The President called him a traitor and demanded he be executed. It is dangerous and wrong. Americans need to stand up and say so.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

My godfather didn’t even acknowledge me at my brother’s funeral (and I approached him). I still don’t know why. The memory is a semi-annual intrusive thought

Alabama’s political pipeline has turned into a locker room.
Tommy Tuberville’s running for governor, his buddy for lieutenant governor. Both Republicans, one doesn’t even live in the state and the other’s never voted in his life. Yet they expect Alabama to hand them the ball. 🥴

No Republicans should ever be permitted to live down Trump. It should be a generational shame that haunts their descendants.
The idea that we should move on from this open criminal who waged war against his own country and global democracy *while he is still waging it* is quantum complicity.

Lead front-page story in today's NYT
Time-travel dept:
-I don't remember front-page NYT stories "It's 1993, and GOP Is Still Running Against Clinton." That's what they did, for huge mid-term win.
-Nor "It's 2009, and GOP Is Still Running Against Obama." Which they did, for huge win.
Weird.
