Tomorrow, our president is meeting with the man who "ordered an influence campaign…to undermine public faith in the US democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency.” (IC ICA). Everyone must SCREAM at their electeds tomorrow.
“Russia’s intelligence services conducted cyber operations against targets associated with…the election” like the “primary campaigns, think tanks, and lobbying groups they viewed as likely to shape future US policies.” (IC ICA)

His tweets are always somewhere on the bonkers scale, but this one for me definitely ranks high up there.
He's repeating lines from Russia's state media:
Here's a good backgrounder on George Soros.

A lot of friends are telling me they're exhausted and demoralized today. So here's a quick thread of the good things I'm clinging to today.

1. More women are running for office than ever. Come January, we'll have a Congress that looks a lot more like the people it represents.
2. The thousands of people who reached out to each other yesterday to lift them up, empathize, mourn, and rage together. That kind of unity is powerful.

3. Lilly, who would like to remind you that spending at least a few minutes in a pillow fort will do wonders for your mental health. (Blankets can substitute in a pinch.)

Today, I was driving on a small one-lane residential road without a shoulder. An unmarked white truck pulled onto the road & was coming toward me, so I pulled into an empty driveway to let them pass. But instead of passing, they pulled in behind me & parked, blocking me in. (1)
Two men jumped out of the truck & started walking toward my car. My heart instantly began fluttering, and it got worse when the men suddenly split apart. The driver headed toward me, while the other man came around the back of my car toward the passenger side. (2)
I was on an empty road in the middle of nowhere. No one was home in the house I'd pulled up to. I quickly hit the lock button on my car and I got ready to take my foot off the break and slam it into the gas in case I had to suddenly drive onto the lawn to get away. (3)

Read this: "In two separate incidents, however, colleagues told me that a senior State official opposed candidates for leadership positions—myself and an African-American female officer—on the basis that we would not pass the “Breitbart test.”"

"In 2017, as the media ran out of synonyms for “implosion” in describing Rex Tillerson’s tenure as secretary of state, a quieter trend unfolded in parallel: the exclusion of minorities from top leadership positions in the State Department and embassies abroad."

Like the rest of you, I've been thinking a lot about the op-ed & this Trump tweet encapsulates my biggest concern about it. The op-ed fans the flames of "the war" Trump believes he's waging against our institutions. Anyone who tries to hold him back now will be labeled a traitor.
I'm speculating just like everyone else when I say this, but I don't think the op-ed was written by anyone in the inner circle. More likely a Assistant/Director of some such at the NSC. But this piece has made it infinitely more difficult for that inner circle to rein Trump in.
Yes, the message of the op-ed is a big deal (though it mostly confirms what has already been reported during the last year)--everyone around Trump knows he is unfit and dangerous, but they're keeping him around to pursue their policy agenda. It's appalling on every level.

I'm going to start justifying everything on National Security purposes.
You must buy me a coffee for National Security purposes.
I'm going to need all the pie. All of it. For National Security purposes.
