Authorities investigating pizzas anonymously sent to lawmakers, US Capitol Police leadership: Sources
[quote]Federal authorities are trying to determine who has been anonymously ordering pizzas that are sent to the homes of U.S. lawmakers across the country and to the homes of those who help protect those lawmakers.
The mysterious deliveries have authorities worried that they could be intended to send a menacing message, according to congressional sources and others familiar with the matter.
Both Democrats and Republicans in the House have received the unsolicited pizza deliveries, according to House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office. Pizzas also were sent to current and former leadership of the U.S. Capitol Police, sources said.
"These recent pizza deliveries are troubling and yet again, bring to light the heightened threat landscape we are living in," the Capitol Police said in a statement to ABC News. "Violence and threats, of any kind, targeted at elected officials will not be tolerated.”

This is sick:
[quote]Federal Judge Esther Salas, whose son, Daniel Anderl, was murdered at her home in 2020 by a man posing as a delivery driver, recently told ABC News Prime's Linsey Davis that “hundreds of pizzas are being delivered to the personal homes of judges throughout the country.”
“We had heard about pizzas being delivered to judges’ houses, and that says what? ‘I know where you live,’” Salas said, adding that recent pizza deliveries were sent to the homes of other judges, and used the name of her murdered son as the sender.

This has been going on for months. I’d like to think the Minnesota murders had something to do with it. Instead it has to do with more republican selfishness.

Were they already paid for? If so, I would be good with a free pizza!

Not paid for I assume. You're supposed to call the residence first pretending to be a local radio station and tell whoever answers the phone they have been selected for the GRAB AND SLAM pizza contest. Answer a skill testing question and they win the pizza.
When the pizza arrives they ate to grab it and slam the door, then call back the radio station to let them know. A Chevy Vega is the grand prize for the best slam.
Hilarity ensues.
THREE BIRDS with one stone. Well two stones.
The neighbor, the pizzeria, the radio station.

Originally they were looking to order a number of my famous chocolate pie but opted for pizza instead.

The pizza most likely references that PizzaGate nonsense bullshit. It could also be that the sender (who is clearly MAGA) is subtly trying to confirm and scope out addresses by using the taunts.
MAGA stalking Democrats and killing them at their own front doors is fucking scary.
