NY Times update from Megan Mineiro, just moments ago: Alarmed by President Trump’s threat to eliminate “a whole civilization” in Iran on Tuesday, more than a quarter of congressional Democrats have called for Trump’s removal from office, either through impeachment or by his cabinet stripping him of power through the 25th Amendment.
