I came across this is little story today, it's not breaking news. I suspect that a member of the housekeeping staff knows something about the bomb threat that required the sweep for weapons.
According to police in Secaucus, the bomb threat — which later was determined to be bogus — was called in to Hudson Regional Hospital on July 18. During a search, bomb detection dogs led investigators to an unlocked office closet containing dozens of firearms.
Among the weapons were 11 handguns and 27 rifles or shotguns, according to police. The closet also contained a .45 caliber semi-automatic rifle with a high-capacity magazine that was determined to be an assault rifle, and a 14-round high-capacity handgun magazine.
The arrested the guy the next day.
What the heck do you think this guy was doing? It sounds very ominous that he was keeping those weapons there.
I'm not quite sure what "doxing" is because there doesn't seem to be a consensus.
However, "digging up dirt" on your opponent is definitely something any candidate does. Didn't seem to hurt Trump when the notorious "grab em by the genitals" came out. But it did hurt Romney when it was uncovered what he said about people being entitled to services when not paying taxes to a group of wealthy people.

Doxing isn't just a "favorite pastime of MAGAphiles."
During the recent election, shots were fired at the home where Mr. Harrigan, the Republican candidate for North Carolina’s 14th District, and his family were staying. Prior to this happening, his Democratic opponent, Mr. Jackson's campaign had released an add that included a picture of residence Mr. Harrigan and his family were living in at the time. To his credit, Mr. Jackson's campaign discontinued the add.
Shrugs...
Since I didn't imply nor state that doxing is only a tactic of the right wing your statement seems unnecessary... but you do you. What we do know is that it IS a front and center tactic of Trump and his followers. It's not infrequent or subtle or hidden in anyway most of the time.
Your "that" is nothing more than random tweets and the senator's constituents who feel like she conned them into thinking they were supporting a Democrat. That's not supportive of your assertion that democratic leadership at the state or national level have treated her the way that Liz Cheney or Kinzinger were treated because they dared to be critical of Trump. I don't need to provide a comprehensive list of republicans censored by the GOP when you made the misguided assertion about democrats and can't back it up with actual facts.
While you are searching for a Democrat to use as an example we can all consider what happened when Jeff Flake or Cindy McCain spoke out against Trump.
Cheney and Kinzinger lost their primaries. We’re they kicked off their committes?
This was before her primary loss. Cheney paid a price and was willing to lose her job. In her own party in Wyoming the Republican Party took away her status as a Republican. Which is interesting because her record is pretty conservative.
Quote
Representative Liz Cheney was removed Wednesday from her leadership position among House Republicans. She was ousted as conference chair in a voice vote by House GOP members shortly after their closed-door meeting came to order, and the meeting was adjourned within 20 minutes.
After the vote, Cheney told reporters that she "will do everything I can to make sure the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office." She faced the ouster from her leadership post for openly criticizing Mr. Trump.

When I use the term, I’m referring to outing people online by publishing real names, jobs, addresses, etc. IOW, making their personal documentation public. Used to make it easier to harass and threaten opponents and is related to swatting.
”Digging up dirt” = oppo research, muckraking or yelliw journalism.

That's kind of what I'm thinking as well, so not quite understanding TMB's claim that it's front and center in MAGAphile strategy.

The tactic is practiced by anal orafices of all persuasions It’s the online version of street fighting. I don’t think there’s been a quantitative study on who does it more - at least I couldn’t find one.

I just haven't come across politicians doing it all that much. shrugs shoulders

Really? Based on your response to @Beerman when asked if you still lived in a particular city, I would presume your definition included releasing much less than this.

I was addressing the implied threat. “I know where you live.” It’s happened on this site before.
When people show me who they are, I believe them. And that’s all I am going to say about the issue.

They were called names and censored by the state republican party members... because they were critical of Trump.

Doxing is a favorite tool of right wing authoritarians across the globe. It has been used to harass marginalized people for decades. Trump uses this tactic to intimidate his critics and opponents. He tried to get the affidavit specifics for the Mar a Lago warrant made public so that his fans could harass those people who were named. The harassment of election officials after the 2020 election was intense and contributed to a reluctance for some to volunteer since then.
