There's a lot you could say about this unhinged, late night rant from the President. But the most reckless part is how easily he throws around the word "seditious" whenever someone says something he doesn't like. It undermines our democracy and puts people in danger.

ACA tax credits keep health care costs down for millions—but they'll expire at the end of the year unless Republicans act.
Every House Democrat signed a discharge petition to extend them and stop premiums from skyrocketing. If just four Republicans join us, the House would vote.

If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.
