Nov. 22, 2025, 12:08 AM ESTBy Zoë RichardsMichigan 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.”Trump had also re-posted threats from other users on Truth Social that said, “Hang them George Washington would.”White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Thursday that Trump did not want to execute members of Congress, but defended the president’s comments by accusing the lawmakers of “encouraging” service members and those working to ensure national security “to defy the president’s lawful orders.”Slotkin has defended the video, writing on X Tuesday: “This is the law. Passed down from our Founding Fathers, to ensure our military upholds its oath to the Constitution — not a king.”Slotkin told NBC News Thursday that she had additional protection from law enforcement, saying, “Capitol Police is now with me 24/7.”Slotkin also responded to Trump’s comments during an MS NOW interview on Thursday, saying: “Leadership climate is set from the top and if the president is saying you should be hanged, then we shouldn’t be surprised when folks on the ground are going to follow suit and say even worse.” The bomb threat at Slotkin’s residence comes after Indiana state Sen. Greg Goode was the victim of a swatting incident on Sunday. That happened shortly after Trump took aim at him and other state lawmakers for failing to act on demands from the president and his allies to redraw the state’s congressional map as part of a broad effort to pick up more House seats and widen Republicans’ majority in the lower chamber next year.Zoë RichardsZoë Richards is a politics reporter for NBC News.Alexandra Marquez, Megan Lebowitz, Allan Smith, Rebecca Shabad and Sarah Dean contributed.

Oct. 4, 2025, 2:01 AM EDT / Updated Oct. 4, 2025, 2:06 AM EDTBy Arata Yamamoto and Jennifer JettTOKYO — Japan’s governing party elected Sanae Takaichi as its new leader on Saturday, setting her up to become the U.S. ally’s first female prime minister.Takaichi defeated Shinjiro Koizumi 185 to 156 in a second-round runoff vote to become leader of the conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which has governed Japan almost uninterrupted since the end of World War II.The leadership race was triggered last month when Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said he would step down after a year in office. Though Takaichi is likely to succeed him as prime minister of Japan, the world’s fourth-largest economy, when parliament votes later this month, it is not guaranteed since the LDP-led coalition lost its majority in both houses in the past year. Takaichi, 64, a conservative nationalist who lists former British leader Margaret Thatcher as one of her role models, was an ally of assassinated former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Japan’s longest-serving leader.But there are concerns that Takaichi’s nationalistic historical views could cause friction with China, Japan’s top trading partner.Koizumi, 44, the son of former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, would have been Japan’s youngest leader since Hirobumi Ito, who was just a few months younger than Koizumi when he became the country’s first prime minister in 1885.The party voted on five candidates in the first round, with Takaichi securing 183 votes to Koizumi’s 164. Yoshimasa Hayashi, 64, the top spokesperson for the current Japanese government, came third with 134 votes after a recent surge in polls.Votes in the first round were divided evenly between 294 LDP lawmakers and almost 1 million rank-and-file party members who were represented by 295 votes. Lawmakers favored the more moderate Koizumi, while party members preferred Takaichi, who has a passionate hard-line base. In the second round, lawmakers had the same number of votes while rank-and-file party members had 47, representing the 47 prefectures of Japan.Lawmakers in the second round voted 149 to 145 in favor of Takaichi, while party members gave her 36 votes compared with Koizumi’s 11.Arata Yamamoto reported from Tokyo, and Jennifer Jett from Hong Kong.Arata YamamotoArata Yamamoto has been an NBC News producer in Tokyo since 1993.Jennifer JettJennifer Jett is the Asia Digital Editor for NBC News, based in Hong Kong.
