“I’m sort of suing myself,” Donald Trump said openly in the months before he sued the IRS for $10 billion. Now, unless his private lawyers succeed in overturning a judge’s sanctions order on appeal, the president may well have to pay the legal fees of former judges and ex-IRS officials who opposed the case in a way the DOJ never did.

Trump filed an expedited motion on Friday asking U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams to halt her sanctions order and “related proceedings” until the president’s “Anti-Weaponization Fund”-focused appeal runs its course at the 11th Circuit.

      LW and LML replace certain words with ‘removed’, which your app may be considering censored. Based on context I believe the removed was part of the post text.

      Hmm how are you viewing the post? What was censored is the word removed in italics so maybe it’s a glitch? I still see the original post. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

        I’m viewing this in the iOS app Mlem. But I guess it is a bug/misinterpretation by the app— here it is on the mobile site:

        Very rarely, I have seen this before. Some instances do filter certain keywords, and replace it with the word ‘removed’ in italics, which triggered my app.

        Instances in certain countries (like feddit.de in Germany) have to obey local laws about certain no-no words I think.
