The dems who cut that video probably didn't expect Trump would *call for their execution* over it but if we're glad they provoked such a negative headline-grabbing reaction, we kinda have to acknowledge: some dems actually Did Something.
![I have highlighted the following sentence from the paragraph that I will paste below the sentence, from a Semafor newsletter today:
"They decided to intensify their message, and Slotkin’s office released it to more than 12 million views on X, hoping to get the president’s attention and be ready with a response when he attacked."
"Trump’s increasingly aggressive rhetoric is far overshadowing his affordability message.
The president accused six congressional Democrats of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH” for appearing in a dramatic video that urged military service members not to obey “illegal orders” from him. Those Democrats responded with a coordinated response, defending the video. “I am here because I’m an American, and [this country] gave me everything, and I’m not going to shut up because Donald Trump is threatened,” Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., said at the NewDEAL conference in DC. Slotkin, Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, and four House members with military or intelligence backgrounds released a video together for last month’s No Kings rallies. They decided to intensify their message, and Slotkin’s office released it to more than 12 million views on X, hoping to get the president’s attention and be ready with a response when he attacked."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x34xumthqs333wve75z52s72/bafkreiftq5swsktk3ienadpn4fmmqmhmgcw3u4bylz7wzazbq5abzzoh7i@jpeg)

Trump’s cameo in Celebrity (1998, Woody Allen lol) is surprisingly relevant for 2025.

It’s funny to read the Times soberly describe the sham prosecution of Jack Smith, and then cut to a typical Trump quote where he sounds like all the non-Charlie Wonka factory kids at once.
