This is a man whose wife was SHOT IN THE HEAD having to act even-keeled when the President of the United States tries to incite violence against him. Trump has to go, right now.
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.

He's flailing on the economy.
He backtracked on the Epstein files and lost control of the GOP.
His plot to steal the 2026 midterms is faltering.
Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful.
