Wolfe was a senior appointee at both DOD and State for Trump. No natsec expertise, theology degree and social conservative activist. Has talked about Christians 'taking up arms' against the govt. Expect this to be a typical appointment in Trump II

Holy living frack. Cancelling election because you might lose is red alert undermining of democracy
Alabama state law gives the governor broad authority to set the date of special elections, NYT reports Gov. Kay Ivey may order a new date for the election—sometime early next year—giving Republicans time to ease Roy Moore from the race.

That was quick: Laura Ingraham goes right at LTC Vindman being a Soviet refugee of Ukrainian origin; John Yoo then says LTC Vindman may be guilty of espionage

Presidential candidate calls for setting aside the US Constitution to install himself in power seems worth asking other Republicans about.
Trump isn't ambiguous here. Any federal elected official, employee, or military member would violate their oath to agree with him.
Trump is calling for subversion of the Constitution & either declaring him 2020 presidential winner or holding a “new election,” saying there should be “termination of all rules, regulations, & articles, even those found in the Constitution” to undo Biden’s right to presidency.

The notion that President thinks our current ICBM defense system works is terrifying. It does not. I really hope he's knowingly lying.
"The percentage of success is so high" says Trump of the US missile defense system during a speech in Huntsville, AL

Well it's not like there's anything in the Bible saying stealing or lying are sins
Speaker Mike Johnson is now defending criminally-indicted George Santos, saying if Santos were expelled and held accountable it would narrow Republicans’ majority.
“We have no margin for error,” Johnson said.

Horrifying article. I'm stunned faculty are embracing this.
"One company that uses school WiFi networks to monitor movements says it gathers 6,000 location data points per student every day"

We've been looking for Baghdadi for years -- interesting we get a fix right as we're leaving.
Curious if he was flushed out due to troop movements, or if someone (Russia? Turkey? other?) gave US intel they'd sat on, as a trade for bigger US policy
Military options were given to the President Thursday and he later authorized the operations. National Security Advisor O’Brien tells
@chucktodd
we “had eyes on him” and got positive DNA match earlier Sunday from DNA of
#Baghdadi

There it is: Sidney Powell, Flynn's lawyer and sort of President's lawyer, RT's call to suspend the Electoral College and use Insurrection Act to convene 'military tribunals' to prosecute election fraud.
No doubt GOP too busy with Neera Tanden's tweets to comment on sedition
Retweeted by Sidney Powell who was on the president’s legal team and continues to be booked on Fox Business.

Trump here is promoting the conspiracy theory that a 'stand down' order from Obama prevented saving US personnel in 2012.
I know something about this professionally, and the President is spreading a damn lie.
