If you haven’t heard, gotten some kind of notification on your devices, or were stuck inside of a Mar-a-Lago safe for the past couple of hours, the Federal Bureau of Investigation—also known as the FBI—served a search warrant at disgraced twice impeached president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago in Florida on Monday.

Donald Trump went to his failed social media platform Truth Social to post a clearly long-ago written screed blaming the deep state, whining that the agents “even broke my safe!” Thoughts and prayers and such.

Because here’s a reminder of what Trump represents, what the Republican Party represents, and what our country is fighting against.
My current feelings:
And this one because it’s perfectly poetic.
UPDATE: Turns out, according to Trump’s daughter-in-law, the FBI was likely serving a warrant to get old clipping of USA Today.
Trump and his followers proved on Jan. 6 how dangerously close they came to overturning our democracy.
