LANSING, Mich. (Sept. 12, 2025) — Sen. Jeremy Moss, President Pro Tempore of the Michigan Senate, released the following statement about a targeted bomb threat made against him and the rising instances of political violence across the nation in recent weeks:
“Yesterday, I received a detailed and specific message threatening me at my home with a bomb. Local and state police arrived swiftly, along with a bomb-sniffing dog, to ensure there was no immediate danger. I am thankful for our law enforcement.
“This current political environment is untenable. In the past few days, I’ve experienced a noticeable influx of bigoted, aggressive messages directed at my office and social media inboxes. We must reject this as the norm in our politics, especially after recent acts of political violence have claimed lives in Minnesota and Utah.
“Democracy relies on the freedom to speak, debate, and disagree without fear of violent retribution. I won’t be intimidated from standing up and speaking out on behalf of Michiganders. Our voice and our vote are the most effective tools to end this toxicity in our politics.”
