Donald must have known this would drop so he filed his frivolous lawsuit against DOJ today. 300 documents marked classified, some taken back in January, some in the most recent search. 300 classified documents. Thief. #LockHimUpnytimes.com/2022/08/22/us/…
Here’s a fun fact: “Mr. Trump went through the boxes himself in late 2021, according to multiple people briefed on his efforts, before turning them over.” That was the first batch in January.
And this nugget “The Justice Department investigation is continuing, suggesting that officials are not certain whether they have recovered all the presidential records that Mr. Trump took with him from the White House.”
How about this pull quote? “It remains to be seen whether anyone will face criminal charges stemming from the investigation.”

.@maddow has an interview with Dr. Fauci on the night after the day when he announced his resignation effective in December when he will be 82. He is looking forward to his next chapter. Still hear Brooklyn in his voice and it cheers me.
Dr. Fauci says he is looking forward to writing, lecturing, and being an inspiration for people to get into public service. He thought he would be ready to leave government after the Trump administration, but #COVID kept him in. He wants to leave while he still has his health.
“I want to do some things outside the realm of the federal government” is the chyron.
This is an example of institutionalized racism that you might not have encountered. Racism and the quality of neonatal intensive care. In this study, Black mothers of premature babies describe their experiences. They also offer solutions. publications.aap.org/pediatrics/art…
Black preterm infants are more likely to die than White preterm infants within the same NICU. Racism may lead to disparate quality of NICU care contributing to disparities in preterm infant health outcomes as this study cites.
Including the voices of Black mothers is key to combatting racism that affects them and their babies.
🧵So I was waiting with 6 other folks in front of me at a local drug store to pick up a prescription. Suddenly, an elderly fellow cuts the line, goes to the pharmacist, gets his prescriptions. I asked “Did he just cut the line?” A woman in front of me said “Yes, be my guest.”
I asked the man who he cut off, “Did this guy just cut you off?” He said “Yes, if I say anything I will punch him in the mouth.” I also did not say a word, because I could feel my anger tipping over. All I did say “This is how people get away with it. We don’t speak up.”
It is increasing hard to be in a civil society when our rage is constantly below the surface, so much so that we fear pointing out when someone’s behavior is offensive. It was a very telling slice of life moment for me. How much we carry. How much it holds us back.
Because no one stopped him. For four years, he pushed the goal posts every day with no repercussions, so he kept going, all the way to STEALING TOP SECRET NUCLEAR DOCUMENTS. bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-…
Items removed from Mar-a-Lago included files marked as top secret and meant to be viewed only in secure government facilities, according to a copy of the warrant- or you know, meant to be viewed by foreign spies in the basement of Trump’s club.
A search warrant viewed by POLITICO reveals that the FBI is investigating Donald Trump for a potential violation of the Espionage Act and removed classified documents from Mar a Lago Monday.
A ton of news every day, but please don’t miss this: the CDC has decided that everything is normal for back to school. Sad to say there will be another crazy surge of #COVID in the fall.
The CDC feels pressured to meet people where they are? Holy moly this is MISGUIDED. cnn.com/2022/08/11/hea…
Seems like the CDC had crunched the numbers and is okay with a certain number, like 500 a day, dying from #COVID (which is right now) and COUNTLESS long haulers. #LongCovid is a disability our country is not equipped to deal with. At all.
