    Wake up folks. When 10 former SecDefs, including Esper and Mattis, join up & warn of dangers of military intervention in elections, they smell something, they feel something, they are worried. People need to have courage of their convictions on this one

    There are reports -- unsubtantiated thus far -- that some Russian and Belarusian leaders are flying private planes to Turkey. If 'true' @RTErdogan who is running a nation that is a @NATO ally needs to know that giving those leaders refuge in this crisis is unacceptable. They

    This is a big deal. @JayTimmonsNAM does not freelance. He must have backing of some of the largest corporations in America. Timmons has been underscoring presidential dereliction on Covid as well for many months

    The WH and President Biden have previously expressed great frustration with the OPEC decision to cut production. I’m told no decisions have been made and leadership hasn’t been briefed. One official said “there is no decision yet.”  3/4

    Fact check. During session w/visiting Baltic leaders Prez Trump said US contributes 80% of NATO expenses. The number is actually 22% and Germany’s contribution is about 15%. Just wanted you to know. Will disc w/@craigmelvin @McFaul @PJCrowley @MSNBC
