In 2016, the Justice Department brought charges against 130,000 suspects. Grand juries rejected indictments only six times.

During the Trump administration, by contrast, grand jurors have repeatedly rejected prosecutors’ requests for indictments.

Trump administration prosecutions focus new attention on grand juries

The administration has struggled with an unusual level of rejections in some cases and procedural stumbles in others.

I would fork over pay-per-view money to see this same scene play out between Trump and Catherine Lucey (reporter Trump called "piggy").

I teased this last night in What I’m Hearing but now confirmed: Paramount WILL release Rush Hour 4 after prodding from Trump on behalf of Brett Ratner. Distribution deal. Producer Tarak Ben Ammar is lining up financing. Get ready for the dumbest possible state-controlled media.

"[participants] were randomly assigned to do so by using either an LLM like ChatGPT or the “old-fashioned way,” by navigating links using a standard Google search."

Lol on "old-fashioned way" being Google searches.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Positive result, but herein lies the weakness of American democracy. The only remedy/guardrail for a rogue administration takes weeks if not months (and sometimes years)-- long after much damage has been done.

"it is LITERALLY possible nobody had ever thought of this as a thing that could happen" sums up the Trump administration, in general, and Trump DOJ, more specifically, pretty well.

The Questionable Authority @questauthority.bsky.social · 7d

Sure. "The Grand Jury did not see the operative indictment" is the kind of fuckup where lawyers literally don't actually know what happens next because it SO fundamental a thing that it is LITERALLY possible nobody had even thought of this as a thing that could happen.

Mike Johnson says he's talked to Thune & he's "very confident that when this moves forward in the process - if & when it is processed in the Senate, which is no certainty - they will take the time methodically to do what we have not been allowed to do in the House. To amend this discharge petition."
