In the memo, “Nvidia also responds to claims that the ‘current situation is analogous to historical accounting frauds (Enron, WorldCom, Lucent) that featured vendor financing and SPVs [special purpose vehicles.)’”

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Petter Stordalen tapte skattesaken mot staten både i tingretten og lagmannsretten.

Stordalen kom enda dårligere ut i lagmannsrettens enn i tingrettens dom.

Merkelig å bli skuffet over dommen, når man så høylytt proklamerer at man betaler skatt med glede og stolthet🤭

Kinesiske myndigheter vurderer å ta flere grep for å gjøre biler produsert i landet sikrere.

Ett av grepene er å begrense akselerasjonen.

Hvis bilene er i stand til å akselerere fra 0-100 km/t på under fem sekunder, ønsker kineserne at man må aktivt velge en kjøremodus som muliggjør dette:

Breaking: Judge just dismissed prosecutions of James Comey and Letitia James on grounds that Trump stooge prosecutor was unlawfully appointed.

This has relevance for the whole debate over Trump giving "illegal orders." Very possible that Trump's commands for prosecutions are unlawful ones.
What about Trump's corrupt orders to DOJ to prosecute his enemies? Here it's complex, but there are scenarios in which these orders could be illegal. His lackeys might be breaking the law in carrying them out.

1/Because Judge Currie says the govt can’t keep appointing acting US Attys after an initial 120 day appt, it’s now up to the local district judges to name an acting us atty. They’re likely to name someone who will stand for the rule of law & not reindict bad cases. But…
And now, the case against Letitia James is dismissed too, same rationale but minus the statute of limitations complication.
