"This is a Reichstag moment," Milley told aides, according to the book... Milley told aides he feared it "could be the modern American equivalent of 'brownshirts in the streets.'" It doesn't get much more serious than this. https://t.co/FS3s6fiLwg

It’s amazing that the entire conservative ecosystem was saying any coup concern was derangement meanwhile the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is comparing it to Reichstag.

By far the worst miss of the decade and literally none of them have apologized or rethought their posture https://t.co/lYTGDApj7p

Donald Trump and the GOP were ready to stage a coup against the U.S. The chair of the joint chiefs and top military officials were planning how to stop them.

This is the reason The Lincoln Project exists — why we continue to fight. We must put a stop to Republican extremism.

The real takeaway from Milley's fear of a Trump coup is that we should not rely on the virtue of individual actors next time. Instead, we need reforms to certification and the Electoral Count Act -- and suspension of the filibuster to pass them. My latest:https://t.co/bdfUutedyv

If these revelations are true and Milley was in fact concerned and expressing his concern about a possible coup to fellow military officials and law enforcement in the days leading to Jan. 6, HOW WERE THEY SO UTTERLY UNPREPARED FOR THAT DAY????

To be clear, Trump and the Republican’s continued selling of the The Big Lie is, in a very real sense, an ongoing attempted coup. I adopt General Milley’s approach to this challenge to our democracy:
“They may try, but they are not going to f***ing succeed!”

If General Milley is called to testify in the January 6th select committee, the former guy is going to go through some things.

When the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff compares Trump to Hitler, that is nothing to gloss over.

This story is a must read and should make every patriotic American vomit. It is essential that General Milley be called before the House Armed Forces Committee and be put under oath. The American people have a right to this information. Terrifying https://t.co/iivbM9lITY

Nobody had better ever give me any shit again for having compared Trump to Hitler. It turns out the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs said the same damn thing.
