An ex-top Homeland Security Department official is warning that the U.S. stands to see more threats in the wake of the failed assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. “I wasn’t surprised it occurred. And my second thought was if things do not change, there’s more to come,” John Cohen, the former acting undersecretary for intelligence and analysis at the Department of Homeland Security, told Politico. Cohen said he’s been working the past year with law enforcement on security threats tied to the 2024 election and has offered them all the same sobering message: “The country is experiencing the most dangerous threat environment that I’ve seen in 40 years.” Read it at PoliticoRead more at The Daily Beast.

Pennsylvania State

Bucks County Beacon

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”
