We really have a mad king sputtering at what he sees on TV and his bootlicking lawyers running around desperately trying to curry favor by prosecuting whoever is the subject of today's two minutes of hate. No idea how DOJ rebuilds itself after this nightmare is over.

As one of many submitting an AI focused law review article, I’m biased…But editors’ reluctance to accept too many articles on one topic shouldn’t apply to AI, which is going to fundamentally challenge innumerable areas of law, meaning now is the time we should be studying this.

One of the (many) frustrations about the TikTok "deal" is that, because its details likely won't be made public, we won't know if it actually satisfies the law. And because of who Trump is, we can't trust his certification to Congress that the divestment is valid. www.semafor.com/article/01/2...

The deal caps a yearslong battle between the social media app and the two superpowers.
