At Third Act @thirdactorg.bsky.social we are by definition older Americans. We've seen more stuff than most people.
But we've never seen the president demand the execution of members of Congress.

Such beautiful news from the Emerald City, where @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social personifies the emerging young Democratic wave. Lucky Seattle!
JUST IN: Katie Wilson significantly extends her lead in the Seattle mayoral race.
She now leads Mayor Bruce Harrell by 1,346 votes, or 0.5%.
That's up from the squeaker-lead of 91 votes in yesterday's update). She won today's batch of nearly 6K ballots by 20% (!).
Not much left at this point.
