"Some members sheltered in the Rotunda, where they were instructed to put on gas masks from under their seats, while others sprinted to offices where they hid in silence with frightened staff."

"A circuit of Fox News hosts pressed Meadows to intercede — a memorialization of the direct pipeline between the right wing cable news channel and the Trump White House."

from Sean Hannity:

"I did not have a good call with him [Trump] today. And worse, I’m not sure what is left to do or say, and I don’t like not knowing if it’s truly understood."

"That evidence includes a letter that may turn out to be, as a practical matter, the biggest blow Trump has ever suffered, even bigger than his six corporate bankruptcies and two presidential impeachments."

"Mazars [Trump's accounting firm] said that 10 years of Trump’s financial statements, from 2011 to 2020, “should no longer be relied upon,”...

... And then they quit."

"[Trump] may find it all but impossible to find new auditors and tax preparers...

“good luck refinancing your debt when the accountants” — who have just declared a decade of your financials utterly worthless — have “just walked out the door.”"

"The journey underscores how defiantly and indiscriminately Trump violated the Presidential Records Act"

#TrumpPapers
washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
The National Archives contacted Trump about some high profile missing documents last summer.

"But it was not until the end of the year that the boxes were finally readied for collection"

(What happened in that time? Were some documents destroyed?)
washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
"At one point, Archives officials threatened that if Trump’s team did not voluntarily produce the materials, they would send a letter to Congress or the Justice Department revealing the lack of cooperation"

I've been stressing about the possibility of losing power since I have week-old chicks (7 of them) under a heat lamp.

No power, no heat lamp, dead chicks. 😰

So I did an online search for ways to keep chicks alive without a heat lamp and found a couple of suggestions.
The most useful was to build an insulated "hut" for them to huddle under.

So, using some cardboard and an insulated shipping bag, I gave it my best shot.

It has air holes & and a flap so the chicks can get out if they really want to.
Another suggestion was a sort of hot water bottle.

The water in a hot water tank (assuming it's not tankless) will remain hot for a while. So, when the power goes out, immediately fill some plastic containers with hot water and put them in the brooder box with the chicks.

"Trump was known inside the White House for his unusual and potentially unlawful habit of tearing presidential records into shreds and tossing them on the floor... despite the Presidential Records Act"

washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/01…
"The National Archives on Monday took the unusual step of confirming the habit, saying in a statement that records turned over from the Trump White House “included paper records that had been torn up by former President Trump.”"

washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/01…
"the former president’s infrangible shredding practices apparently continued well into the latter stages of his presidency."

Why would someone develop the habit of shredding their paperwork and continue to do so after being asked to stop?

"The two-pronged fight captures how aggressively Republicans are moving to entrench their current advantages...

Voting laws are intended to reconfigure the composition of today’s electorate; the teaching bans aim to shape the attitudes of tomorrow’s."

The Krause List being used to ban books across the USA was created by Texas Republican State Rep Matt Krause.

The @BookRiot associate editor went through the 850 books on the list and "found some interesting and unsettling things."

#BANNED
#BannedBooks

"Perhaps the most disturbing trend I saw in this list is the challenging of books that teach students their rights.

Of all the things to teach in school or for kids to have access to, this is one of the most important."

"Not only is every book on human sexuality disallowed, from The Baby Tree to teen books about STIs, but also anything that mentions teen pregnancy, including YA novels. About 5% of the books banned have to do with pregnancy."
