So this imbecile is admitting that the documents were classified, but existed at Mar-a-Lago *before* Jack Smith's involvement? Apparently, stupidity is genetic.

This is what the problem is with a CULT. The CULT leader says do not believe your eyes, your heart, and don’t even think about it . I’ll take care of you. Only believe what I tell you. That is MAGA and the GOP.

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

Unconstitutional, damaging to our democracy and--last time I checked--murder is a crime. Let's not gussy it up and call it acts of war. This is murder.

This is the FIFTH time Trump has carried out an illegal bombing in the Caribbean.

Using the military to execute alleged criminals with no due process or input from Congress is brazenly unconstitutional and damaging to our democracy.
