THREAD: Since stepping back into the Oval Office Trump's been purposefully flooding the zone w/ a constant stream of outrage porn to distract. Here's the stories that actually matter that you might've missed this week: Representative Milliotakis says Doge is making “rash decisions” and needs to act in a more responsible manner.

THREAD: Donald Trump and his boss Elon Musk have spent the last 34 days “streamlining” the government. As predicted, the result of two weirdos “streamlining” a government that has thrived for 250 years is complete chaos. We're fighting them every step of the way. Consider pitching in to help us stop their destruction: action.lincolnproject.us/donate They’ve blown up entire agencies, fired thousands of essential workers, sent dozens of mixed signals, and generally taken a flame thrower to the federal government. Now, they want to take the next big step: screwing with our budget.

Look, there’s probably nobody more trustworthy than the idiot real estate “mogul” who’s gone bankrupt like 100 times and the billionaire whose stock price is down about 24% over the last month, but the people deserve to know a little bit more than what they’re telling us.

THREAD: House GOP wants to ram through a budget package tomorrow, gutting Medicaid to cut taxes for billionaires. Seniors in hospice, disabled children, and workers without employee insurance all get screwed.

nytimes.com/2025/02/06/hea… Reports say DOGE is targeting 50% in staff cuts at the National Weather Service that warns of hurricanes and blizzards and provides Tsunami warnings after earthquakes. With this critical agency hobbled, what will be the Doge Death Toll?

🧵: Democracy demands elected leaders do not cave into threats, or fears, of violence. If you're in Congress afraid for your safety, you must tell the Capitol Police to get protection. Or it's time to quit the institution & let someone else do the job. rawstory.com/morning-joe-to… Violence has no place in the system, and they want you afraid so you will go along with whatever insane, undemocratic, or morally bankrupt program they are pushing through. It's the fear that kills democracy and destroys American values.

THREAD: The Lincoln Project accepts that America has voted to re-elect Donald Trump on his victory. We believe in this democracy and in the peaceful transfer of power when the voters have spoken. Four years ago when he lost by over seven million votes, Donald Trump’s Big Lie tore the country apart. For the first time in American history, there was no peaceful transition of power.

THREAD: Members of the iconic West Wing television show reunited to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for President in a new ad created in partnership with the Lincoln Project.
The group released this statement of endorsement:
“We had the good fortune to work together on a television show called The West Wing. Our White House was a make-believe world. We dealt with real-life issues, from reproductive rights to national security, but when we went home at the end of the day, no one’s life was changed based on what happened in our fictional world.

🧵: Happy Halloween 🎃 Reality is scarier than fiction sometimes, and the GOP proves that every day with their dark vision for America. This election, let's make sure these horror films full of monsters and criminals don't become a reality 👹😱

🧵: MAGA GOPers always put on a front for voters, but Trump’s Nazi rally yesterday took their masks off and revealed them as the real bigots, fascists and crooks they are. Thankfully, we have a strong chance to defeat many of them at the ballot box next week. It’s time to look behind all their empty words and unveil their true, ugly record to the voters.

@tedcruz (R, TX), our least favorite Cancun tourist, is a profile in cowardice, spending his entire career running away and betraying his own constituents when they need him the most. .@SenRickScott (R, FL) has only ever been in it for himself, not everyday Floridians. Look no further than him committing the biggest Medicare fraud in history.

THREAD: Today’s announcement by the Colorado Secretary Of State’s Office stating an attempt at vote fraud was prevented serves to illustrate the system is working and holding up against serious efforts of election interference. denverpost.com/2024/10/24/mes… But this – along with the burning of a ballot box in Arizona – are only the first attempts to deny voters their basic unalienable right to choose their own leaders.

THREAD: #HurricaneMilton has rapidly strengthened into a Category 5 hurricane on a path toward Florida population centers. If you live in the affected areas, be prepared and make sure to use or share these resources with anyone who may be in need:

THREAD: Today The Lincoln Project joined with @Ga1stPplOverPol in filing an Amicus Curiae with the Georgia Superior Court to strike down the unworkable and idiotic new rules adopted by the Georgia State Elections Board just weeks before the election. “These conspiracy theory-fueled board actions are an attempt to legislate by rule and cannot be allowed to go unchallenged. When elections are politicized, everyone loses. America loses. Good governance is not a partisan issue,” said lifelong Republican and @Ga1stPplOverPol founder and exec director Natalie Crawford."

THREAD: Tonight, our thoughts are with those being affected by #HurricaneHelene in the Southeast, we are reminded that Project 2025 promises to eliminate the vital agencies that American citizens struck by natural disasters are relying on today. Donald Trump's Project 2025 would:
- cut FEMA
- kill the National Weather Service (NWS) and the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
- kill federal-backed flood insurance
- kill emergency disaster funding for state/local govts

THREAD:
How will you feel the morning after Election Day?

Will it be a repeat of that brutal November day in 2016 when millions of Americans woke up to the reality that a sexual predator, serial liar, and the most dangerous man to ever hold the office would become President? Watch our latest ad “That Morning” here:

THREAD: Today, The Lincoln Project received a cease and desist for an ad currently running on Fox News in Mar-a-Lago. As it turns out, these losers can’t stand to be laughed at or mocked, and LaCivita and Wiles apparently didn’t appreciate that our ad states the obvious– Chris and Susie have royally screwed up Trump’s campaign and selected for him the weirdest ever VP candidate — kookier even than Sarah Palin. Poor Trump. His campaign is in shambles and so is his mind. He brought back Corey Lewandowski—
