#NeverForget The "Tea Party" was an astroturf movement promoted by Fox News and the Koch Brothers to channel racist anger at Obama's election under the cover of concern about the debt. It succeeded by brainwashing tens of millions of people & helped the GOP win the 2010 midterms.
When Trump arrived, the "Tea Party" caucus pulled off their masks and revealed their sick, stupid, racist core. As Trump ran up the debt by $8T, screwing workers in the process, the Tea Party mutated into the Proud Boys, #Qanon and the "America First" caucus.
While still clinging to "The Party of Lincoln" mantle, today's racist @GOP is really the Party of Gaetz, Jordan, Boebert & MTG. Their only hope for success in the midterms is #votersuppression & the same kinds of lies and propaganda that worked in 2010. We can't let that happen.

In 2017 Matt Gaetz was the ONLY "no" vote on anti-human trafficking bill. He later claimed to have "adopted" a young boy from Cuba, but without filling out any legal paperwork. He still calls the boy, Nestor, his "son." How is this guy in Congress? Are @MyFLFamilies OK with this?
Before he "adopted" 12 year-old Nestor, Matt Gaetz, at a retreat paid for by the Florida GOP, became drunk and unruly, and tried to bribe a hotel clerk to give him the key to the room of Rep. Jose Oliva late at night because he was desperate for a "cigar.” miamiherald.com/news/politics-…
ICYMI: Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz has privately engaged in several spending practices in his nearly four years in office that appear to be in conflict with the House’s ethics rules, a POLITICO investigation has found. politico.com/news/2020/07/2…

In May, Governor Doug Burgum (R-ND) fought back tears discussing masks during his daily press briefing about coronavirus.

Today, North Dakota has the highest infection rate in the nation and more than 1 in 600 people in North Dakota have died of #COVID19
South Dakota has the second highest #COVID19 infection rate in the country and more than 1 in 600 South Dakotans have died.

This week, a federal judge said Governor Kristi Noem "has done little, if anything," to stop the spread. thedailybeast.com/federal-judge-…
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds followed Trump’s lead in downplaying the virus & never imposed a stay-at-home order. In November, the test-positivity rate reached 50%. Iowa now has America's 3rd highest infection rate. Nearly 1 in 800 Iowans have died of #COVID19.

Trump didn't drain the swamp. He drained the Treasury. #MAGA #Corruption nbcnews.com/business/busin…
I first wrote about Trump's Corona Corruption in April. #Corruption #Profiteering thedailyedge.substack.com/p/corona-corru…
In April, the PPP website for all the Mom-and-Pop small businesses kept crashing. But somehow the Trump Administration corruption kept humming along like a fine-tuned machine. #Corruption #Profiteering thedailyedge.substack.com/p/corona-corru…

Trump is a psychopathic criminal cult leader in league with foreign powers and money lenders, backed by a corrupt, compromised party and a propaganda media network. If unstopped, he will criminalize dissent and embrace authoritarianism.

Here's a thread laying it all out: (1/9)
To truly understand Trump and the danger he represents, we need to first diagnose his psychiatric condition. He's not just a narcissist. As @DutytoInform explains, he's a psychopath: thedailyedge.substack.com/p/diagnosis-ps… (2/9)
Trump is also, undoubtedly, a criminal. Setting aside Mueller and impeachment, here's a list of 10 known crimes--from sexual assault to racial discrimination to tax fraud to money laundering--that we know he committed even BEFORE he became President: thedailyedge.substack.com/p/the-crimes-o… (3/9)

I wrote this about Trump's #nursinghome negligence at the end of July: thedailyedge.substack.com/p/trumps-nursi…

The Washington Post is now reporting there have been 7,000 additional nursing home deaths since the end of September. (1/3) #NursingHomeSlaughter #TrumpHatesSeniors
WaPo: Seema Verma, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services head, vowed in late March to “keep what happened in Kirkland from happening again.” Since then, "homes that received a clean bill of health earlier this year had about 290,000 coronavirus cases and 43,000 deaths" (2/3)
Since March, more than 70,000 nursing home residents have died, plus hundreds of staff members, making up about 30% of U.S. coronavirus deaths.

“This pandemic’s death toll at #nursinghomes was not an inevitability," says Dean Lerner. (3/3) washingtonpost.com/business/2020/… #COVID19
