Trump is so far detached from reality it’s absurd. It’s past time to talk seriously about the 25th Amendment.

The sitting president is a stochastic terrorist.

That is what he is and and has always been.

Had any other president called for the execution of his political rivals, it would have ended his presidency.

But it is the nature of the GOP to trample every norm and boundary in defense of their Great

If threatening to hang members of Congress isn't impeachable, WTF is???

The shirt with Pac AND Chalino — performers whose work reflexted working class culture and who were both murdered (with guns) — tells you this guy crafted the lyrics with all the clarity this moment deserves.

POTUS calling for his political opponents to be murdered is wack and must be called out.

Thank you, @repbonamici.bsky.social for calling for POTUS to be impeached.

I worried the day would pass without a member of congress insisting we do more than condemn rhetoric, or debate if Trump was just kidding, or dismiss his threat as a cranky dementia.

#ImpeachTrump
The president of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be hanged. I call for the president to be impeached.

Thank you for representing me in Congress, @captmarkkelly.bsky.social and for calling out POTUS.

You should not back off this issue. Please persuade your colleagues to impeach and remove Trump from office. This not normal. He will make good on the threat if left unchecked.
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.

We must understand the assignment. It’s no longer about debating if soldiers should follow all orders from POTUS.

Since Trump threatened to murder his political opponents, we must invoke the 25th Am, impeach and remove.

The longer we delay, the more likely Trump will make good on the threat.

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.

This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

No, no, no. I get what your are saying about clarifying what sedition means legally.

But, intellectualizing this moment and characterizing Trump as a cranky old man who is just talking misses THE point.

Trump is playing for keeps. If we don’t stop remove him now, we may not be able to later.
Let’s talk about sedition and treason, because the most powerful yet inadequate man in the world is having a tantrum about it, and his soulless, spineless sycophants are boosting his message.

Congress must do more than this press release. Today.

Trumps elusions to violence —from Jan6, to multiple assassinations, to CBP & National Guard deployments, to sticking up for Saudi King murdering a journalist,— have built up to this explicit call to murder opponents.

Time to invoke 25th Am
Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families."

Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Good. Dems not backing down in the slightest in the face of Trump's call for their execution. Keep this up, Dems. Treat Trump like *he's* the violent criminal and the real threat to our Constitution order. Because he is.

Remember, Trump's Jan 6 MAGA mob wanted to hang Mike Pence. They will do this.
Thank you, @repyassansari.bsky.social for representing me in Congress (AZ district 3) and for dropping everything to address this now.

There is nothing on the U.S. public agenda more urgent than Trump’s explicit call to murder political opponents.
Donald Trump, a victim of political violence himself, just threatened to “hang” Democratic Members of Congress—all who served our country. Every single American, especially elected Republicans, must condemn this horrific incitement of violence immediately.
November 20, 2025 at 6:29 PM
We need more. That statement should have been a call for immediate impeachment.

I’m not interested in a call to “unite and condemn.”

The next press release from Dems in Congress needs to be a call to impeach & remove.

Ironically, if we actually treated the actual seditious behavior of the Jan. 6 coup with the severity it deserved, we would have never had to see social media posts like this ever again.
Trump posts again about Democrats, saying their behavior is “punishable by DEATH!”
November 20, 2025 at 6:09 PM
This feels like another inflection point. Treating this like it’s a debate worth having is inappropriate.

When the POTUS calls for murdering political opponents in response to a reminder that soldiers are under no obligation to follow UNLAWFUL orders, we must shift to an Article 25 conversation.

Remember last December 2024 when S. Koreans said, “Nope!” and waited no more than a pair of HOURS to stop an attempted self-coup by their then-President?

What are we doing right now?

Trump is playing for keeps, for all the marbles. Our Congress needs whatever S.Koreans have because this isn’t it.
