US Senator Chuck Schumer receives bomb threats at three offices in New York

Chuck Schumer, the most powerful Democrat in the Senate, claimed that three of his New York state offices received e-mail bomb threats, alleging that the “2020 election was rigged.”

According to Schumer, local law enforcement in a statement on social media received bomb threats referring to his offices in Rochester, Binghamton, and Long Island on Monday with the subject line “MAGA.”

According to Schumer, “local and federal law enforcement immediately responded and are conducting full security sweeps.”

“Everyone is safe, and I’m grateful for their quick and courteous response to make sure that all New Yorkers are safe and secure at these locations.”

A law enforcement source couldn’t provide more information about the threat that was made public about Schumer’s Suffolk County, Long Island, police’s response to the Associated Press news agency. Due to the ongoing investigation, the person requested anonymity.

For safety reasons, the US Capitol Police said it does not discuss member security and that it does not comment.

Schumer criticized political violence, which has risen in recent years in the US, saying that “these kinds of violent threats have absolutely no place in our political system.”

No one, including no public servant, no staff member, no constituent, no citizen, should ever be targeted for their deeds, he said in the statement.

Former US President Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election, but he has since falsely claimed that the outcome was “rigged” or “stolen.” The assertion served as a key component of Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, despite lack of supporting evidence.

In dozens of lawsuits, courts across the nation have rejected or ruled in favor of the Trump campaign and its allies. Election officials in all 50 states certified the election results for 2020.

At a press conference held to support Starbucks employees, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani spoke out against the threats.

Although none of the threats had an impact on New York City’s offices, Mamdani claimed that this is a nation “should never accept” political violence.

I’m A Celeb’s Vogue Williams booted out of camp and fans are furious

Ruby Wax and other camp members were evicted after a gruesome Bushtucker Trial this evening, which included a fight.

I’m A Celebrity viewers have delivered their latest brutal verdict. Vogue Williams became the third of this year’s stars to be send packing from camp, following TV star Alex Scott and comedian Eddie Kadi over the ITV show’s famous rope bridge.

Many fans were angry that she had surpassed other stars who they believed should have gotten the chop in the end. How has vogue changed since Martin and Kelly, according to one viewer? Another wrote, “I can’t believe Vogue is gone.”

Vogue, who was one of the late arrivals in camp along with Tom Read Wilson, was praised by some for her time in camp. One fan wrote: “The trial with the balls trying to knock her over will be the overriding memory of Vogue. She was fit enough to get 11 stars. Respect.”

Her departure came after she clashed with Angry Ginge in camp over his suggestion that people should reuse their dishes for food – and save him the washing-up. Vogue, 40, was first to respond to his idea, saying quickly: “People have the right to have a clean bowl in the morning and a clean whatever they want in the afternoon and a clean one in the evening.”

The eviction came after Ruby Wax took on a fearsome Bushtucker Trial – tackling snakes and lizards with her lucky red pants wrapped around her neck. The TV star, 72, who recently became camp leader after being voted by her co-stars, volunteered to take on the Misfortune Tellers challenge, saying: “I can’t let them down.” She was faced with six ‘misfortune teller’ machines and tasked with going into them and retrieving stars while faced with blue-tongued lizards, eels, green ants, spiders and large snakes. However, she struggled with some knots and padlocks, retrieving just five of a possible 10 stars before her time was up – meaning smaller rations for dinner. Ruby returned to camp insisting: “I’m really sorry.” However, her reassuring co-stars gave her a round of applause for her efforts. The camp has been left reeling by the departures of TV star Alex Scott and comedian Eddie Kadi in recent days and last night tensions rose over the washing up.

Angry Ginge, 24, again complained about the amount of cleaning he was having to do because his campmates take a clean dish each time they eat – but his suggestion they reuse them for breakfast and lunch got short shrift. Podcaster Vogue Williams, 40, insisted: “People have the right to have a clean bowl in the morning and a clean whatever they want in the afternoon and a clean one in the evening.” Kelly Brook, 46, added: “If you’re leaving food in camp, by the time you get back to your tin at lunch time, it’s going to be covered in ants, it’s really unhygienic and it’s not very nice, so no one wants to do it.”

After two cups and a wooden spoon were left out the night before, rats retreated to the camp, according to I’m A Celeb viewers.

Hillsborough police report ‘may not give answers’

As the long-awaited report into police conduct surrounding the stadium crush is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, some of the families of the victims of the Hillsborough tragedy fear they will once again be denied full accountability.

Several people who worked on the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) investigation – including a former director – have told the BBC they doubt the report will deliver all the answers survivors and bereaved relatives were promised.

Some have warned that it could lead to further Hillsborough alleged ties.

‘ People deserve more ‘

The police watchdog has spent more than 13 years looking into the actions of the South Yorkshire Police and other forces following the 1989 tragedy, when 97 Liverpool supporters died in a FA Cup semi-final at Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough ground.

The IOPC will now release a “more focused” 400-page version of its full report, which BBC News understands will be available online later.

Jenni Hicks, with blonde hair, red lipstick and wearing a blue coat, stands before the Hillsborough memorial which has the names of the 97 engraved in golden lettering. She is holding a bunch of tulips.

Sarah and Victoria Hicks, both of whom died at Hillsborough, and Jenni Hicks, one of her teenage daughters, said she would have preferred families to see the longer report before any publication choices were made.

She said, “I don’t anticipate any significant revelations.” “I’m very disappointed that we are not getting the full report.

I would have liked to have witnessed the 13-year production process.

Some insiders say the process has been hampered by internal disagreements, repeated inquiries, and lack of momentum.

Mike Benbow, who previously led the investigation for five years, said:” The investigation was partly about trying to restore faith and trust in a judicial process that had let families down for many years.

“Whether or not we have brought anyone’s life to a close is still to be seen.

Mike Benbow, a man with white hair and wearing a navy jumper, sits at a kitchen table holding a tablet.

Another insider, who did not want to be named, said:” It will be the equivalent of doing a house viewing through a keyhole.

“It will not tell you anything,” it says. It will simply serve as a timeline of events and an executive summary.

The IOPC said the full report would be placed in the National Archives and that the transfer would begin next year, though no deadline has been set.

Operation Resolve, a criminal investigation centered on the day of the disaster, was conducted alongside the IOPC investigation.

Both were established in 2012 as a result of revelations about a widespread cover-up in which police leaders were exposed as spreading false accounts attacking Liverpool supporters withholding evidence of their own failings.

We must succeed, they say.

The survivors and the families left by the disaster were courageous to feel optimistic for the first time in more than 20 years.

Investigators were aware of the weight of their responsibility, to put right the wrongs of the past.

Deborah Glass, the IPCC’s predecessor, told the BBC in 2013 that she hoped the investigation would be finished in two years.

“Hillsborough has a history of failing to conduct independent investigations by other organizations that gave the public no confidence in.” We can’t have more of that”, she said.

The most recent and conclusive investigation into Hillsborough must be presented here, so that the next generation won’t be searching for answers. We must be successful.

More than £150m has been spent across the IOPC and Operation Resolve investigations, BBC analysis of the accounts has found.

In the early years of the investigation, teams navigated practical and technological challenges.

Original police notebooks were kept in a lock-up for 25 years when the BBC visited the archive in 2016.

Some of the neglected ones required rat dropping removal before analysis could be done.

Evidence on VHS tapes and floppy disks required resurrected 1980s computers to view and modern facial-recognition tools had to be used to track fans ‘ movements frame by frame.

There was a sense of purpose and the scale was unprecedented. The sense of optimism that survivors and their families felt has faded 13 years later.

After the criminal trials ended without significant convictions and after the police commander David Duckenfield was acquitted, many bereaved relatives began to lose faith in the process.

Several people told the BBC they thought the IOPC investigation had no purpose.

They were aware that all of the police officers involved had passed away or had retired. Even if they were found to be guilty of misconduct, no sanction could be imposed.

Ms. Hicks expressed hope that it won’t be a waste of taxpayer funds.

When her father, James, died in the disaster, Charlotte Hennessy was just six years old.

She said the length of the investigations, as well as the original cover-up, has resulted in Hillsborough haunting her adult life.

She stated, “The process has been extremely long, and I have no doubt that it will only make us feel frustrated.”

We want to live our lives, but we keep getting sucked back into it.

She added: “There has been no empathy for my own mental health, no compassion for how distressing the outcome may be”.

Additionally, Ms. Hennessy is uneasy about the cost of such a lengthy investigation.

sluggish to swallow

Families were given the full report on Monday, even though those who complained had already been informed.

Many have not been upheld, with the IOPC citing a lack of evidence.

For complainants, who believed they had read a lot of the evidence in the Hillsborough Independent Panel report from 2012, which exposed the cover-up, and who had heard plenty more at the subsequent inquests, it has been difficult to stomach.

Ms Hennessy had complained of police gross negligence after the 2016 Hillsborough inquests found that her father might have survived with better emergency medical care.

She has been informed that the IOPC has not yet determined an answer.

She said, “I’m really frustrated.”

“Hell and back”

Debbie Matthews, whose brother Brian was killed at Hillsborough, made two complaints alleging that officers had fabricated evidence and given false statements.

One was rejected, and the other was ruled to be outside the investigation’s purview, she claimed.

She said, “We’ve already endured hell and back, and it seems like they’re kicking us once more.”

“We are really, really frustrated. Because of this, we are experiencing very bad mental health.

When Hillsborough was the subject of renewed scrutiny, Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester from Merseyside, expressed his hope that the report will lead to senior police officers being held accountable from the beginning.

“The campaign we worked on established the truth about Hillsborough… that there was a failure of police control at an unsafe ground”, he told BBC Radio Manchester last week.

“It has never achieved individual accountability for officers who attempted to blame Liverpool supporters for a cover-up,” it said.

Andy Burnham, a man with dark hair in a black shirt, talks into a purple microphone on BBC Radio Manchester.

The legislation aims to ensure that victims of major incidents receive greater transparency and accountability in future and that public bodies have a legal duty to be truthful and fully cooperate with investigations.

Sir Keir Starmer, who Ms. Hennessy claimed personally promised her that the bill would be implemented, backs the bill.

Additionally, Mr. Burnham has once more urged establishment of a permanent victims’ advocate body to assist bereaved families in holding institutions accountable.

Many of those who once felt hopeful now approach the IOPC’s findings with a sense of resignation.

Families who hailed the independent panel report’s release and cried out with joy after the 2016 inquests verdicts both hoped for truth and accountability.

We understand the frustrations of survivors, grieving families, and all those who have campaigned so desperately for answers, and we have told them that they deserve better.
