New Biden admin protections for LGBTQ Americans:
-Anti-book ban coordinator to “train” & advise schools that bans may violate fed civil rights
-DHS trainings for LGBTQ centers to respond to shootings, bomb threats
-HHS guidance on affirming mental health care for trans youth

No, Trump didn’t follow the Presidential Records Act. No, Obama and the Bushes didn’t take millions of papers. No, the feds couldn’t have just asked nicely. No, 1,850 Biden boxes haven’t vanished.

I've given up trying to explain to the left why burning the world down to obtain justice is a bad idea. I'll just say if Biden loses in 2024, he, Hunter, and many others better have lawyers asap. The Rubicon has been crossed. Guilt won't matter. The pain of litigation will.

The things that Large Language Models can do best—quickly producing reams of fluent but inaccurate or mendacious text, superficially convincing but easily destroyed by scrutiny—are ironically best fitted for replacing higher-level managers and politicians.

If you’re running against someone and you feel like you have to rush to their defense each time they’re indicted probably best to pack it in. Free advice.

Haley running into same problem as R's opposed to Trump who tried to humor election denial. You can't can't affirm the premise an illegitimate DOJ is staging a self-coup AND call it "drama and distraction" voting for you will end. If you really believed it, it would be THE issue. https://t.co/D2tlbVhtzu

While Trump didn’t speak to us for Peril, he spoke to a lot of others at the same time in 2021 as he was lashing out at Milley in private. These dynamics began to collide as Trump sat down with people, with him pulling out documents and memos from the WH to make his points…

The horrible precedent isn't that Trump was indicted. The horrible precedent is that we had a president who repeatedly broke the law.

Trump isn’t playing by democracy’s rules he uses them. Rule of law — I am above the law or I destroy faith in the law. Elections — I am elected or I destroy faith in them. That zero sum won’t change. His supporters are radicalized. The appeasers know he controls the GOP

Holy moly. The indictment lays out a pretty open-and-shut case. And it involves VERY highly classified intel—some of the code names/restrictions so highly classified they’re redacted in the indictment itself. This isn’t small potatoes.

4. Poof.

Any hope Trump might have had to claim “advice of counsel” defense will not work.

We now take it as a given that every elected GOP will respond w the full Deep State/weaponization song & dance. What’s important to remember is that every last one knows they’re lying. And every one knows DJT has millions of potentially/already violent backers. Speaks for itself.

important to remember: if you make your lawyer an unwitting participant in a federal crime you may have a problem on your hands if your lawyer is not a criminal and wants to remain a lawyer https://t.co/7zZFJdxtyZ

First read of indictment and my reaction is “That’s it? The conspiracy is with the aide who moved the boxes? No documents were sold or given to third parties not in his close employ?” https://t.co/47bvO7H4yT
