 BREAKING: Trump discussed sensitive information about US Nuclear submarine capabilities with a Mar-a-Lago member (Pratt) - and Jack Smith has interviewed him at least twice. https://abcnews.go.com/US/after-white-house-trump-allegedly-discussed-potentially-sensitive/story?id=103760456 
 THIS. Will the media get this right? Does the media realize that if they help elect a dictator, they’ll be the first thing to go? I’m glad we have honest journos in legacy media, and I hope the board rooms listen to them.

 Trump will not be elected speaker. He will never be elected to anything ever again.

 Stop calling it "government dysfunction." It's REPUBLICAN dysfunction. Republicans' GOAL is to make you think the government is dysfunctional so they can solve it with a dictator. 
 So this was a door activated alarm. Not a red thing on the wall you pull. That makes more sense.

 NEW: Jack Smith opposes trump’s motion for a 3 month delay in the documents case. His first argument is that trump already has all the info he needs to make his CIPA Section 4 defense arguments. 1/

 To all those who would discount Cassidy Hutchinson because she adored trump at one point:

We can NOT scream at trump supporters to change, and then give them no grace to do so. 

We need to be a safe place for them to land. PERIOD. 
 Democracy is on the ballot. Vote D for democracy. 
 It sickens me that any member of congress would keep this to themselves and endanger the lives of our law enforcement officers.

 This is inaccurate. He has not dropped his bid to move his case to federal court. He dropped his application for an emergency stay because he is no longer in danger of going to trial in October. The expedited appeal is no longer necessary, but the appeal continues.

 Republicans make false accusations, then raise money in a desperate attempt to FIND/FABRICATE evidence to support their claims. Benghazi, Hillary's emails, Durham, Hunter Biden, Zelensky, the 2020 election, & the impeachment of Biden.

They have no evidence, & they never will. 
 BREAKING: Hunter Biden alleges in a lawsuit that former trump aide Garrett Ziegler accessed and then manipulated data from Hunter Biden’s iPhone which he claimed were on a laptop obtained from associates of Bannon and Giuliani. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cacd.898532/gov.uscourts.cacd.898532.1.0.pdf 
 Isaacson Thursday: Elon Musk shut off Starlink

Elon Thursday: No, it was always off.

Isaacson Friday: Yeah. It was always off.

Isaacson today: Elon saved Ukraine early on. I said he cut it off, but it was already off.

Andrea Mitchell: Next up: Is Biden too old? 
 Will @b7d306d2 ask @7b9c508a about his contradictory statements about Elon Musk? 
 Cannon my not do anything overtly appealable, but she’ll nickel and dime on delays.
