Response to the below: "Following Trump’s reaction online, the Democratic lawmakers put out a statement denouncing his comments, saying that “every American must unite and condemn the President’s calls for our murder and political violence.”
1/2 Per @nycjayjay.bsky.social on FB:
House Democratic leadership responded with a joint statement. Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Minority Whip Katherine Clark and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar said Trump’s posts were “disgusting and dangerous death threats” and asked him to remove them.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Looks Like MAGA Mike Is Trying To Give Trump An Out On Epstein Files
When Johnson was asked whether he spoke to Trump about the vote to release the Epstein Files, he said, “We both have concerns." And he added, "I don't know" if Trump will veto it.

I don't know if the Epstein vote is a one-off or not, but I've been thinkin of that very thin, translucent sticker film that comes when you order, say, a new monitor. It's devilishly hard to get the first little bit of the corner to separate but once you do, the entire thing pulls off very easily.
