Trump Responds to Democrats’ Video on Illegal Orders

A video by Democratic lawmakers urged service members to refuse illegal orders; Trump called the message seditious and said the conduct was punishable by death. Left-leaning outlets emphasize the posts as threats, lawmakers’ safety and whether Republican leaders condemn Trump. Center outlets mainly track the exchange and responses from lawmakers and officials, sometimes centering security concerns. Right-leaning outlets question the lawmakers’ video or the attention given to Trump’s response.
