After revelations that Jack Smith's Arctic Frost investigation concealed subpoenas targeting sitting U.S. Senators and hundreds of Republicans by hiding behind NDOs, it has become clear that reform is needed to ensure nondisclosure orders cannot be weaponized. 2/x

The bill passed the House 412–0 last Congress and cleared House Judiciary unanimously in November 2025, and we are now urging leadership to bring it to the floor.

Today, a coalition of 30+ organizations and individuals led by @CmteForJustice sent Congress a letter in support of the NDO Fairness Act, which would ensure nondisclosure orders are subject to judicial review and cannot be used to obtain personal data without notification. 1/x

“Yet the administration can and must still keep the pressure on the Brazilian government to ensure a fairer and more reciprocal relationship — and fast.”

More from me on Brazil’s (Unfair) Digital Markets Bill:

[Digital Liberty @DigitalLiberty]

A great explanation of what's happening in Brazil with digital trade by @andashleysays.

It's sadly no different than the EU or east Asia's approach.

Congratulations to United States Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who today becomes the second longest-serving Supreme Court Justice in American history. 🧵

My latest in @dcexaminer on Brazil’s DMA-like bill:

“‘By using arbitrary thresholds such as market value and user base, rather than proven misconduct, to single out companies to designate as systemically relevant, the bill is specifically designed to target a small set of global firms, most of them American technology companies such as Amazon, Google, and Apple. This gives Brazilian regulators immense control over the operations of the designated firms, which would be subject to a list of potential obligations that is both sweeping and non-exhaustive — obligations that the rest of the market does not face.”

Sometimes kneecapping your own state’s economy is a choice.

Beyond the tradesmen and skilled workers who will now look elsewhere for opportunities to build, Maine is also delaying economic opportunities that will come from increased capacity.

Mamdani discovers socialist platitudes aren't the same as real life economic tradeoffs.

Side note: New York City already receives around 55% of its revenue from federal aid and subsidies.

Tomorrow at 1 PM ET I’ll be moderating a @FedSoc forum on the FTC’s HSR pre-merger notification rule and the pending appeal before the Fifth Circuit. We will discuss the district court decision to vacate the rule, legal arguments on both sides of the appeal, and implications for future rulemaking.

Why continue to waste time and (taxpayer funded) resources?

This is so long after the fact, that if Facebook’s acquisition of Instagram were a person, it would be entering high school this Fall. 6/

[Ashley Baker @andashleysays]

What is *almost* as annoying is the 30 day filing extension the federal government enjoys in federal courts of appeals. First, it is in the public interest that the gov not drag their feet, and they have ample resources to reproduce records required immediately following a NOA. 1/

Great read below re: need for #AI regulatory preemption from DC and relevance of the Constitution's Commerce Clause (Art. 1, Sect. 3) .. "Much like the flow of electronic commerce on the internet is considered interstate commerce, AI is a form of algorithmic interstate commerce"
