In the USA’s 250 year history, a pope has never voted in our elections until the 2026 midterms.

Does the President always get shot in TV shows starring @bradleywhitford? The West Wing The Diplomat Handmaid’s Tale

Republicans have given up on vetting people.

Is it legal for President Trump to bar news outlets from White House grounds? Bill discusses the legality with @ProfUnger of Quinnipiac University School of Law piped.video/watch?v=U1_PcmrQ…

Is there anything more MAGA than the smug arrogance of someone who’s dead wrong but doesn’t realize it yet?

I can’t wait to see criminal defendants use the “but the AI chatbot told me so” as a defense. Except, does this count as reasonable reliance on a government official’s interpretation of the law? 🤔

No, the POTUS has no constitutional authority to change an industry term, and even if he did, we ought to question his priorities…

It’s frustrating to see so many ardent Trump supporters now “see” how horrible he is when we’ve been saying this for YEARS. Thiel. MTG. Tucker Carlson.

Gotta fact check Bill O’Reilly when he’s incorrect.

See my constitutional analysis on the press ban here.

When President Trump barred three news organizations from the White House, a lawsuit followed. In it, the news outlets invoked their Fifth and First amendments rights. theconversation.com/when-pre…

“Stupidity is not legal malpractice. Incompetence is legal malpractice.” Came up with this to explain to a 1L why a lawyer didn’t commit malpractice by losing the case for their client.

People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true. I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin. Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions. Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25. Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha. So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years.

It took us 20 years to hold social media companies accountable for the harms that they’ve inflicted. We learned what happens in the absence of regulation. We ought to apply that lesson to AI. We must regulate it now, not in 20 years.

The @GOP is also the party that argued for years that COVID stimulus funds caused inflation, and yet, here we are…
