Interesting to see numerous reporters now running to Dem lawmakers to get them to talk more about Trump's lawlessness. It's almost like when Dems respond forcefully to Trump, the media wakes up and takes notice. Something to learn in this!
Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families."
Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

The video, which was released on Tuesday, features six Democratic lawmakers who have previously served in the military or in intelligence roles, including senators Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, and representatives Maggie Goodlander, Chris Deluzio, Chrissy Houlahan and Jason Crow.
