Over the next few days, I'll tweet excerpts from the 2nd indictment (politi.co/3J7rsrY)

People who have read the main points are less likely to fall for GOP disinformation.

Introduction, # 3 - an overview of the types of info in the boxes. Image
Introduction, # 4 & 5: Trump left office, and took classified documents to Mar a Lago without authorization.

He kept the documents there in various rooms despite it not being an authorized location for classified documents. Image
Introduction, # 6 - on 2 occasions in 2021, Trump showed classified information to others.

The first occasion was recorded, and Trump can be heard saying he can't declassify information now that he's no longer president. ImageImage

There are different ways to reduce the national debt:

Republican plan: slash everything other than defense by 22% - Social Security, veterans' benefits, Medicaid, etc.

The couple’s son Jourdan Nicaud, a well-known Gulf Coast restaurateur, is also a major campaign donor. According to a recent finance report, Jourdan wrote Reeves a $25,000 check about 2 weeks after his father was confirmed to the Gaming Commission by the MS Senate.

The mayor of El Paso said Friday that "we have not seen any big numbers" as compared to last week.

Migrants seeking asylum say a "whisper network" warned of possible punishments under Title 8, the law that was in place before Title 42 and is now being enforced again in its… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Under Title 8, people who repeatedly attempt to enter the U.S. illegally face penalties, including a potential five-year ban and criminal prosecution.

Title 42 had suspended those penalties, which led to an increase in the number of people who repeatedly crossed the border… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
"At the end of Title 42, that would be eliminated, and so that was the fear, not being able to come and turn yourself in," she said.

𝟭𝟲% of Black MS residents of voting age can't vote due to these laws.

This was part of a larger plan to stop freed slaves (who outnumbered white men of voting age) from voting after the passage of the 15th amendment.

The process of getting the right to vote back is so… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The law is so complex, and there's so much confusion around it that many people who haven't committed any of the qualifying crimes believe they can't vote, and have started the process to get their right to vote back.
