Another thread worth RTing, given the babblemeltdown going on over at Truth Social. Based known facts, indicting Trump would be entirely consistent with how DOJ has charged mishandling of classified information in the past. See 🧵 for detail.

During the Clinton email investigation, we identified *every* time DoJ had charged someone with mishandling classified. Ever. 4 categories emerged: intentional mishandling, vast quantities, a foreign power, or obstruction. None applied to Clinton. At least 2 apply to Trump.

I heard there is a U.S. Senator damaging our military readiness by delaying 200 critical military promotions. Many people say that sets a dangerous precedent.

If Joe Biden takes Space Command from Alabama and gives it to Colorado, it will set a dangerous precedent and damage our readiness. The facts are clear. @US_SpaceCom belongs in Huntsville.

This is so dangerous. And Cruz knows exactly what he’s doing. This is exactly what Trump did leading up to the 2020 election when he told his followers that if he loses, it will be because it was stolen. Trump was purposely inciting violence then, and Cruz is doing the same now.

Cruz: Mark my words, I believe Garland will indict Donald Trump. He wants to indict Trump because he hates Trump. He’s angry that he wasn’t confirmed to the Supreme Court

Bari Weiss got a half-million dollar donation from Harlan Crow to help create an "anti-woke" nonprofit — the "Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism" But FAIR was completely hobbled by infighting from members and donors who wanted to focus on fighting the transgenders 🫡
Wright and his colleagues felt that FAIR was failing its followers by not weighing in on such conversations—in other words, the anti-orthodoxy organization was struggling over how orthodox to be. “Chapter leaders and other volunteers were desperate to know FAIR’s position on gender ideology, because many were parents with young children concerned about their safety,” Wright wrote. “In my experience attending welcome meetings for new FAIR members, the clear majority were primarily concerned about gender ideology over race-related issues.”

I don’t know a single thing about the migrants who were flown from Florida to California except they are humans and deserve better than being trafficked to make a political point. There’s nothing easy about immigration policy. But everyone affected deserves solutions not chaos.

Rob Bonta says the 16 migrants dropped off at a church had documents showing the state of Florida had coordinated and paid for their flight. He said the Florida governor treated them like political pawns. cbsn.ws/3OWijGt

Fox News is a cult. I'm sure shortly after this clip, she pulled out of a box of snakes, danced with them, chanted in tongues, killed a goat, and laid it on an alter for their holy quad – Father, the son, the holy spirit, and the big Orange Man with a Diet Coke and ketchup… Show more

Governor DeSantis used fraud and deception to lure vulnerable people from San Antonio and dump them in a remote island community that scrambled to care for them. This was human trafficking — and the people who perpetrated this crime must be held responsible.

Steve Bannon called for primarying all 149 House Republicans who voted to raise the debt ceiling: “Those 149 who voted for it …all have to be primaried. Let me repeat that. All of them including people we are quite fond of and some who we used to be fond of.”

Listen to Rep. Raskin demolish and expose Rep. Comer’s irresponsible and silly attempt to generate a Biden investigation story. Rep. Comer is the chair of the House Oversight Committee. A disgrace.
