🚨2nd-largest #Ebola epidemic has killed >1,500 & is spreading toward large population centers.

John Bolton *eliminated* the position of global health security on the National Security Council.🤬

It’s not “if” it’s WHEN these deadly viruses threaten US‼️
motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
Congo and #Uganda do not have the resources needed to combat #Ebola and NEED our help NOW.

I’ve worked for nearly a decade to develop an effective treatment for Ebola and other deadly viruses. It’s not “if” it’s WHEN these deadly viruses threaten US‼️

🚨Deadly #Ebola outbreaks are increasing in frequency and severity, in part, due to human encroachment on remote sites harboring #Ebola and more frequent/distant travel.

This isn’t going to change, unless we take action NOW.

Yet another YUGE #fail by @realDonaldTrump.🤬

🔥Roy Moore says that Muslims should NOT be allowed to serve in Congress.🤬

When asked why not, Moore’s spokesman Ted Crockett: “Because you have to swear on the Bible.”

@JakeTapper: You don't actually have to swear on a Christian Bible.

Crockett: 😲🤯

@jaketapper You have got to watch this clip until the end. This is Roy Moore's **spokesman** who is PAID to go on TV. Priceless.🤣

@jaketapper Hat tip to @atrupar for digging up this clip. Totally priceless!🙌🏼🙌🏼🤣

I went on @IngrahamAngle on @FoxNews and nailed @realDonaldTrump for laundering money for the #Russian🇷🇺mob for DECADES via his longtime partner, Felix Sater.😎

And now, Sater FINALLY will testify before Congress.🤗

Jerry Falwell Jr shockingly endorsed @realDonaldTrump in the 2016 @GOP primary, boosting Trump w/Evangelicals.

Did Michael Cohen play a role by allegedly "fixing" a hush-money deal btwn the Falwells and a "pool boy" over sexually explicit photographs?🤔

nytimes.com/2019/06/18/us/…
@realDonaldTrump @GOP 🔥Falwell's alleged hush-money payoffs to the "pool boy" for the photos totaled **$1.8 million**....and, apparently, netted @realDonaldTrump Falwell's endorsement in the 2016 @GOP primary.🧐

@realDonaldTrump @GOP More details on the "special" friendship between the Falwells and the "pool boy" that allegedly netted the pool boy $1.8 million of hush-money and handed Falwell's endorsement to Trump.🙄

Long thread of 23/
As violence increases and tension gets volatile in the #Ebola epidemic, those following it should learn who is fighting, what they are fighting for, and where their funding & arms come from. Here's a good start: [MORE]

 Burundi, a single-party state with fragmented opposition, revised its Constitution in 2018 allowing only 2% of the population access to the new text. B will hold natl elections in 2020, & tension/repression is high. Armed grps have invaded from #DRC killing villagers.

 Burundi is protected by China & Russia: "Two permanent members of the security council have explicitly asked the UNSC to withdraw Burundi from the agenda of the security council because the situation in the country is not a threat to peace and international security."

#Ebola thread: Sorry this is so late; another disease demanded my attention. And the news here is so routinely awful I barely know where to start. This outbreak is really, really not going well.
Here's what I see:
2. @MinSanteRDC reports +14 cases today. This reporting week is 2 days old & there have already been 22 #Ebola cases. They also report 10 deaths, 7 of them community deaths. The people who looked after those dying patients will be cases themselves in the next week or 2. Fact.
3. So the outbreak totals are now 1168 cases & 741 deaths. After the West African outbreak (admitted still far, far bigger) I naively thought the world would never let an #Ebola outbreak get big again.
I was wrong.

JOHN BOLTON’S MONROE DOCTRINE

How little has changed since 1823!

@AmbJohnBolton mentioned the Monroe Doctrine recently. It warns European nations against interference in Latin America & that it would be “the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States.”
JOHN BOLTON’S MONROE DOCTRINE

At the same time as warning off European nations the Monroe Doctrine states that the USA would not meddle in the internal concerns of European countries. This last may not be quite to @AmbJohnBolton’s taste. The USA interferes ACROSS Europe.
JOHN BOLTON’S MONROE DOCTRINE

The Monroe Doctrine was enunciated with the aim of ensuring Latin America would be the USA’s remit & no one else's. The influence of the USA was to be exerted undisturbed... or else. No person from Latin America was consulted as far as we know.

On Dec 12 there were 505 #Ebola cases reported in #DRCongo -- 2 dys later it's 521, w/>30 cases in the large city of Butembo. "Control" seems elusive.
Here are some reasons for rising concern (see my thread):
National elections are days away (Dec 23) & violence is rising. 2 dys ago someone set fire to the election warehouse, destroying 1000s of voting machines in Kinshasa.
