This is a good line and the key point to be amplifying:
"What’s most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law."
Keep shining a bright light on Trump's violent lawlessness.

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.

There's a lot of Doomerism on here about this ("LOL the Epstein files will NEVER come out LOL") but as I argued yesterday, this dynamic can only keep sinking Trump and the GOP as long as the cover-up continues:

If Trump/Bondi/Patel had anything on Bill Clinton it would have been front page news for the past year. Instead of the Trump/Epstein scandal it would have been renamed the Clinton/Epstein scandal deflecting from Trump completely. We know how they operate. 🤷♀️

This is a declaration they will use federal resources to deploy violence against judges, prosecutors, and attorneys general. There's no other coherent interpretation of the phrasing, including "only remedy," "legitimate state power," and connecting those people with "terror networks."

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.
