NOTE/ This is just a very early damage assessment regarding Donald Trump’s attack on U.S. national security. As we’re talking about 35 total boxes of contraband—so far—between the June 2022 grand jury subpoena and August 2022 FBI search, the numbers above may well rise over time.

I don’t think people realize you can have empathy for both Anne Heche and the family whose home she destroyed. It doesn’t have to be one or the other. Addiction and mental health are issues that should never be taken lightly.
