@RDPHistory Happy belated birthday!

The Washington Post reports that Michael Anton and Sebastian Gorka had a falling out over who should receive credit for writing Trump's speeches. This is incorrect. In this thread, I will tell you the real reason why Anton dislikes Gorka. 🧵

Trump is the first president-elect ever to not sign an agreement that makes transition donations public. That means no one knows who is contributing to his transition, and how much, and it also allows foreign donations. I don't believe even Trump supporters think this is a good idea. https://t.co/YdPy5hSz5X

"NOT A FOOT BACK"

The soon-to-be-released new WW2 history by Captain Iain Miskimmin and Ricky D Phillips, which tells the story of the lost unit of the BEF in their own words, in a brutal last stand to ensure that the Miracle of Dunkirk could happen.

Out soon!!

We’re about to find out whether there are any patriots among Republican Senators, or whether they’ll make excuses for the foreign-backed demolition of our Republic that is now plainly underway.

As everyone is now in a sufficient state of shock, what we are seeing now is the rollout of the plan for fast and total capture and destruction of the United States, as outlined in "Project Russia." See paper below. Other democracies are next.

Biden must urgently act with the Europeans to transfer frozen Russian assets to Kyiv—not just the interest but the capital. This money—more than $300 billion—can be used to purchase weapons, rebuild the country, and keep the economy going for many months. https://t.co/xefQjR5Ltr

Ravi bought insurance thinking it would deliver on its promise of access to mental health care providers. After 21 phone calls and multiple hospitalizations, no one could find him a therapist.

“I don’t want to die,” he told his mom.

GOP Congressman Tony Gonzales
on Matt Gaetz: He paid minors to have sex with him at drug parties.

So beautiful you’re gonna take her Social Security, her Medicare, her husband’s VA benefits, her pension, and her disability assistance and she’s gonna have to pay an additional $3900 in taxes to afford your tariffs, so even if she’s lucky enough to remain healthy she’ll be broke

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

When you voted for Trump, you voted to put Tulsi Gabbard, a Russian asset, in charge of our nation’s intelligence. That’s what you voted for. Congratulations.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: We are resurfacing this clip of Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin calling Matt Gaetz a sexual predator for no particular reason.

As a Member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am deeply concerned about what this nomination portends for our national security.

My Republican colleagues with a backbone should speak out. (3/3)

[Archive: Rep. Abigail Spanberger @RepSpanberger]

Not only is she ill-prepared and unqualified, but she traffics in conspiracy theories and cozies up to dictators like Bashar-al Assad and Vladimir Putin. (2/3)

[Archive: Rep. Abigail Spanberger @RepSpanberger]

As a former CIA case officer, I saw the men and women of the U.S. intelligence community put their lives on the line every day for this country — and I am appalled at the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard to lead DNI. (1/3)

Trump's new border czar, Tom Homan, is warning people to "self deport." This is not a joke: As we reported, it's likely Trump and his allies will use the bureaucracy in ugly ways to destabilize the lives of immigrants here and maximize their suffering:
