President Trump accused a group of Democratic lawmakers of sedition when they told members of the military that they must refuse unlawful orders. But Pam Bondi, the attorney general, said the same thing last year.

CBS is the network that paid Trump $16m. CBS is the network owned by the Ellisons. CBS is the network that failed to push back in its 60 Minutes interview of Trump.
Of course, CBS is asking questions like this to House Democrats.

Just a reminder, the coward who refused to accept an election loss in 2020 and then committed crimes trying to overthrow that election will certainly cheat, abuse his powers, and break the law to try to win the 2026 & 2028 elections.
He’s a real threat to democracy. Believe it.
