Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), who chairs an appropriations subcommittee that oversees the Capitol Police, told Axios that “everybody’s on high alert” in the wake of these incidents.

“The threats are real, the increases have been unbelievable,” he said. “We’ve got to do everything we can to try to make sure people are safe. Lot of wild cats out there.”…

Jayapal said she doesn’t think security officials are doing enough. “I think we need a lot more. And, you know, I’ve learned a lot from going through this myself,” she told Axios.

Jayapal said the sergeant-at-arms’ allotment is a “good step” but that wants there to be “a pool of money [for] when we do have a serious threat at our residences.”

After she was threatened outside her home, she said, she received an assessment that recommended $50,000-$60,000 in security upgrades.
