Prediction: 6 months after the Trump presidency, all monuments to Trump--and all the tacky aesthetics in the White House--will be gone.

[Scott Barber @thescottbarber]

Words literally cannot express how utterly insane and tasteless this aesthetic really is.

Long overdue.

This is what the DOJ has come to--indicting people over seashells.

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

Did the DOJ actually indict Comey again over a picture of seashells at the beach? Yes. Yes they did.

NEW and BREAKING: The FBI began investigating New York Times reporter Elizabeth Williamson earlier this year after she published a story about how Kash Patel was using FBI personnel to provide his girlfriend with govt security and transportation.

[Sarah Fitzpatrick @S_Fitzpatrick]

EXCLUSIVE: Kash Patel’s colleagues are alarmed by what they say is erratic behavior and excessive drinking. I spoke with more than 2 dozen people with knowledge of his conduct, some of whom described it as a national security vulnerability. @TheAtlantic https://t.co/fLCGyGjVwl

[Sarah Fitzpatrick @S_Fitzpatrick]

EXCLUSIVE @TheAtlantic On multiple occasions Patel’s security detail had difficulty waking him because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to info supplied to DOJ and White House officials. A request for “breaching equipment”was made because Patel had been unreachable behind locked doors. https://t.co/Ater7LRQ2H
