A year ago today, Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, told the public that health officials were preparing for a pandemic.

This made the former guy so mad he threatened to fire her.

* footnote on a random fact I had forgotten: Image
"The risk to the American people remains very low. ... When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done."

I wholeheartedly agree with virtually all of the sincere sentiments expressed in this thread. We should be proud of the fine work and incredible dedication of the talented people who worked at the Lincoln Project, as Ryan describes. That said, ....
... there must still be accountability and transparency for the handling of the Weaver fiasco, as well as of LP'a finances. And the fact that so many who worked so hard for LP are now calling for this should not considered "pettiness" or a "vendetta."

Indeed, the people who gave their time, energy, and money to the organization are owed that accountability and transparency, and the Lincoln Project would best honor them by providing it to them.

I guess it's time to face facts.

Neither the Constitution's impeachment mechanism (except for federal judges) nor section 4 of the 25th Amendment (except perhaps for comas) really works.
I mean, we've now had two presidential impeachment "trials" in which a grand total of zero witnesses were called, and which will have resulted in acquittals, despite overwhelming evidence of guilt.
And for four years, we had a president who, by virtue of his psychological disorders, would have been removed from virtually any other job of significant responsibility.

For the record: No one ever told me of these complaints being made to the Lincoln project, and the first I ever heard that Weaver may have done anything questionable were rumors I heard well after the election, and long after I ceased active involvement with the organization.
And I never received anything of value from the Lincoln Project, save for one very nice $169 Rode NT-USB condenser microphone, which Ron Steslow kindly provided to me for podcasting.
I don't begrudge those who did receive fair compensation for their work; they were political professionals who formed a tremendous team that did amazing work, from top to bottom, from start to finish. And I'm proud to have helped do whatever I could to defeat Donald Trump.

A year ago today, someone privately told Bob Woodward on tape that covid was "deadly stuff," "more deadly than even your strenuous flus.”

Weeks later, that same person was still publicly saying covid was "a flu," "like a flu," "like the regular flu that we have flu shots for."

"President Trump’s conduct must be declared unacceptable in the clearest and most unequivocal terms. This is not a partisan matter. His actions directly threatened the very foundation on which all other political debates and disagreements unfold."

"No enemy—foreign or domestic—had ever obstructed Congress’s counting of the votes. No President had ever refused to accept an election result or defied the lawful processes for resolving electoral disputes. Until President Trump."

"Surveying the tense crowd before him, President Trump whipped it into a frenzy, [and] aimed them straight at the Capitol, declaring: “'You’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.'"
