  Read the memo.  This is why, in multiple hearings this month alone, members of the MAGA Freedom caucus complicit in the Big Lie harped on a “censorship industrial complex” that never existed and “22 million tweets” that were never censored.  —  They need these things to be “true”…

  We are now revoking the security clearances of the *associates* of people who “falsely and baselessly denied that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen”.  —  www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/ ...  CISA now somehow censored the Hunter Biden Laptop too.  Read this.  Brain-rotted de…

  Trump has signed an EO to investigate and revoke the clearances of one of his top cybersecurity officials from the first admin, former CISA director Chris Krebs - who famously confirmed the integrity of the 2020 election.

• @joeuchill Joe Uchill on bluesky

  Taylor is the brunt of the Mediaite's story, but investigating Chris Krebs is noteworthy to anyone concerned with democracy.  Krebs was the CISA head who clashed with Trump over election fraud.  —  This will have a chilling effect to anyone involved in the oversite, auditing or d…

  No confidence that cyber will do better given the money at stake in federal contracts, never mind the secondary kinds of trouble easy enough to imagine.  This is the consequence of telling the truth about the 2020 election.  Also, as for censoring conservatives, Chris Krebs is a …

  So I stuck up for Sean Plankey as future CISA, now time to stick up for Chris Krebs, past CISA - this shit is bonkers and should give pause to anyone even considering federal employment if this kind of shit is what you get for doing your job:  —  www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/ .…

  Trump signed an executive order calling for the DOJ to investigate Chris Krebs, who headed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA).  —  All Krebs did was tell the truth about the 2020 election, including that voting machines didn't flip votes.  —  For that, he was fire…

  The 2020 election was free and fair, and Donald Trump lost.  —  And he is now targeting public servants like Chris Krebs, then head of CISA, who told the truth about that.  [image]

  The 2020 election was free and fair.  Donald Trump lost.  Chris Krebs & other public servants told the truth about this.  They were fired, and now they're having the retribution experience.  Trump is revoking the security clearances of people who he says “falsely and baselessly d…

  This should concern everyone.  This is an attempt not only at revenge, but to stoke fear and discourage resistance.

• @oliviaoftroye @oliviaoftroye on threads

  This is incredibly disturbing.  I warned Trump would do this & that he would falsely claim “treason.”  He's issuing Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor—two Republican officials who served in his first admin. Ordering the DOJ to investigate them for what?  For …

  Trump has signed an executive order targeting Miles Taylor and Chris Krebs.  This is an act of revenge, not an act of justice.  He's targeting Taylor because Taylor wrote a book, and this article linked below. …

  Don't forget: Karoline says the administration is looking into potential of deporting citizens for “heinous” crimes (like “trumped” up treason charges).  In Germany, some of the first people put into detainment camps were the people in Hitler's own party who disagreed with him. …

  I said this would happen. Dissent isn't unlawful. It certainly isn't treasonous. America is headed down a dark path. Never has a man so inelegantly proved another man's point.

• @hfields47 Harrison Fields on x

  Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum revoking any active security clearance held by Chris Krebs and his associates. President Trump has made clear that loyalty to the United States must come before personal or partisan agendas, taking decisive action

• @stephenfhayes Stephen Hayes on x

  Outrageous. Trump is targeting by name a civil servant widely respected by both Republicans and Democrats. And he's doing so in service of his false claims - thoroughly and repeatedly debunked - that he won the 2020 election. This won't stop here.

• @nicoleperlroth Nicole Perlroth on x

  This will get lost in trade news, but Trump just signed EO ordering DOJ to investigate Chris Krebs (who oversaw 2020 election security) and Miles Taylor for TREASON. In case it's not clear, this is an authoritarian knife to the throat of anyone that would choose country over

• @sarahamatthews1 Sarah Matthews on x

  Before the election, I warned repeatedly that Trump would go after those he saw as political enemies. Now he's targeting a public servant who simply did his job and told the truth about the 2020 election being secure because it doesn't fit with his lies.

• @tvietor08 Tommy Vietor on x

  Trump is directing DOJ to investigate Chris Krebs, a former US official, just for saying the 2020 election was secure! This is completely insane. He is bringing down the full weight of the US government on someone for doing his job and telling the truth.

• @greggnunziata Gregg Nunziata on x

  Disgraceful, gangster behavior, behind the Resolute desk. It may no longer surprise, but a free people should not lose the capacity to be outraged by the corrupt abuse of the massive powers of government to target the president's perceived enemies, including individuals.

• @rohanspatel Rohan Patel on x

  Any honest person sees Trump for who he is - a man with no integrity at all. Going after one of his own political appointees for telling the truth about the 2020 election. Just when you thought Trump couldn't go any lower... He'll throw anybody under the bus at any time and

  This is yet another outrage in a presidency dedicated to revenge and retribution. I know Chris. He took a class from me in the 1990s and is a @UVA alum. He is a smart, honest professional who did his job at CISA very well. Trump fired him by tweet after the 2020 election because

• @greggnunziata Gregg Nunziata on x

  This is the President, in the Oval Office, using the vast powers we have entrusted to him for four years, to single out for punishment a single person for the crime of telling the truth. This should terrify you. This should provoke bipartisan outrage. This alone justifies

• @timodc Tim Miller on x

  This is madness. Chris Krebs was a public servant, a GOP appointee, who *did his job* ensuring the 2020 election was secure. For our government to target him like this is appalling & Stalinesque. Any person who reveres our constitutional republic should speak out against it.

  President Trump has just ordered the DOJ to investigate Chris Krebs for his role in the stolen 2020 election. More than 4 years, I was the first reporter to investigate Krebs and what I found was shocking. Just consider the following tweets from 2020!

• @danielsgoldman Daniel Goldman on x

  Trump's direction to DOJ to investigate Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor because he doesn't like what they said is an unprecedented abuse of power by a President of the United States. I call on all Congressional Republicans to condemn this egregious weaponization of the government.
