Amazon will shutter two delivery stations near Baltimore that employ about 300 people. The company experienced a record number of orders during the pandemic, which has slowed as consumers returned to in-person shopping. It has also had to contend with an unprecedented labor rights movement. Amazon’s workforce decreased by about 100,000 jobs to 1.52 million in the second quarter, “the biggest quarter-to-quarter contraction in the company’s history,” says Bloomberg.

Some of the ‘Classified’ Folders Found at Mar-a-Lago Were Empty … For Some Reason: A newly unsealed inventory details that several dozen important folders were found empty when the FBI searched Donald Trump’s home on Aug. 8 https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://people.com/politics/empty-folders-with-classified-labels-found-during-mar-a-lago-search/__;!!On18fmf1aQ!x1j1eZ5lV0OYNuYysF_6OJcX2qhhZEEYoZ2zp5vmeDZjKhxQD-uV9ZsMK8dsrb0RkogA0r8kX_9rC3aHRD9d8izLujyHkrWB$
Top secret documents in Trump’s office were stored just steps away from Mar-a-Lago’s ‘completely open’ catering hall, says Michael Cohen: “So it’s not just guests, it’s not just members; it’s anybody that’s there, hypothetically, for a wedding or a christening, a bar mitzvah — any event that they have. And all that separated these individuals from top-secret, classified documents were 10 stairs and one little Master Lock key.”

Trump May Have Sold Classified Documents, Should Be ‘Arrested’: “The most reasonable inference is that Donald Trump disposed of those classified documents after unlawfully taking them from the White House,” Kirschner said in a video posted on YouTube. “To what purpose did he put them? Did he sell them to America’s adversaries? Did he use them to blackmail people? Did he use them to leverage a favorable business deal in some country or another? We don’t know yet.” Kirschner said https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.newsweek.com/trump-may-have-sold-classified-documents-should-arrested-kirschner-1739646__;!!On18fmf1aQ!x1j1eZ5lV0OYNuYysF_6OJcX2qhhZEEYoZ2zp5vmeDZjKhxQD-uV9ZsMK8dsrb0RkogA0r8kX_9rC3aHRD9d8izLutNUou2n$
‘Cornered’ Trump is turning ‘to violence’ as his biggest supporters desert him: Mary Trump: “The window of opportunity for Donald to squirm out of this is closing because of the seriousness of the potential charges that are coming his way,” she explained. “And what have we seen in the past? He goes to violence. When he said that President Biden was calling for political violence, he was, as usual, projecting. That was what Donald’s going to be calling for as he gets more and more cornered.”

Solar Storm Will Hit Earth On Labor Day. Thankfully, the storm is classified as weak: High-speed solar winds from a “hole” in the sun’s atmosphere are set to hit Earth’s magnetic field on Wednesday (Aug 3.), triggering a minor G-1 geomagnetic storm. Forecasters at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) made the prediction after observing that “gaseous material is flowing from a southern hole in the sun’s atmosphere,” according to spaceweather.com.
