“It's against the law for the president to in effect sue himself—and then settle for a huge sum. The court has the power to put a stop to these shenanigans and should do so. We are proud to represent over 90 members of Congress in making that request,” said Matt Platkin, @PlatkinLLP, and @NormEisen, Democracy Defenders Action, co-counsel for amici.

US Attorney Pirro@USAttyPirro
This week, I discovered a massive unmarked storage room with boxes full of forgotten equipment. Just because we’re in D.C. doesn’t mean the government can waste your money. I’m going to make sure some of it is returned to the taxpayers.

He gets a ballroom. An Arch. A new reflecting pool. 10 billion directly into his pocket from taxpayers. Billions from special interests seeking favors and pardons.
What has America gotten? Tariffs, a new war, higher gas prices, inflation.
Truly a golden age.

Breaking News: The Justice Department is said to be considering settling a lawsuit President Trump filed against the IRS over the release of his tax returns. nyti.ms/4wl9069

Unprecedented to see both parties in a lawsuit rush to settle because a judge *might* think they’re actually secretly on the same side.
Historic corruption happening right before our eyes.

Absolutely tragic and way too young. An example on and off the court, and one of the finest human beings to ever wear the Cardinal uniform.
May he rest in peace.

Watched Game 2 with my Dad. Drove to Philly to watch Game 4 with my (now diehard) wife and two kids on Mother’s Day (at her request!). Regardless of what happens from here, cherish these moments @nyknicks fans. It doesn’t get better than this.

Iowa Starting Line@IAStartingLine
An Iowa lobbyist was caught offering $100 cash payments—plus referral bonuses—to pack JD Vance’s Des Moines rally this week. The lobbyist works for an ethanol policy group whose top priority, E15 fuel, Vance championed from the stage. iowastartingline.com/news/politics/…

(½) Today the Supreme Court of Virginia has chosen to put politics over the rule of law by issuing a ruling that overturns the April 21st special election on redistricting.

If only there was a federal agency designed to stop this exact type of scam

.@DemocraticAGs have led the fight for our democracy literally since before day one of the Trump Administration.
Grateful for my friends in AG offices across the country as they stand strong in defense of the rule of law.

This AI guy uploaded every single private text message between him and his wife and thought so little of it that he broadcast that fact to the world.
If this is how AI execs treat their own data, please tell me again why we should trust how AI companies handle yours.

I got married this past weekend so I did what any rational @AnthropicAI employee would do and had Claude Code analyze 12 years of iMessages with my wife, then Claude Design used that data to whip up a website for our guests in just minutes.
