Bullshit. Canceling all student debt would improve the lives of 45 million Americans. Wanna pay for it? Tax the damn Wall Street speculators who made you obscenely rich, Larry, the same guys you helped bail out. And by doing that we could also make public colleges tuition free.

It's pretty simple:
1. Donald Trump had no business taking the top secret materials he did.
2. DOJ+National Archives, like every other institution that has confronted Trump for 50+ years, waited too long and granted Trump special accomodations which only compounded the crisis.

Have you noticed America always just magically finds money whenever it needs to fund wars or justify military costs, but we don't have money for people? We must bail out corrupt Wall St banks that caused a recession but can't help 45 million Americans with student loan debt.

BREAKING: Trump is representing HIMSELF, with no lawyer at all, in his case against the United States regarding the search of Mar-a-Lago and recovery of government records.
The legal term is “pro se” - for himself.
He could not find anyone to represent him.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Per fact checking, Trump's team made an error in the initial filling. It has since been updated to include his legal representation. The story that he was appears to have arisen from Twitter per Newsweek reporting.

500 signatures down. 1500 to go. People often ask what they can do besides voting to demand change? This is one small but meaningful act. 825K DACA status neighbors need us to raise our voices. Let’s go.

“I know it’s not partisan to stand up for decency and democracy and dialogue. It’s not partisan to stand up to demagogues. It’s required. It’s patriotic. We must make sure we don’t give platforms to those who are lying to our faces.” -- @brianstelter @CNN poynter.org/commentary/2022/…

Nothing to see here. The climate is fine. The climate change-denying Republicans in charge of Texas are totally the right people to be in charge. Move along, move along…
