See? Breathe.
By the way, saying it in the way he said is highly unusual, particularly for the occasion. He went a bit ahead of what generals usually say along these lines. He's talking to Trump and moreover, to nervous Americans. usatoday.com/videos/news/na…
And for those asking about this summer, he's addressed that, too. npr.org/2020/06/11/875…
Trump did to Gen. Milley this summer what he's done to numerous people: brought them into a situation under other pretenses and then made them part of his terrible messaging. Trump has a history of doing this. Milley called out his bullshit.

Hey friends, I woke up to some angry messages over this screenshot from a tweet I wrote from back in May, so I'd like to revisit what happened and again apologize to those who have every right to be upset by what appears to be me mocking people for contracting COVID. (thread)
At the time, my sole purpose was to slam Trump and GA Gov. Brian Kemp for their catastrophic handling of COVID. I was angry over their response and the way they've ignored scientists, and this was my smug attempt to point out just how incredibly wrong and irresponsible they were.
It didn't even cross my mind--not even a little--that people would interpret this as anything OTHER than slamming Trump and Kemp because who would mock anyone (other than dangerous assholes like Trump and Kemp) for contracting COVID?

Hey @clairecmc, have you ever considered that transgender and non-binary people are part of the working class? That until this summer, in most of the United States, we could be fired from our working class jobs solely for being trans?
If you're cisgender and eager to leap to Claire McCaskill's defense of this, you really need to take a break here and rethink your approach.
You know, I really do try to offer grace as much as possible on these things. People can be confused or uninformed and engage in good faith. But when you're a former U.S. senator being paid to comment on politics, you have a responsibility to get it right. She didn't even try.

Hey! Are you going to vote today and it's your first time or maybe you're just unfamiliar and you're not sure how to do it?

No worries at all. Even experienced voters have to sometimes check and make sure their ducks are in a row.

Here are some quick bits of advice. (thread)
1. Make sure you're registered to vote and find out where to vote. You can do both of those here: iwillvote.com

Just plug in your address for the polling location and basic ID information for the registration, and voila!

Easy. Takes 30 seconds.
2. It's totally fine and common to get to your polling place and realize you don't know how to vote. That's why the election workers are there. Their intended purpose is to make the process as smooth and easy as possible. You should feel free to ask them anything about voting.

There are less than 3 days until the election and as with every cycle, there are folks who believe their vote doesn't matter. But if you ask anyone who was living in Virginia in 2017 + voted, regardless of their party, they'll tell you a single vote can mean everything. (thread)
New Jersey and Virginia have their elections in odd-numbered years, and the 2017 gubernatorial and legislature elections were seen as the first big referendums on the Trump White House. At the time, Democrats were very pessimistic. 2016 had rattled us for obvious reasons.
But folks were volunteering and canvassing and calling voters, and on election night, it paid off. Big. Ralph Northam was elected governor in a near-landslide. Dems swept statewide offices. But the big surprise was the State House...

This document is fascinating. The Trump White House compiled 34 pages of celebrity outreach information with details on their political leanings for what became a failed COVID-related campaign reelection effort: oversight.house.gov/sites/democrat…
@chrissyteigen: "Teigen is a vocal critic of President Trump"

No shit 😂
@Beyonce: "Has a net rating of 63% favorable among democrats, and -3% among Rep."

Since inauguration, Trump has lied to the public 22,247 times in 1,317 days, thru Aug. 11th. The team at @washingtonpost who tracks these in a database (+ refers to them broadly as "misleading claims") reported last week they're two months behind schedule because of the volume.
That's nearly 17 lies a day Trump has told, every single day, to the public, for nearly four years.
