Doran also appeared to urge a mass storming of Washington, D.C., on Inauguration Day if his prophecy does not come to pass. According to Doran’s social media rant, Executive Order 13848, which Trump signed in 2018, will be weaponized to arrest the president-elect for conspiring with foreign actors to rig the election.

Jerry Doran’s online rant

“Don’t forget, it’s We the People, okay? Executive Order 13848 is coming out. It’s been out, and Donald Trump helped create it. It’s going to come back to bite him because it says how we have to proceed when there’s outside interference in our elections. There definitely has been. They’re going to reveal it on December 20th because 45 days from November 6th brings us to December 20th—six days from today, Friday,” Doran said in his social media rant.

Doran further said that if the Executive Order 13848 is not implemented next week, then by January 20 “We the People are going to have to show up in Washington and have this guy step down.” He further said, “The 3% rule states that if 3% of a group’s population gathers in mass, they can change everything. We have 330 million Americans. Ten percent of that is 33 million. And what’s a third of that? Eleven million. Eleven million of us need to show up in Washington, D.C., on January 20th and have this guy step down. He’ll see 11 million people—talk about a crowd. He’ll have a coronary and step down. We’ve got to do it. For those of us in New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Long Island, Connecticut—everybody—we’ve got to converge on Washington. Black, white, trans, LGBTQ2, drag queens—peacefully and coincidentally—we’re going to meet and have this guy step down. That’s our fail-safe.”

Trump’s inauguration as the 47th president of the US is set to take place on January 20 next year on the West Front of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. He is expected to deliver an inaugural address. Joe Biden has confirmed that he will be in attendance, and has ensured apeaceful transfer of power.

San Diego International Airport will soon have a direct flight to Washington, D.C.’s Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, thanks to approval Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Alaska Airlines will run the direct flights to the coveted location, after proposing the route when the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 passed. The airline will allocate additional flights to and from heavily regulated Reagan National — also known as DCA.

DCA is significantly closer to the nation’s capital than the next nearest airport, Dulles International.

“We are very pleased with the DOT’s approval of Alaska Airlines to begin service between SAN and DCA,” said Kimberly Becker, president and CEO of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. “This route will provide significant convenience for our defense, biotech and communications sectors that require efficient access to the nation’s capital.

“We appreciate the DOT’s thoughtful analysis, and we are grateful to the many elected officials, industry sectors, and communities who spoke up in support of this service,” she added.

Due to DCA’s much closer proximity to Capitol Hill, the White House and other important buildings in Washington, D.C., the DOT requires that nonstop flights from cities farther than 1,250 miles get special approval.

Before Tuesday’s decision, San Diego was the nation’s largest market without nonstop service to DCA.

Resident physicians affiliated with George Washington University Hospital reached a tentative agreement late Monday, averting a three-day strike that was set to go into effect at 6 a.m. Tuesday.

The agreement came to fruition after more than a year of talks. Negotiators worked to secure better pay and improved mental health support for about 500 resident doctors unionized with the Committee of Interns and Residents.

The development marks the first contract win for the union.

The tentative deal, according to the union, includes both substantial pay increases and a $1,000 annual stipend for mental health and physician wellness. A $4,000 ratification bonus is also included in the agreement.

Doctors who were ready to join the picket line previously highlighted their struggles with rampant burnouts, extreme exhaustion and financial stress, the union said.

“This contract has been such a long time coming and it’s truly a historic step not only for our well-being, but for the health of the community we serve,” said Dr. Jason Robart, a resident in anesthesiology at GW Hospital, in a statement.

“This contract is the result of 2.5 years of effort, since before we even won our union. Every person who signed a union card or a petition, every chant, every sign we held up outside the hospital, and even our willingness to withhold our labor — that’s what allowed us to win a contract that will truly transform our lives.”

Eleanor Clifford, an OB-GYN resident, added that the hundreds of doctors were willing to strike in order to get “GW to finally acknowledge the support that we need in order to take care of ourselves and our mental health.”

“We were willing to strike because, ultimately, we know that we can’t provide the compassionate patient care that we want to provide on willpower alone,” she said. “We are incredibly hardworking, but we are also human.”
