We begin today’s roundup with Ryan Bort’s analysis at Rolling Stone of Donald Trump apparent violation of the Presidential Records Act:

The Washington Post reported on Monday that the Archives was forced to seize “multiple boxes” of White House records Trump stole off to Palm Beach with instead of turning them over to the Archives, a apparent violation of the Presidential Records Act.

Speaking of elections, Sheryl Gay Stolberg analyzes how Republicans intend of further demonizing science and Dr. Anthony Fauci in the midterm election:

Some who voted to impeach him are being drummed out of the party.
