JUST IN: The DC Circuit has restored Shira Perlmutter as Register of Copyrights while she fights Trump’s effort to remove her from the legislative branch role in the Library of Congress. 2-1 ruling in her favor after a string of defeats in district court.

Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley: “Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be assassinated. But I’m overwhelmed seeing the flags of the United States of America at half-staff calling this nation to honor and venerate a man who was an unapologetic racist and spent all of his life sowing seeds

The Bartz v. Anthropic settlement, like other AI licensing arrangements, is not legal precedent—they're just (eye-popping) deals between (deep-pocketed) private parties. It would be a gross injustice if these kinds of deals were required for everyone who does AI development.

IF ANY CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SIGNS THIS RADICAL AGREEMENT, THEY'LL LOSE BILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING — INCLUDING CAL GRANTS — INSTANTLY. CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, RESEARCHERS, AND SURRENDER ACADEMIC FREEDOM.

I’m reading Ghislaine Maxwell’s sentencing memorandum. This is the list of Proof they had, yet the government says there are no files. Release the files now!

Let me assure the administration: Los Angeles City and County's elections are safe and secure. All Angelenos receive ballots in the mail, thousands have already voted, there is no need to vote in person so there is no need to send anyone to monitor our Vote Centers. For those few
