President Donald Trump posted multiple messages on Truth Social accusing six Democratic lawmakers of seditious behavior and urging punitive actions. The six lawmakers — Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Chrissy Houlahan, Maggie Goodlander, Elissa Slotkin, and Mark Kelly — collaborated on a video urging military and intelligence personnel to uphold laws and refuse illegal orders; all six are veterans. Representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, and Chrissy Houlahan filed complaints with Capitol Police, with Crow and Deluzio requesting investigations. Crow's office reported posts that called for arrest and trial, labeled the behavior 'seditious' and 'punishable by death,' and reposted a follower saying 'HANG THEM.' Crow's office described the posts as intimidating and noted an uptick in violent calls and emails to congressional offices.
