A coalition of Democratic lawmakers with military and intelligence backgrounds, including Senators
Elissa Slotkin and
Mark Kelly, released a video urging US military and intelligence personnel to refuse illegal orders.
Following this, Representatives Jason Crow, Chrissy Houlahan, and Chris Deluzio filed police complaints against Donald Trump for incendiary posts on Truth Social that labeled lawmakers "traitors" and demanded their execution. Democratic leaders condemned Trump's comments as "absolutely infamous," while Speaker Mike Johnson criticized Democrats’ urging to refuse illegal orders as a threat to national security.
