Of course, there’s more:
Trump’s National Security Adviser Michael Waltz and his team used personal Gmail for government business.
One of Waltz’s top aides even sent highly sensitive military data—positions, weapons systems, and war intel—over Gmail.
But Hillary’s emails are the real scandal.

Russia has detained over 20,000 of its own citizens for their anti-war views over the past three years. It seems they are now getting help from the US with those efforts.
Reasonable to ask if we are now oppressing the Russian opposition at Putin’s behest.

Alt: cartoon of Elon Musk swinging a chainsaw through the pillars supporting a stone sign marked "GOVERNMENT". The whole thing crumbles spectacularly, and human figures are seen amongst the flying shrapnel. Off to the side sits a donkey in a chair, primly holding a sign that says "TSK TSK".

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Big, big love here for Governor Mills.
Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)
Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws
Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.
Gov Mills: See you in court

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank.
I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history.
Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.
