This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

From Google's net sifter:

Melissa Hortman: The Minnesota House Speaker and her husband were killed in June 2025 in what authorities described as a "politically motivated assassination".

Paul Pelosi: The husband of former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was attacked with a hammer in October 2022 in their home by an intruder who was seeking to kidnap Nancy Pelosi.

Josh Shapiro: Pennsylvania's Democratic governor was the target of an attempted assassination in April 2025.

Gretchen Whitmer: In 2020, several men were convicted for plotting to kidnap the Democratic governor of Michigan.

Democratic officials in New Mexico: A man was convicted in 2022 for a series of shootings targeting the homes of four Democratic elected officials.

Heather Heyer: A left-wing activist was killed in 2017 when a man drove his car into a crowd of counter-protesters in Charlottesville.

Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton: In 2018, a man sent pipe bombs to the homes of several prominent Democrats.
Esther Salas: In 2020, the son of the Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge was killed in their home by an assailan
