(WPXI)-Congressman Chris Deluzio’s offices have been targeted with bomb threats. A spokesperson said on social media that Deluzio’s offices in Beaver County and Carnegie were targets of bomb threats on Friday afternoon. All staff are safe, the spokesperson said, thanking law enforcement for their swift response. “Political violence and threats like this are unacceptable,” the spokesperson said. The threats come days after Deluzio (D-17th District) and five other lawmakers issued a message over social media, calling on U.S. military members to uphold the Constitution and defy “illegal orders.” President Donald Trump responded on social media by calling the message “seditious behavior” that’s “punishable by DEATH.” Deluzio, a veteran, condemned Trump’s comments and said the president has “no regard for the law.” Multiple other leaders condemned the president’s words, including Sen. John Fetterman, Gov. Josh Shapiro and Congresswoman Summer Lee. It’s unknown whether the recent social media exchange was a factor in the bomb threats. Allegheny County Police said their squad searched the area with Carnegie officers and did not find anything.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a lower court ruling that found Texas’ 2026 congressional redistricting plan pushed by President Donald Trump likely discriminates on the basis of race. The order signed Friday by Justice Samuel Alito will remain in place at least for the next few days while the court considers whether to allow the new map favorable to Republicans to be used in the midterm elections. The court’s conservative majority has blocked similar lower court rulings because they have come too close to elections. The order came after the state asked the high court to intervene to avoid confusion as congressional primary elections approach.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has met the man who had proudly proclaimed himself “Donald Trump’s worst nightmare,” but he seemed to find the opposite. The Republican president and New York City’s Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani were warm and friendly Friday, speaking repeatedly of their shared goals to help Trump’s hometown rather than their combustible differences. Trump, who had in the past called Mamdani a “100% Communist Lunatic” and a “total nut job,” spoke openly of how impressed he was with the man who had called his administration “authoritarian.” Trump said he was surprised by their “great” meeting and said of the democratic socialist, “I think he is going to surprise some conservative people, actually.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a once-loyal supporter of President Donald Trump who has become a critic, says she is resigning from Congress in January. Greene, in a more than 10-minute video posted online late Friday, explained her decision and said she didn’t want her congressional district “to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the president we all fought for.” Greene’s resignation followed a public fallout with Trump in recent months, as the congresswoman criticized him for his stance on files related to Jeffrey Epstein, along with foreign policy and health care. Trump branded her a “traitor” and “wacky” and said he would endorse a challenger against her when she ran for reelection next year.

GRAYS HARBOR COUNTY, Wash. (AP) — A Washington state resident is believed to be the first person to die from a rare strain of bird flu, but state health officials say the risk to the public is low. The Washington State Department of Health announced the person’s death on Friday. The person was an older adult with underlying health conditions. Health officials say the person was being treated for a bird flu called H5N5 after becoming seemingly the first known human infected by the strain. The person lived in Grays Harbor County with a backyard flock of domestic poultry that had been exposed to wild birds.

President Donald Trump and New York City’s Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani met at the White House and focused more on their shared goals rather than their combustible differences. The president has previously said Mamdani is a “100% Communist Lunatic” and a “total nut job.” Mamdani has called Trump’s administration “authoritarian” and described himself as “Donald Trump’s worst nightmare.” At their first-ever meeting they discussed housing affordability and the cost of groceries and utilities, as Mamdani successfully used frustration over inflation to get elected, just as the president did in the 2024 election.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — An American proposal to end the war in Ukraine puts the country in a delicate diplomatic position — caught between placating its most important ally, the United States, and not capitulating to Russia, its much larger neighbor that launched a full-scale invasion nearly four years ago. The 28-point peace plan was crafted by the U.S. and the Kremlin, without Ukrainian involvement. It acquiesces to many Russian demands that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has categorically rejected on dozens of occasions, including giving up large pieces of territory.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Law enforcement leaders in Charlotte, North Carolina, say a federal immigration crackdown centered around the city appears to be tapering off Thursday. But a Homeland Security official insists the operation will continue. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin says the operation is not over and not ending anytime soon. That comes after both the local sheriff and police department said earlier in the day that the crackdown appeared to be over less than a week after it began. Homeland Security officials say about 370 people have been arrested over the past five days since the North Carolina enforcement began.

The Federal Aviation Administration says only 776 of the nearly 20,000 air traffic controllers and technicians who had to work without pay during the shutdown will receive bonuses. The announcement Thursday means thousands without perfect attendance during the shutdown won’t receive the $10,000 bonuses that President Donald Trump suggested. Many controllers called out of work as they dealt with the financial pressure of not getting a paycheck. Some got side jobs, but others simply couldn’t afford the child care or gas they needed to work. Their absences forced delays at airports across the country and led to the government to cut some of their flights at 40 busy airports.
