Scared yet? Ted Lieu sends a red alert on Trump and nuclear first strikes

Link to tweet

Scared yet? If so, support HR 669 / S 200 by Sen @EdMarkey and me. The bipartisan legislation prevents @POTUS from launching a nuclear first strike without Congressional authorization.

"Thursday's decision by Jim Mattis to leave the stifling, rapidly collapsing confines of Trump’s insane clown posse administration was always inevitable, but that hardly makes the psychological impact of his departure any less traumatic." - @TheRickWilson

This is a hell of a way to face, well, anything. The new year, the holidays, anything.

Not to mention what the road ahead looks like. Right now, I'm putting a lot of hope on Robert Mueller and the incoming Democratic House to stop this insane creature from completely driving us over the cliff.
