The DOJ getting frustrated with the Trump team over returning classified documents has asked a federal judge to hold them in contempt. I would think charging obstruction might be a better use of their time.

When objects are overlapping, it’s handy to use Tab to select shapes. Pressing repeatedly cycles through selecting objects. This works in Google Slides, Google Drawings, PowerPoint, and Keynote.

And to drive home that point, the Founders included the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment -- to ensure that no religion could be legally mandated, federally or in any state.

"Religious liberty" doesn't mean you get to impose your religion on everyone else. Quite the opposite.

👤 I showed 5th graders how to trace a photo to make a silhouette with the Curve tool in #GoogleSlides. It’s often easier and less frustrating to draw overlapping chunks.

Part of the dynamic with the Trump Team contempt motion is that the lawyers are afraid to sign certifications of compliance, given that their client can't be trusted.From the standpoint of the law, someone has to attest to compliance and of course subpoena recipient has to comply

Perhaps the most-terrifying space photograph to date. Astronaut Bruce McCandless II floats completely untethered, away from the safety of the space shuttle, with nothing but his Manned Maneuvering Unit keeping him alive. The first person in history to do so. Credit: NASA

The reports are that Howell hasn't considered the motion yet or held a hearing. Presumably, lawyers like Corcoran and Bobb, the ones involved in the certification of compliance, will point the fingers at others and ultimately Trump in seeking to excuse their noncompliance.

The House just passed an atrocious $858 BILLION in annual defense spending.

That's $45B more than Biden even asked for.

Health care?
"We can't afford it."

Child tax credit?
"Too expensive."

Defense spending?
"Here I just found an extra $45 billion dollars laying around."

Actual patriots. 🇺🇸

Neal Katyal and Michael Luttig, on opposite ends of the political spectrum, argued against the dismantling of democracy before the Court — together. As Americans.

$12 billion: The cost of expanding the Child Tax Credit to 19 million children who had not been able to receive the full benefits

$858 billion: The cost of the latest defense bill

Can you guess which one Congress claims it can't afford to fund?

Justice Department asks judge to hold Trump team in contempt over Mar-a-Lago case https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/12/08/trump-contempt-mar-a-lago-records/

And the independent search he did, and only at direction of Court, a) showed more docs outstanding; b) showed cavalier mishandling of same; & c) failed manifestly to demonstrate full compliance. This is a "cut-the-crap, Mr Trump," move to which the court likely will be responsive
