Trump Accuses Slotkin and Other Lawmakers of Sedition Over Video

President Donald Trump accused Sen. Elissa Slotkin and other Democratic lawmakers of sedition after they urged service members to refuse illegal orders in a video. Left-leaning outlets cast the lawmakers’ message as patriotic and Trump’s response as menacing. Center outlets largely recount competing claims and responses, with some attention to Slotkin’s security concerns. Right-leaning outlets frame the video as an attention-seeking stunt, treating Slotkin’s post as evidence of that interpretation.
