Leader Jeffries: "There is no bottom when it comes to Donald Trump.

"We have been in contact with the House Sergeant at Arms and the U.S. Capitol Police to ensure the safety of these Members and their families. Donald Trump must immediately delete these unhinged social media posts."
Trump is now seeming to endorse execution for his perceived enemies — retweeting a post that called for the hanging of Democrats who told servicemembers to refuse illegal orders.

He also claims the Dems are engaging in 'seditious behavior'.

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

"One of Tina Peters’ lawyers, Peter Ticktin, suggested on Trump ally Steve Bannon’s podcast this week that the military be used to free Peters from prison."

And that, my friends, is what we would call "an illegal order."

If Joe Biden had claimed that he redesigned the hulls of Coast Guard cutters, we'd be way over in 25th amendment territory.
With Trump, it's so common that most Americans don't even notice it now.
Trump during his Thanksgiving call with service members: "We're ordered a lot of Coast Guard cutters. Brand new, beautiful, the best machines in the world. I'm a looks person. I wanted the hull to be perfect. You know, I sort of redesigned the hull a little bit. The hulls. But we ordered a lot."

American taxpayers supported one of the most life-saving global interventions in history: PEPFAR

Every American is part of that success

As with deleting women in espionage, the Tuskegee airmen, Japanese internment, this is an effort to tell “one American story” that isn’t real, whole, or glorious

We need to stop letting Russia stick a fork in our brains
NEW: Data on Russian forces’ rate of advance indicates that a Russian military victory in Ukraine is not inevitable, and a rapid Russian seizure of the rest of Donetsk Oblast is not imminent. Russian advances elsewhere on the frontline have been opportunistic and exploited seasonal weather. ⬇️🧵

Happy thanksgiving, America

I’m thankful for every one of you who remembers what the task of this nation really is, and how important it is that we continue to pursue the more perfect union

(Which I pondered a bit in this recent piece)

To the American future 🥂

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Reith Lectures are very prestigious! Trump's threats got a true claim about his world-historical corruption, obviously a legit topic for inquiry, removed from the airwaves.

Same with the investigation into Mark Kelly. Threats are designed to silence *truth-teling.*

No one shld lose sight of the fact that the Guard was only in DC as part of an extended political messaging stunt. The shooter is guilty for the attacks/carnage. Donald Trump is responsible for them. This is the collateral damage of Trump abusing his powers as President.

Overt misogny and verbal abuse are the Trump fascist MAGA GOP cult brand. #BeAngryAmerica
Q: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted & it came up clean

TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting

Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden?

TRUMP: You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person
