The Department of Defense is refusing to brief Biden transition team on Russia’s #SolarWindsHack.👇

That compromises U.S. national security, and likely violation of at least the spirit of the Presidential Transition Act.

Asked if the SolarWinds hack is an act of war (experts say no), Biden pivots. “First of all, it is a grave risk and it continues. I see no evidence that it is under control ... And the Defense Department won’t even brief us" on it.

Purge every Trump loyalist and appointee, January 20 at noon.

There are days I swear the 1960s phrase just rises up in me: “Up against the wall, motherf***rs!”

Line Nancy, I am counting the hours.

At least the ones that still have a job will be, anyhow.

There are some very short-sighted folks in the DOD. Some of them will no longer be employed by that department soon.
