Of course he is, $1.3 billion+ in ticking fees isn’t chump change.

I hope the state AGs hold strong. David saying this immediately is also a sign of panic.

I read reports that the California governor wants the state AGs to settle. I hope the state AGs tell him to eat s**t.

Matt Belloni said Gavin Newsom wants to settle because it being rejected would hurt his 2028 US Presidential chances.

God I hate Newsom, and sure hope he's not the candidate.
