I thought it was great as he compared the “duel loyalty” question of JFK (and being Catholic) to his being Muslim. He also pointed out the separation of church and state in the Constitution.

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

Continuing to attempt and justify previous/ongoing violations of the Presidential Records Act. Fuck this administration and its addiction to lying, grifting and criminality.
