This list is coming from WH, so take it with a grain of salt. But if true, holy shit what an embarrassment for Europe.
Apparently half of EU countries have suddenly decided to send representatives to Trump's inaugural #BoardofPeace meeting today, mostly as observers.
As predicted, Meloni's(🧵1/5)

By next week, or perhaps even within 2 weeks, the GOP and right-wing media will be making excuses for pedophilia.
They have been aggressively pushing the "barely legal" and "underage" narrative for a month.
It must go into overdrive to protect Trump.
They'll do it. Just watch.

Why is it that we have money for war but not to feed the poor?! (Tupac was ahead of his time.)
To be clear Congress hasn’t been called in, at all, yet according to reports, this out of control President is inching towards a war in Iran.
We must check his power!
