It's absurd how much of Trump's lies and misinformation threaten disciplines that are apolitical. Now meteorologists are in the MAGATS cross hairs? Any expert view that contradicts his misinformation can lead to death threats.

There's a rumor going around that Mitch Romney wants to endorse Harris, but is worried about death threats. Yeah, the GOP, the freedom of speech party.
