The raid on Mar-a-Lago was based largely on information from an FBI confidential human source, one who was able to identify what classified documents former President Trump was still hiding and even the location of those documents."

OHMYGOD…

A team of FBI agents raided former President Donald Trump's oceanside Florida estate of Mar-a-Lago on Monday.

Trump himself confirmed the news in a statement on his social media network, Truth Social.

"These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents," his account posted. "After working and cooperating with the relevant government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate."

"They even broke into my safe!" he added.

An FBI spokesman from the bureau's Miami field office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. And no publicly available federal search warrants filed in South Florida recently shed light on why agents were there.

However, Trump has been the target of an ongoing Justice Department investigation that is probing how he illegally made off with dozens of classified and sensitive records when he left the White House in 2021. Prosecutors have been reviewing whether his conduct violated the Presidential Records Act.

In his statement, Trump—without a hint of irony—referenced the last time a president engaged in criminal behavior that took him down: Richard Nixon.

"What is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the Democrat national committee?" he asked on Truth Social.

Explosive Diarrhea Guy

From Wil Wheaton:

Somewhere in the world, a person exists who probably does not know that, in George's version of the story, he exists only as "explosive diarrhea guy."

He has a rich life, a backstory that could fill volumes. Yet, in George's reality, he will forever be "explosive diarrhea guy." And there are at least 15,000 people in the world right now (a number about to grow, because I think half a million people follow me on Tumblr) who also will only know him as "explosive diarrhea guy."

This is objectively hilarious to me, but it also illustrates a larger point I'm always trying to make: who you are in someone else's story is not always under your control, and is frequently not even about you as a person.

But big love to explosive diarrhea guy, whoever and wherever he is. We've all been there, and it's never great, but in a public restroom it's even worse.
