Dear Madam Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:)

United States Armed Forces personnel have deployed to Libreville, Gabon, to be in position to support the security of United States citizens, personnel, and diplomatic facilities in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
This deployment of approximately 80 personnel is in response to the possibility that violent demonstrations may occur in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in reaction to the December 30, 2018, elections there.
The first of these personnel arrived in Gabon on January 2, 2019, with appropriate combat equipment and supported by military aircraft. Additional forces may deploy to Gabon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, or the Republic of the Congo, if necessary for these purposes.
These deployed personnel will remain in the region until the security situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo becomes such that their presence is no longer needed.
This action was taken consistent with my responsibility to protect United States citizens both at home and abroad, and in furtherance of United States national security and foreign policy interests,
pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct United States foreign relations and as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive.
I am providing this report as part of my efforts to KEEP THE CONGRESS FULLY INFORMED, CONSISTENT WITH THE WAR POWERS RESOLUTION (Public Law 93-148). I appreciate the support of the Congress in these actions.

Sincerely,

DONALD J. TRUMP

The National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) is today disseminating videos, brochures, and other informative materials to help the private sector guard against growing threats from foreign intelligence entities and other adversaries.
“Make no mistake, American companies are squarely in the cross-hairs of well-financed nation-state actors, who are routinely breaching private sector networks, stealing proprietary data, and compromising supply chains.

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

Less than 48 hours after Sen. John McCain died from brain cancer, the White House flag was no longer flying at half-staff.

This decision breaks from the precedent of lowering the flags for significant national officials from their death until burial as a show of respect,
So when must a flag be lowered to half-staff? Though precedent is often followed, there are also rules outlined by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in a 1954 proclamation. Aside from the instances outlined by Eisenhower,
the president can also choose to lower a flag whenever the nation is mourning, whether it is after a tragedy or after the death of another official not outlined in the proclamation.

As McCain was a U.S. senator, the proclamation instructs that flags be lowered

Since @realDonaldTrump appears to only read things he sees on Twitter I figured it was worth it to post the Bill of Rights here, in a hope that he might learn something about our govt and laws while he is POTUS. Please share and enjoy the wisdom of our Founding Fathers. #Covfefe

1. This Fantasy Keeps Coming Up in the News: Can the 25th Amendment used to remove Donald Trump from office?

No! the 25th amendment can't be used to remove President Trump.
2. Establishment politicians , lying journalists, antifa morons, and anti-Trump idiots of all stripes are fantasizing all over the Internet about using the 25th amendment to “remove” President Trump from office.

It's never going to happen.
3. The 25th amendment was written as it is, exactly to avoid one political party using it for political chicanery against the other.

As requested by tweeps, some thoughts on the use of the 25th amendment vs impeachment of Potus. The 25th amend was ratified in 1967. /1
It updated previous strictures on dealing with incompetency, physcial or mental, of the President and replacement of the VP under such /2
circumstances. The 25th amend is no easy thing to enact. A majority of the executive branch officers (ie VP, cabinet) need to attest /3
