It's wrong to call this "the Justice Department." He wants $230 million from the US taxpayer. Federal dollars. DOJ isn't some private company or NGO.
Breaking News: President Trump wants $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him, people familiar with the matter say. Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit. nyti.ms/4hmIi5X

Have a National Day for everything under the Sun started as an attempt by white people to disrespect Martin Luther King Day. I reject National Donut Day on these merits 😑

Ask Ethan: Is the Hubble tension the same thing as dark energy?
Observations with the Hubble space telescope helped cement dark energy and reveal the Hubble tension. How are these two things so different?

Did anybody else catch the most cringe interview of the decade at #CJI2 last night?
I have no idea what Renato Laranja was trying to do last night with his interview, but Tom DeBlass deserved better than that nonsense 😟

I’ve always believed mono-black should be able to do whatever it wants, as long as it pays in blood, so I made this #Mtg card and I solemnly swear that if #WOTC were to be so generous as to print it, I’d be shelling packs like Fallen Empires just dropped and I just got done mowing 20 lawns.

Democrats need to start injecting uncertainty into foreign policy as a means of disrupting or derailing Trump administration efforts. Promise publicly that once they retake power, the next Democratic administration will militarily assist Ukraine in seizing from Russia whatever Trump gives away.

One of the reasons I like the #WNBA is because it resembles the game of basketball as it is most often played. It’s the highest quality below-the-rim basketball out there. 🏀

Something that I have been thinking about with attribution of "PhD level intelligence" or "PhD level expertise" to a machine is that it reflects an increasing trend among these AI bros and their sycophants to want the products of highly skilled training without actually doing any of the work.
