And already had an AI submission--for a 3-page, ungraded diagnostic exercise designed so I could help them see how I grade. Literally worth no points. And the hallucinate citations were obvious, so it got my "I'd give it an F" response. Was he testing to see if I could catch him? Probably.

Assigning prompts tied to readings that require use of quotations as supporting evidence. AI can't do that with new books, unless students can source the text.

Dear journalists:

The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her.

We’re up to at least 97 cases in which district courts have blocked Trump policies—from 73 different judges (appointed by seven different presidents) in 25 different district courts across 10 circuits.

Today’s “One First” looks at what critics of these rulings are leaving out of their narratives:
155. What District Court Critics Aren't Telling You
The increasingly loud claim that district courts are abusing their powers by blocking Trump administration policies depends upon a series of indefensibly selective (and easily rebutted) arguments.

This is exactly how fast Trump went from violating one immigrant's rights to violating American citizens' rights.

It did not take long.

🚨DOGE Aims to Pool Federal Data, Putting Personal Information at Risk

DOGE "disable[d] automated tracking logs," thereby erasing traces of their actions to avoid legal culpability.

This is a klaxon Democrats and advocates should heed and act on. Big, solid story by 5 seasoned reporters. Gift link!

This is corruption.

It was a long week, but today ended with two voting rights victories in Pennsylvania and Trump's executive order targeting my old law firm being permanently blocked by a federal judge in DC.

My advice: stay hopeful, stay strong, stay informed.

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows:

An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...
