After beginning the 118th Congress with chaos, the GOP is getting every bit of mileage from random association and the “newfound” Biden documents’ false equivalence is how the next two years of disinformation cascades will go. “Biden didn’t know he had these documents and returned them when they were found. If Trump did the same, he wouldn’t be in hot water.”
x You know the MAGA idiots and Fox News talking heads will try to say Trump and Biden did the same thing. They didn't.
Biden volunteered the documents when his attorney found them. There were a handful, not the 325 Trump stole.
Trump lied to keep docs.

x The U.S. Attorney investigating Biden is a former colleague of mine. He is smart, fair, and has good judgment.
I don’t expect charges here. Biden didn’t know he had these documents and returned them when they were found.
If Trump did the same, he wouldn’t be in hot water.

x The Trump people will try. But in all likelihood, unless there's a lot more to this—orders of magnitude more—they will only succeed in highlighting how egregious the misconduct at Mar-a-Lago was, and how Trump would not be in the trouble he's in had he not obstructed and lied.

x “The Biden case and his response may show more reason to prosecute Trump.” Biden didn’t violate the Espionage Act. Trump did. ~ @neal_katyal on @Lawrence — Susan 🇺🇦🌻☮️ (@SusanInDelaware) January 10, 2023
x Of course, when your majority is fragile enough that a few overdue indictments could kill it, you do what you can. — Schooley (@Rschooley) January 9, 2023

x MAGA / anti-vaxxer "Diamond," of Diamond and Silk, has died...of Covid.
Please people, protect yourselves and get vaccinated.
Covid is still killing 2,000 Americans a week. Because people ignore it, does not mean it has gone away.

x I'm seeing claims that Diamond of Diamond and Silk—a Covid-19 vaccine hater—died of Covid and was hospitalized for it in Nov. But truth is her cause of death isn't clear yet, and the Nov. claims that she had Covid came from a Blavity article that appears to have been deleted. — Will Sommer (@willsommer) January 10, 2023
x A leading QAnon promoter who urged both her followers and strangers she passed on the street not to take the COVID vaccine died Thursday of the coronavirus, making her just the latest vaccine opponent killed by the disease.
