Five months ago, I argued against the President's $4 trillion tariffs at the Supreme Court.
In 237 years, the Court had never struck down a sitting President's signature initiative. Legal scholars said it was impossible. Some of my own colleagues said it was impossible.
We won. 6-3.
But the real story isn't what happened in that courtroom. It's what happened in the months before. And its the subject of my TED talk, coming out tomorrow.
I had the best legal team in the nation, especially Colleen Roh Sinzdak, the most outstanding legal strategist I know. Huge thanks, too, go to the Liberty Justice Center (and in particular its fearless and hyper-intelligent leader Sara Albrecht), who organized the client small businesses, as well as to the brave small businesses themselves.
I also had four teachers preparing me.
A mindset coach who'd worked with Andre Agassi.
An improv coach who taught me that "Yes, and" works in Supreme Court arguments the same way it works everywhere else.
A meditation coach who taught me stillness.
And Harvey.
Harvey predicted many of the questions the Justices asked — sometimes almost word for word. Brilliant. Tireless. Occasionally insufferable.
Here's the catch: Harvey isn't a person.
Harvey is a bespoke AI I built over the last year with a legal AI company, trained on every question every Justice has asked in oral argument for 25 years, and everything they've ever written.
Tomorrow, TED releases my talk about what really happened — and what I learned standing at that podium.
AI can predict. AI can analyze. What AI cannot do is the one thing that actually won the argument.
Connect. Read the room. Hear not just a Justice's words, but her worry — and answer the worry.
That is the irreducibly human skill.
Find yours. Go deeper. In this age of AI, that's where your edge lives.
The talk goes live Thursday, May 7 at 11am ET: https://t.co/wLxKtBsHpF
What's the irreducibly human skill in your work — the thing AI can't touch?
RFK Jr. has slithered under the radar while decimating America's public health system, but no longer. I expose how Trump and RFK Jr. are making Americans sick as MAGA and MAHA go to war.

The world doesn’t look at America with admiration and respect anymore. It looks at America with disdain and contempt, horror and confusion. It’s well past time for a collective look in the American mirror.

"It's definitely not open," @ksadjadpour says of the Strait of Hormuz. "I don't think any major shipping or oil company would tell you that we've gone back to status quo ante, and that process could take many, many months if if indeed we are able to go back to to status quo ante."
From last night:
Sen. @ChrisVanHollen: "We see the same President who attacked the Pope putting images of himself online as if he's Christ. This is a deranged man. This is a man that should have no connection to being commander in chief."
If Melania Trump actually wants to help in our Epstein investigation, she should demand that her husband release the rest of the files and ensure Pam Bondi testifies.
Survivors deserve justice.
Trump's immoral and reckless war in Iran has shot up gas prices in my district to nearly $6 a gallon.
Stop the war, stop exporting our crude oil, and pass my windfall profits tax on Big Oil to give Americans a rebate for their gas bills.
Next week, Republicans will have another chance to vote with us to end the war in Iran.
@SenSanders & I will also call for a vote to stop the sale of US taxpayer-funded weapons to the Netanyahu gov, which has used them in violation of international law.
We must end these wars.
On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted.
Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness.
I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit.
I’m not defending Iran but let’s be honest about all of this.
The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon.
You know who has nuclear weapons?
Israel.
They are more than capable of defending themselves without the US having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it.
Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing.
On Easter, of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies.
Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians.
Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace.
Not escalating war that is hurting people.
This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most.
This is not making America great again, this is evil.
Trump is threatening to commit massive war crimes against the Iranian people starting at 8 pm tonight.
He is completely unhinged, and it is long past time for Republicans to speak up. Congress should reconvene immediately and vote to end this war, NOW.
Every pastor who supports this president should have to read this from the pulpit to their congregation. This is the man Paula White compared to Jesus and said he’s the greatest champion of the Christian faith we’ve ever had in the White House. So read his words aloud.
Washington Post: FBI Director Kash Patel is pressing to release a decade-old investigative file involving Rep. Eric Swalwell and a suspected Chinese intelligence operative, recently dispatching agents in the bureau’s San Francisco office to quickly redact the files before they are released publicly despite no evidence of wrongdoing by Swalwell
The potential release is part of the Trump administration’s aggressive push to investigate Swalwell, a vocal critic of President Donald Trump and a leading Democratic candidate for California governor, according to the people familiar with the effort. It is highly unusual for the FBI to release case files tied to a probe that did not result in criminal charges.
