Good read!
A lot of great info, but "If you choose to answer questions, be sure to tell the truth” is a mistake. Remember, anything you say "can and will be used against you." Key word, against. Nothing you tell them will be used to help you. Remain silent.
Also don't forget to actually verbally invoke your rights, being silent doesn't invoke it in the US
Something like: "I hereby invoke the 5th amendment right to silence, and I want to talk to a lawyer"
Practice memorizing numbers so your experience goes smoother.

Make sure you speak clearly with minimal slang, or they might willfully misinterpret what you're saying to deny your rights. Like to think you want a lawyer dog.
