A lot happened in 2025–from the deployment of National Guard in cities across the country to airstrikes in the Caribbean to DOGE's incursion into executive agencies to the weaponization of the Justice Department—and we covered it all.

I don't know, Aaron. I think we need to take this seriously. In fact, after surveying hundreds of years of history in the past few days, I've written an article assessing the originalist case here:

The replies to this post are so depressing. Self-driving cars have the potential to save tens of thousands of lives. Minnesota should encourage this as much as possible, including by amending state law if necessary!

For the umpteenth time, executive orders are not magic spells. They're just Truth Social posts on nicer stationary.

The WH is considering an executive order preempting state legislation on AI if the moratorium does not pass in the NDAA, according to a person familiar with the matter. However, a WH official said until such an order is announced, "discussion about potential executive orders is speculation."

I spoke with @ariquelmy.bsky.social (@courthousenews.bsky.social) about why California's new law that will ban ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers from wearing masks on duty likely violates the Supremacy Clause. Check out his article below!

ICE unmasked: California officials clash over enforcement of looming law
Some legal experts say the no-mask mandate will likely be struck down — and one top prosecutor is already advising federal agents to ignore the new law set to take effect next year.

Harvey.AI is courting law schools like Westlaw/Lexis once did, but do we really need it? After a demo, my verdict: it's ChatGPT in a black turtleneck. Good for firms needing secure doc review & RAG, but law students can already do most of this with existing tools. matthewsag.com/do-law-schoo...
