there were TWO disclosures of classified materials
Trump failed to turn over 140 documents with classified markings upon the first time he did turn documents over
Trump, for a period of time, stacked boxes from his time at the White House on a ballroom stage at Mar-a-Lago
oh man. the boxes literally fell over and spilled out sensitive content
hiding the moving of boxes of sensitive materials from his own lawyers
Trump had documents concerning U.S. nuclear capabilities and the nuclear capabilities of a foreign country
probably the most enduring part of the indictment is Trump, showing sensitive military plans to an official with his super PAC and urging that person to "not get too close” because the docs, he knew, are sensitive.
Look, but only from afar.

Twitter seemed pretty helacious today. more so than usual.
Seems increasingly like this is a place to post journalism and to absolutely rip on journalism and there is just very little in between. It used to be a bit more fun here.
like, for fuck sake, give me a fucking dress whose colors seem different to other people.
If you read one piece today, make it @natashakorecki’s dispatch from the Lake of the Ozarks, where vaccines are shunned, masks are mocked, and the long-term consequences take a back seat to the good time at hand.
@natashakorecki there is so much in here, it’s hard to know what to choose. The artwork alone is worth the click
@natashakorecki "Two bartenders floated in and out of the conversation, dropping comments like “what’s Covid?” to laughter. Just recently, a beloved cook at the restaurant had died from the virus."
Finding it tough to contain my excitement over the prospect of having a three day memorial weekend with two small kids and rain every day.
The 1.5 yr old has already climbed up every chair, laughed at me as I frantically run over to make sure he doesn't kill himself. And then crawled back off. So I guess that activity is down with for now. Only 2.9 more days to go!
The older one is currently working his way through the ENTIRE catalogue on Alexa's fart sound program. Literally, 20 minutes straight of fart sounds and counting. Only 2.85 days to go!
As I watch Marjorie Taylor Greene equate Covid vaccination efforts to the Holocaust, I can’t escape the memory of going to Yad Vashem and seeing the exhibit of shoes, preserved from Holocaust victims. (a thread, if you’ll oblige me)
Like so much of the museum, it grips you to a point of near paralysis. The sheer quantity of those shoes—piles and piles— is haunting. Human beings wore them at some point in time.
But, of course, they were not seen as humans by the Nazis. They were sub-human. And so, the shoes eventually became all that was left to preserve.
