Ask yourself if you should listen to an American traitor who leaked tons of highly classified documents, 99.9% with no relevance to American privacy + civil liberties, voluntarily took Russian citizenship + continues to live under Vladimir Putin’s protection.
You make the call.
If Mike Johnson (
@SpeakerJohnson

There was no attempt whatsoever to grapple with the actual hard national security arguments.
In fact,

Ahead of witness questioning @ Senate

hearing, Chairwoman Klobuchar clarified that she did not want to cede regulation of US tech companies to Europe and Australia but that the US should take the lead on that.

But he’s wrong on this one. The President has been unmoored since day one, long before he was elected.
It is not inability to do the job; the 25th Amend is not the answer.
Impeachment is the right path. Do it.
“All indications are that the president has become unmoored, not just from his duty, nor even his oath, but from reality itself. It’s for this reason that I call for the vice president and members of the Cabinet to... invoke the 25th Amendment and to end this nightmare."

Again, using the 25th Amendment here would be lawless and tantamount to a coup.
The correct tool for dealing with the poor decisions being made in the Oval Office is impeachment, not a provision designed for dealing with disability of the office’s occupant.
Some cabinet members are holding preliminary discussions about invoking the 25th amendment to force Trump’s removal from office, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN. It’s unclear whether the effort would ultimately be successful at this stage.

Your position literally makes no sense.
You are saying the government should get a warrant for data that is lawfully being sold to anyone that can pay for it?
So I could buy it now with nada but the government needs a warrant before they do?
#fakepolicy
#lackscommonsense
Our government’s official position is that they don’t need warrants if they contract-spy on Americans?
Big Brother + Big Tech = Big Problem.

Below is my statement from
@MasonNatSec
. Enough is enough.
"Yesterday’s assault on the United States Capitol—and the role of certain national leaders, including the President, in stoking it—was appalling and demands action."

This is literally happening right now. We should be ashamed.
And we are leaving Americans behind too.
Unacceptable.

The Taliban are rounding up our Afghan partners. We don’t know how many have been lost already.

Not sure how an American national security institution recruiting openly is “worse” than a Chinese Communist Party covert intelligence collection and misinformation platform. But ok.

These are the type of Chinese corporate + gov’t sponsored programs that raise major national security + ethical concerns; American academics + companies need be very cautious as China + its industrial proxies expand their repressive technologies globally.

This thing. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
I understand but disagree with those who felt we should leave Afghanistan; I cannot understand why it has been done with such tragic human cost; without an effective strategy to defend our partners; and with inestimable shock to our nation’s credibility, reliability, and honor.

I believe that would be George W. Bush, the Commander-in-Chief on the day that al Qaeda murdered nearly 3,000 of our civilians in cold blood on American soil in New York, NY, Arlington, VA, and Shanksville, PA.

I agree and served in the Bush Justice department as a political appointee in front office of the National Security Division.
At a minimum, this would have gone to the DAG, and more likely, the AG.

Amazing speech happening right now by former President George W. Bush.
Every American should watch it right now. Make your kids watch it.
The America he knows is the one I know.
And the America we should all aspire to become once again.

This is a great example of how US platforms are seen as a key threat to our adversaries.
Glad the

Now we just have to convince key US Senators!
