Trump’s War On Journalists Also Includes Targeting A Freelance NYT Contributor
Donald Trump took possession of a $400 million "gift" plane from the Qatari government earlier this year. Trump claimed it was a coup for taxpayers and a boon for America, even as he made it clear this was all about him. According to Trump, no plane was more luxurious than this graft-y replacement for the...

eBay And Former Execs Agree To Pay $56 Million For Trying To ‘Crush’ A Journalist

Judge To xAI: If This Law Is So Urgent, Why Did You Wait Three Months To Sue?
Last week we wrote about how Elon Musk's xAI had filed a lawsuit to attempt to block Minnesota's anti-nudify app law. As we tried to explain, even if you (reasonably, understandably) dislike both Elon and "nudify" apps, there were real problems with the Minnesota law. In particular, it was not narrowly tailored to just target...

The Worst Person You Know Just Filed A Good First Amendment Lawsuit Against A Very Badly Drafted Nudify App Ban
There's been a bunch of news this week regarding Minnesota's new law that purports to prohibit "nudification" technology, and the fact that xAI has sued to have the law blocked as unconstitutional. A few things need to be said upfront, because it's very, very easy to just say the tech is terrible, that Elon Musk...

This article is republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license. Read the original article. A little-noticed presidential national security directive is now the legal engine behind a wave of terrorism prosecutions against left-wing protesters.

The FTC Would Like To Decide Which AI Answers Are Too Woke, And Is Calling That Consumer Protection
On Friday this week the FTC's open comment period regarding its "Policy Statement Addressing AI Accuracy" will close, which means that a bunch of very smart, very busy people are wasting a ton of time this week writing up comments that will mostly be ignored by the FTC — but still matter for the record....

Protester Charged With Destroying Property After Giving CBP Agents His GrapheneOS ‘Duress’ Mode Passcode
Atlanta, Georgia's attempt to erect a law enforcement officer training center in Atlanta was met by months of concerted protests. As the months stretched into years (the center was announced in 2021 but did not complete construction until 2025), opposition efforts ranged from peaceful protests to heated exchanges during public comment sessions to attacks on...

DOJ Withdraws NY Times Subpoenas After Judge Notices It Never Bothered To Follow The Rules For Subpoenaing Reporters
Just last week we had the story of the Trump DOJ issuing very questionable subpoenas of NY Times journalists while trying to track down who leaked information to those reporters regarding the potentially catastrophic security flaws of the "gift" 747 plane he received from Qatar. As we noted in that original post, this appeared to...
