🚨BREAKING: Trump begged Republican @GaSecofState Brad Raffensperger to “find” enough votes to overturn his defeat in an extraordinary 1-hour phone call Saturday that experts say raises “legal questions.”

Lordy, there are tapes!😎

💣@washingtonpost *got a recording* of the conversation—Trump alternately berated Raffensperger, tried to flatter him, begged him and THREATENED him with vague criminal consequences if Raffensperger refused to pursue his false claims, warning that he was taking “a big risk.”
Trump repeatedly claimed: “There’s no way I lost Georgia. There’s no way. We won by hundreds of thousands of votes.”🙄

“So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.”

THIS IS NOT LEGAL.
Trump THREATENED both Raffensperger and Ryan Germany (Raffensperger’s lawyer), suggesting that if they don’t find that thousands of ballots in Fulton County were illegally destroyed to block investigators—which did NOT happen—they would be subject to “criminal” liability.🤬
Legal experts say that by pressuring Raffensperger to “find” votes and to deploy investigators who “want to find answers,” Trump appears to be encouraging him to doctor the election outcome in #Georgia.

This is a #felony.🤬
Trump cited FALSE conspiracy theories to “support” his claims:

-thousands of dead people voted
-an Atlanta election worker scanned 18,000 forged ballots 3 times each and “100%” were for @JoeBiden
-thousands of voters living out of state came back illegally just to vote
The stupidest part: Trump committed (yet another) CRIME to try to flip the election results in #Georgia, but even with Georgia, Trump STILL LOST THE ELECTION.😂

‼️After Dr. @Cleavon_MD Gilman was FIRED by Yuma Regional for speaking the truth about the #coronavirus pandemic, @CorriganWright—an ICU nurse at the hospital—RESIGNED over “mistreatment and negligence” from the hospital’s administration.

#COVID19

azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
Wright was enraged by a "lack of action” stemming from the #coronavirus outbreak at the #Arizona State Prison Complex in Yuma where >1,400 inmates & >1,500 staff have tested positive.

Sick inmates were treated at the hospital—guards were forced stay close *without adequate PPE*.
Wright emailed hospital administrators about the risk to prison staff, but her manager “told me to shut my mouth.”🤬

THIS IS SO WRONG.

Our frontline healthcare workers are heroes, who are valiantly fighting to SAVE LIVES. We must listen to them!

🚨BREAKING: the new, more contagious #coronavirus B 1.1.7 variant—1st identified in the UK—now found in at least 2 people in #California and #Colorado.

Neither person had a travel history, meaning that this new variant is spreading thru US communities.🦠

nytimes.com/2020/12/30/hea…
‼️This new, more contagious #coronavirus variant has emerged while the US is reporting nearly 200,000 new #COVID19 cases per day,

Even worse, only 2.1 million have been vaccinated—FAR SHORT of the 20 million by year end promised by the Trump Admin.🤬
The 2nd case of infection by this new #coronavirus variant was reported in San Diego County in a 30-yo-man who’d NOT traveled outside the US—a sign that the variant is already spreading thru US communities. A household contact has developed symptoms and is being tested.🦠😷

🚨BAD NEWS: 2 cases of a new "more transmissible" #coronavirus variant linked to #SouthAfrica identified in the UK.

This new variant appears to have *mutated further* than the new B.1.1.7 variant recently discovered in the UK. [thread]

#COVID19
news.sky.com/story/covid-19…
CONCERNING: The UK recently reported a its own new #coronavirus variant (B.1.1.7) that may be more transmissible.

The UK and South African (501.V2) variants appear to be "more transmissible," but they're "very different" and are "different mutations".🧬

Both #coronavirus variants have the *same N501Y mutation* in the spike gene. The South African 501.V2 variant:

▶️Is more common in younger adults
▶️Has higher viral load, spreads more easily

The vaccines still appear to work, but that could change.💉

🚨WORRISOME: infections in the UK soar with mutant #coronavirus strain B.1.1.7 that appears to spread more easily between people.

#B117 strain acquired 17 mutations *all at once* (including 8 in the spike protein gene)👉🏼never seen before in this virus. 1/
sciencemag.org/news/2020/12/m…
GOOD NEWS: the @WHO says the #coronavirus vaccine should still work against this new variant spreading quickly in the UK.

The B.1.1.7 variant may be more transmissible, but there's no evidence it increases the “severity associated with this disease.”🙏🏼
globalnews.ca/news/7535146/c…
⚠️It's NOT the first time the #coronavirus mutated. As more people become immune—via infection or a #vaccine—the virus is under selective pressure to evade the immune response.

This could become like flu, where we have to update our vaccine each year.

‼️GRIFTERS: Nearly half of the $1.26 billion raised for Trump’s campaign was funneled into Jared Kushner’s shell company that spent hundreds of millions of dollars to pay Trump family members, along with other expenditures it wanted to keep under wraps.

vanityfair.com/news/2020/12/j…
Kush’s shell company acted “almost like a campaign within a campaign” to shield “financial and operational details from public scrutiny,” as it allowed the campaign to avoid federally mandated disclosures concerning where it was spending big bucks.

THIS IS ILLEGAL.🤬
Kush knows all about violating election laws, as his felon dad, Charles Kushner, went to PRISON for illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering, including trying to extort his own brother-in-law after filming his with a prostitute.💥

‼️IVANKA TRUMP *personally intervened* to spin @CDCgov messaging on #COVID19 and schools—part of a systematic pattern of Team Trump’s deadly meddling during the #pandemic.

“Every time that the science clashed with the messaging, messaging won”🤬

[thread]
nytimes.com/2020/12/16/us/…
🔥@GOP Trump appointees—Kyle McGowan, a former CDC chief of staff under Trump, and his deputy, Amanda Campbell—just went public on the Trump administration’s “manipulation of the agency” during the deadly #coronavirus pandemic.

More than 300,000 Americans are now DEAD.🤬
Last week, the editor in chief of the CDC’s highly regarded @CDCMMWR weekly disease outbreak reports—previously considered untouchable—told @HouseDemocrats she was “ordered to destroy an email showing Trump appointees attempting to meddle with their publication.”

CRIMINAL.🤬
