Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

Crow: "It's so telling that when members of Congress simply remind service members of the Constitution and their duty to obey the law that he cannot handle that and resorts to threats of violence and execution. That tells you everything you need to know about Trump's respect for the Constitution"

The president threatened “war from within” against his own people. If that kind of tyranny isn’t worth standing up to, then I don’t know what is.
Bessent: "Ezra Klein took the mask off. He said, 'This wasn't about healthcare. This was about stopping totalitarianism.' Democrats haven't been able to stop President Trump in the courts, they haven't been able to stop him in the media. So they had to harm the American people."

For a man who ran on alpha male energy and a mantra of “I alone can fix this,” he sure likes to bitch about how it’s not his fault that he can’t fix anything
Sam Stein: Trump with a lengthy statement that says not too much but accuses Ukraine leader of not expressing gratitude for the help the US given which is factually untrue (Zelensky has gone out of his way to express gratitude after the Oval blow up, meanwhile the US has shut down help to Ukraine)

A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."

I think it’s bad that ai allows people to pretend to live in completely separate realities so they don’t have to process news and events that make them uncomfortable. I think that is bad for the health of society!
Trump supporters are also making shitty AI videos of Trump arresting Mamdani in the Oval Office.
They don't know how to process what just happened in real life, so they're making the version they prefer with AI.

Yup. The man does not have a single ideological bone in his body. He is completely self-serving.
If it’s in his personal best interest to do something , he will do it—even if it’s ideologically inconsistent.

I think this clip is the key to understanding why Trump acted the way he did with Mamdani. His world revolves around TV ratings.
