There’s no question about it, technology is playing a bigger and bigger role in all aspects of our lives, especially when it comes to the way we consume news. Social media - and especially Twitter - was an important weapon for Donald Trump as he ascended to the ultimate position in the country. On the flip side, the same weapon that he wields to disseminate his own versions of the truth, to attack anyone who’d criticize him and to rant about whatever comes to mind, can also be used against him. Over the last few days, various anti-Trump rogue organizations have formed, and they’re all tweeting to get the word out. The most prominent such account is called Rogue POTUS Staff (@RoguePOTUSStaff), and it’s run by unknown, unhappy individuals who are supposedly working for the Trump administration. There’s no way to verify the authenticity of the newly minted Twitter channel, but the rogues have already posted many tweets detailing inside information from the White House. The Twitter account went viral in a matter of days - it was created on January 26th and it reached more than 298,000 followers since then. Here are some of the messages posted by the rogue staffers. As you can see, the rogues have been quite prolific on Trump’s first week in office: First tweet https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/824482563242815488 On who the (un)holy trinity is https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/824976890821763072 On Trump https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/824484739583213568 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/824486772340064256 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/824499661595701248 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/824640400753319936 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825694683531735040 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825695390737584128 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825697017250906112 On conflict of interest https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/824985494480117760 On Russia https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825177569939116032 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825436438170894336 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825437164263600129 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825437868155875328 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825439614227865601 On immigration https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825697017250906112 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825772359382626304 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825772650836480000 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825773651870019584 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825823650909650949 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825844574337826816 On inauguration https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/824781583706107904 On the wall https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/824792654357659648 On vote fraud https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/824989440691036162 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825034801656762368 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825037159040184320 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825078085716418560 On Obamacare https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825480997449953282 On staff https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/824496984182714368 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/824709634648928256 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825037669881217026 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825043009435738117 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825702831541874690 On rogues https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825085310170181633 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/824798748022800384 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825147501695086592 https://twitter.com/RoguePOTUSStaff/status/825148929922695168

On Monday evening, the White House released a statement saying acting Atty. Gen. Sally Yates had been fired for instructing Justice Department lawyers not to defend President Trump's travel ban. Yates has "betrayed the Department of Justice by refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States," the White House said . "Monday Night Massacre" was trending on Twitter within the hour. In 1973, President Nixon ordered the firing of special prosecutor Archibald Cox because he wouldn't obey Nixon's order to stop looking into Watergate.
