Dropping this here as speculation and hopefully for those with better internet resaech skills than myself to follow.

This morning on my to work, as I normally do I was listening to the news, and the ongoing reporting of the search of Mar-a-lago came up. In considering what documents Trump would want to squirl away, what documents he would consider "My top secret documents", a little Christmas tree lightbulb popped on in the back of my head. Wasn't there a Trump scandal, buried in all the many Trump scandals, where he was purposefully mis-classifying documents that could be damaging to him personally?

I'm now at work now, so my ability to research is very limited. A general google search is full of the current story, a search of Emptywheel found this THE INTELLIGENCE ISSUES THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE LARGELY IGNORED from 2019.

I don't think even Trump is dumb enough to try to outright sell state secrets, and if he had been caught with intelligence worth selling, the smart thing to do would have been to would have been to feign ignorance and give them back. But information damage to Trump... that I imagine he would fight tooth and nail to keep locked away.

I don't know that we ever found out what Trump was mis-classifying, but at least part of it seems to include his interactions with Russia and Ukraine.

Short and sweet. This poll popped up on my YouTube, it's being hosted by the official Trump/Pence web site. Please troll, I did.

action.donaldjtrump.com/…

After the survey it asks for a donation, in addition to preset amounts, I was tempted to try a negative amount, but I don't trust Trump with my account info.

I'm here to resist. How can I help?

It’s been a while, I’ve been gone for too long. I was active when Bush was waging illegal war, but why the need to stop by when Obama is president and life is busy? Fast forward to today, Trump is making Bush look like a soft pitch warm-up, and with a family now I have more skin in the game than ever. At the same time I have so much less time and resources to offer, so I’m here to ask ‘How can I help resist?’

I have a wife and two kids, I work two jobs. My wife and I are planning to make a family appearance at a local protest coming up, but that will mean taking time off of work for me, so it won’t be a regular thing. So far I’ve decided to do the following. I’ve devoted my 45 minute evening commute to calling my representatives. I’ve just finished writing the first round of what I plan to be weekly letters to be sent by mail. I’ve signed all the petitions on the Action list. Other than that I’m at a loss. Any other suggestions of things that I can do at a low cost, on little free time? It’s better to do something, no matter how small, than to sit feeling helpless. I’m hoping there might be some others in the same boat that might be looking for some little things they can do.

Please help me out. I'm at work so I don't have time to do much research, but I'm listening to the podcast of last night's Randi Rhodes Show (on Nova M) She had Jonathan Alter on to talk about FISA. Johnathan's take on the current FISA bill was that it is re-instating the 4th Amendment. That while the Congress was on break last August, the administration issued a warning that a terrorist attack was imminent and emergency legislation was needed to allow them to spy domestically without ANY restrictions, including the meager ones in place from FISA & the Patriot Act.

In my first Fitness Monday Diary I asked YOU to choose. YOU the reader chose the topic of this, my second Fitness Monday diary. And after three long weeks of mildly grueling research, at a staggering cost of $5.97; I bring you in this new hi-def Daily Kos diary on nutrition.

(I really need to stop reading Cheers & Jeers while watching BBC’s Planet Earth series, and yes I did spend $5 on a nutrition book I found at a tag sale. The .97 is for the Twinkie brand, non-nutritional-food-like-substance I purchased and consumed immediately afterward.)

Come with me over the flip, where I impart my limited nutritional knowledge.

Ok, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's New Year's resolution is to get in shape. (What's wrong with round? Round is a shape.)

I have little in the way of fitness credentials. I'm not a personal trainer or dietitian, etc. In fact my job involves the health of plants much more than the health of people, and if I were in top shape I probably wouldn't be looking for support here. However, I've played sports for as long as I can remember, I coach a high school rugby team, I've been in and out of shape several times, and I know what works for me; maybe it'll help you out too. If I'm wrong I hope someone will correct me, that's part of why I'm here too; to learn.

Fitness on Kos? I know it's a political blog, but one of the things I love about it is that its a community of people from all walks of life, with all different backgrounds, and expertises. We've come together to improve our political system, our minds, & the world around us; why not join me after the flip and improve our bodies too.

I was just checking my email before going to bed when I read a mass email from my Senator, Bill Nelson (D-FL).

Dear Friends,

I spent most of August on a statewide tour of Florida so I could hear directly from residents and local officials about the issues that concern them most....

What infuriated me, and my response below the fold.
