@PaulMSherman Westlaw is antiquated tech on a monopoly platform that hasn’t been trying for over a decade. Its AI CoCounsel models this approach with its sluggishness and number one in hallucinations rating. What a funny company.

@poorlyreasoned There’s this guy who is a constitutional litigator and keeps things neutral, calm, and deep: https://t.co/fR1Vp8da6k

Everyone is calling Trump’s $1.8B Weaponization Fund a slush fund. But what happens when the government violates your rights, ruins your life, and the courts give you only a piece of paper? That’s the uncomfortable question in this one. Watch before you scroll: https://t.co/vCNrFfsVh6

@yegormethod Nothing says elite sales tactic like borrowing from the diplomatic ambiguity that preceded nuclear war.

A Supreme Court justice. An 81-year-old Minecraft grandma. Politicians. Journalists. Streamers.

Swatting is no longer internet drama. It is a lie designed to put guns at someone’s door. This week's commentary examines its spread and why stopping it is legally hard.

Did SCOTUS really just wipe out 3 million votes in Virginia? The viral headlines say yes, but the reality is pure procedural mechanics. The real story is a lot more technical than a grand conspiracy. Full, low-drama legal breakdown in the replies below.

@dahiya_Rohtas If Google could roll back Maps to about two years ago when it still functioned, why that’d be a great upgrade!

For the past few weeks, I’ve been working behind the scenes with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California on a major matter.

Months ago, Barr & Klein PLLC's client, @OKeefeMedia , delivered a first-of-its-kind investigative report, publishing undercover footage of blatant voter fraud happening in broad daylight on Skid Row. All too often, claims about voter fraud are treated like spotting a leprechaun. But putting actual, undeniable video evidence in front of the American public changes the game. I am glad to see this administration taking the evidence seriously, and proud to be part of what is shaping up to be a historic undertaking. Stay tuned.

A great day for free speech and @OKeefeMedia @JamesOKeefeIII .

Today, the Eastern District of Virginia dismissed a lawsuit that tried to turn undercover journalism into tort and wiretap liability.

I am proud of this win because the opinion takes constitutional freedoms seriously. The First Amendment needs real breathing space. It protects reporting that is uncomfortable, adversarial, and inconvenient to powerful institutions. Especially then. Most importantly then.

I wish every judge approached constitutional freedoms with the same seriousness shown here. When courts remember that free speech is not a technicality but a foundation of our system, the whole country is better for it. We cannot allow tort law to be used as a backdoor to punish innovative journalism.

Musk v OpenAI. As a constitutional litigator, I’m looking past the courtroom drama to the actual governance documents. We're examining the legal gymnastics used to bring Microsoft into the fold—and what it means for the future of AGI.

@pushkersoni72 It would be nice if Google hadn’t broken Maps over the past year or so, added distracted driver prompts, and otherwise destroyed its previously well-operating platform.

"All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know."

[Benjamin Barr @BenjaminBarr1A]

California’s new AB 2624 (unofficially dubbed the "Stop Nick Shirley Act") is a direct assault on independent journalism and the First Amendment. Under the guise of privacy, California is creating a ready-made weapon to silence anyone who dares to film or expose institutional rot.

The optics are a constitutional nightmare: One spouse writes the rules in the legislature, while the other, the Attorney General, enforces them against the very creators investigating their administration. From Nick Shirley’s fraud exposures to James O’Keefe’s undercover reporting, the message is clear: if the truth is inconvenient, the political class will try to make the reporting illegal.

This is how silence begins. Watch the full breakdown of why this draconian bill is a machete aimed at the heart of accountability. https://t.co/kPGxSIT7rF
