HEY DOJ: Donald Trump conducted a summit with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. This meeting took place at Mar-a-Lago while Trump was a private citizen.
The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that criminalizes the negotiation of a dispute between the United States and a foreign government by an unauthorized American citizen. The intent behind the Act is to prevent unauthorized negotiations from undermining the government's position.

Beginners often believe that programming is about writing code -- specifying instructions to be executed by a computer. But this is about as accurate as believing the job of a novelist is to craft nice sentences.
In reality, programming is the design of mental models.

This can be a tough time. Did you know that if you text 741741 when you are feeling depressed or suicidal, a crisis worker will text you back immediately and continue to text with you? Many people don’t like talking on the phone and would be more comfortable texting. It's FREE .
