'Threatening' letters containing powder sent to Donald Trump, Clarence Thomas intercepted by USPS

Among those targeted by the sender, who identified themselves only as "your secret despirer," were former president Donald Trump and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
While many of the letters made it to their intended destinations, those addressed to Trump and Thomas were intercepted by the United States Postal Service. Authorities have since deemed the white powder included in the envelopes to be harmless. That being said, both the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the US Secret Service are still monitoring the situation.
According to ABC7, many Kansas lawmakers were shaken by the experience, with Republican state Rep. Steve Owens describing it as "terrifying."
"This is not okay," Rep. Tory Marie Blew wrote in a Facebook post, explaining that she had received a call from the local sheriff on Friday evening warning her to be "careful" with her mail, alerting her that "there could be a white substance in it."
The threatening letters with white powder is similar to what happened in 2001 after 9/11. I suspect it is probably someone angry with Republicans. They are plenty of them out there.
