trading areas.NEW YORK — A number of President-elect Donald Trump 's most prominent Cabinet picks and appointees have been targeted by bomb threats and “swatting attacks," Trump's transition team said Wednesday. The FBI said it was investigating. “Last night and this morning, several of President Trump’s Cabinet nominees and Administration appointees were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them," Trump transition spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. She said the attacks ranged from bomb threats to swatting, in which attackers initiate an emergency law enforcement response against a target victim under false pretenses. The tactic has become a popular one in recent years. “In response, law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted. President Trump and the entire Transition team are grateful for their swift action,” Leavitt said. Among those targeted were New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, Trump’s pick to serve as the next ambassador to the United Nations, Matt Gaetz, Trump’s initial pick to serve as attorney general, and former New York congressman Lee Zeldin, who has been tapped to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. Susie Wiles, Trump's incoming chief of staff, and Pam Bondi, the former Florida Attorney General whom Trump has chosen as Gaetz's replacement, were also targeted, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity amid the ongoing investigation. Wiles and Bondi did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The FBI said in a statement that it was “aware of numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting incoming administration nominees and appointees" and was "working with our law enforcement partners. We take all potential threats seriously, and as always, encourage members of the public to immediately report anything they consider suspicious to law enforcement.” Stefanik's office said that, on Wednesday morning, she, her husband, and their 3-year-old son were driving home from Washington for Thanksgiving when they were informed of a bomb threat to their residence in Saratoga County. "New York State, County law enforcement, and U.S. Capitol Police responded immediately with the highest levels of professionalism," her office said in a statement. “We are incredibly appreciative of the extraordinary dedication of law enforcement officers who keep our communities safe 24/7." The New York State Police said a team was dispatched to sweep Stefanik’s home on Wednesday morning in response to the bomb threat but did not locate any explosive devices. A spokesman for the agency directed further questions to the FBI. Zeldin said in a social media post that he and his family had been threatened. “A pipe bomb threat targeting me and my family at our home today was sent in with a pro-Palestinian themed message,” he wrote on X. “My family and I were not home at the time and are safe. We are working with law enforcement to learn more as this situation develops.” Police in Suffolk County, Long Island said emergency officers responded to a bomb threat Wednesday morning at an address listed in public records as Zeldin’s home and were checking the property. In Florida, meanwhile, the Okaloosa County sheriff’s office said in an advisory posted on Facebook that it “received notification of a bomb threat referencing former Congressman Matt Gaetz’s supposed mailbox at a home in the Niceville area around 9 a.m. this morning.” While a family member resides at the address, they said "former Congressman Gaetz is NOT a resident. The mailbox however was cleared and no devices were located. The immediate area was also searched with negative results.” Gaetz was Trump’s initial pick to serve as attorney general, but he withdrew from consideration amid allegations that he paid women for sex and slept with underage women. Gaetz has vehemently denied any wrongdoing and said last year that a Justice Department investigation into sex trafficking allegations involving underage girls had ended with no federal charges against him. The threats follow a political campaign marked by disturbing and unprecedented violence. In July, a gunman opened fire at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, grazing the then-candidate in the ear with a bullet and killing one of his supporters. The U.S. Secret Service later thwarted a subsequent assassination attempt at Trump's West Palm Beach, Florida, golf course when an agent spotted the barrel of a gun poking through a perimeter fence while Trump was golfing. Public figures across the political spectrum have been targeted in recent years by hoax bomb threats and false reports of shootings at their homes. The judges overseeing the civil fraud case against Trump in New York and the criminal election interference case against him in Washington, D.C. were both targeted earlier this year. Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith, who recently abandoned the two criminal cases he brought against Trump, was also the subject of a fake emergency call on Christmas Day last year. Earlier this year, schools, government buildings and the homes of city officials in Springfield, Ohio received a string of hoax bomb threats after Trump falsely accused members of Springfield’s Haitian community of abducting and eating cats and dogs. And in 2022, a slew of historically Black colleges and universities nationwide were targeted with dozens of bomb threats with the vast majority arriving during the celebration of Black History Month. The U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement Wednesday that, “Anytime a Member of Congress is the victim of a 'swatting' incident, we work closely with our local and federal law enforcement partners. To protect ongoing investigations and to minimize the risk of copy-cats, we cannot provide more details at this time.” Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson called the threats “dangerous and unhinged.” “This year, there was not just one but TWO assassination attempts on President Trump. Now some of his Cabinet nominees and their families are facing bomb threats,” he wrote on X. “It is not who we are in America.”
