Here’s a thread of everyone Trump has fired since losing the election. As I keep this, please remember the first concrete moves of a coup are always to secure control over the military, intelligence, and security services.
First up, Lisa Gordon-Hagerty, the head of the National Nuclear Security Administration - the Department of Energy organization that controls the US nuclear weapons stockpile. Fired 6 NOV 2020. defensenews.com/breaking-news/…
Second, Department of Defense Secretary Mark Esper. nytimes.com/2020/11/09/us/…
Third, Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, Joseph Kernan, and Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, James Anderson. defensenews.com/pentagon/2020/…

@jeffsessions & his Nazi aid #StephenMiller personally helped keep out thousands of #Afghan & #Iraqi #interpreters who were later murdered by the very enemies we asked them to help us fight or died drowning in the Mediterranean or Adriatic Sea. #SIV #NOLBMoralObligation #NOLB
As chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee @jeffsessions oversaw all immigration legislation before the Senate. He & his Nazi aid #StephenMiller, who advised him on matters of immigration, made sure that any time we asked for more visas we were denied or fought at every turn.
Once Nazi #StephenMiller was in the White House he went about dismantling the Special Immigration Visa #SIV program. He forced out all of its advocates in government and installed sycophants who did his bidding. Tens of thousands have suffered under his cruel rule.

Tonight scared me. This whole week has scared me. This whole month. Six. Long. Days. This fucking year. So. Much. More. To. Come.
It’s time to talk some real serious scary but necessary talk.
Here’s what I think you should do immediately to survive what I fear may come next.

1. I can’t stop thinking about how so much of our suffering could have been prevented if we didn’t have @realDonaldTrump as #POTUS. #coronavirus #Covid_19
2. In 2006, I was part of a team at @SyracuseU @MaxwellSU hired by @HomelandDems to evaluate and make recommendations on how to improve upon the plans the #Bush Administration (quite prudently) developed in 2005 in preparation for an inevitable pandemic. securitypolicylaw.syr.edu/wp-content/upl…
3. #Congress passed our recommendations into law in 2007. The @BarackObama admin improved upon them throughout their time in office. The #Trump team spent the last three years dismantling all of that hard and necessary work - immeasurably compounding the disaster we now face.

(1) I had the honor to meet with @SenJohnMcCain on four occasions in my life. The first was when I volunteered for his first Presidential Campaign in 2000. I was 18. I met him at the Rochester, NY Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Highland Park on a cold February Saturday evening.
2. I had spent the afternoon helping to set up the rally and in so doing, got to meet several Vietnam War Veterans, two of whom had served as POWs with Sen. McCain.
3. I’ll never forget the moment he stepped off his Straight Talk Express Bus and into the scrum of media, campaign staff, and adoring fans (at least a thousand people attended the rally in the cold and cramped conditions).
