THREAD: Donald Trump is threatening to sue the Lincoln Project again – this time because we’re telling the world about Trump’s close and personal relationship with the pedophile and convicted sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Trump is panicking because he sees the MAGA base turning against him.
The Lincoln Project’s TLDR response to the President of the United States: Go fuck yourself; We look forward to discovery and taking your deposition, as well as that of Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and the 1000 FBI agents they used to review the Epstein materials.
From Lincoln Project Executive Director Jeff Timmer, “The Lincoln Project is not afraid and will not be bullied by a tyrant. Unlike some law firms, universities, and media companies, Trump’s bloviating, flaccid threat only makes us more determined to speak truth to power and defeat the Republican/MAGA cult. PS, Donald, release the Epstein Files and don’t forget to pay E. Jean Carrol for that sexual assault judgment.”
🧵: Trump’s bill would be a working class massacre. House Republicans know it will most hurt constituents in red districts who rely on Medicaid & SNAP benefits to make ends meet.
The GOP Reps below are still deciding their votes. Call them now and tell them to vote NO.
THREAD: Key questions today for every reporter and Congressman looking into #Signalgate:
1. How can anyone (aka Trump) trust Mike Waltz going forward since he's so dumb as to add a reporter to such a highly secretive group chat?
2. Why did Hegseth copy war planning information from the military computer systems onto a Signal chat?
3. Hegseth needs to explain why he thought all those people needed the war plans? On MSNBC Goldberg indicated the Sec of Treasury was in the chat…. Why?
4. Why did no one on the National Security Team - including the Dir. of the CIA and WH COS - not STOP it and say Signal is not an appropriate tool. Why did no one check the chat to see who was on it?
5. Witkoff was in Moscow… why did he join such a highly sensitive group on a civilian phone while INSIDE RUSSIA? Is that considered OPSEC? (The answer is no)
THREAD: @Therickwilson was just kicked off X for 30 days b/c he talked about how to make Elon personally feel the same economic pain he's whacking the country with. And Elon didn't like that.
Elon and his VP Trump spent the last week trying to silence dissenters - including the press and judges - all while pretending to be victimized. They will wreck the 1st Amendment if we don't continue to stand up.
We know how to take the fight to MAGA, and it's working, clearly. Please help us keep it up: action.lincolnproject.us/donate
THREAD: Elon & Trump’s NOAA layoffs means fewer weather balloons, meteorologists, tracking available to monitor level 5 tornadoes heading to the Midwest & Southeast. 100M ppl will be at risk w/ fewer resources to stay safe.
Please share this thread w/ anyone in the storm’s path:
