President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him.
Whether he gets paid will ultimately be up to DOJ's second-in-command, who was recently his personal lawyer.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

It feels like the foreign policy story of our time is one group after another finding out why the fellows who fought WWII and muddled through the Cold War set up the system they did.
A lot of "I don't like that column there"
"Yeah, but that's load-bearing. They're all load-bearing."

there's something profoundly funny about quincy guys complaining that every non-American state is now spending more on defense after their entire ideology is basically dedicated to rolling back American projection. like, guys, what exactly did you think was happening there

Do you think it's realistic that 331 voters voted for Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and zero voters chose to vote for Kamala Harris in Rockland County NY district 35?
But that's what the election results say.

On the one hand, Trump publicly saying he doesn’t know anything about what is going on besides what he’s being told might be a lie to try and shift the buck but on the other the evidence for “he is not actually mentally competent to run the country” is getting stronger by the day
Easy to be flippant, but Trump going on the record to tell the media he is not in control of his govt and is being misinformed by advisors. Someone else is running the country.
