I agree with Ezra Klein on the urgency of stopping recursive self-improving AI at the frontier. This is humanity’s last chance. But The Question Is: How do we enforce a ban on RSI — even if (a big “if”) China and the U.S. agree on the terms of such a ban?

I’m staggered to learn that 100 million Americans have been born since the Twin Towers were brought down on 9/11 a quarter century ago. It’s fitting that Donald Trump was away while the 4 living former presidents — Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden — stool solemnly by, near Ground Zero in Manhattan.
Judge Luttig has again performed a great service to the United States Constitution and to our republic by unsparingly and with great care and learning spelling out the steps that the Trump Party — I will not dignify it by calling it the Republican Party — plans to take in making January 3, 2027 the next January 6, another Day That Will Live in Infamy; and by meticulously and realistically outlining what all elected representatives of the American People must do — starting now — if they wish to redeem themselves in the eyes of history and avoid becoming the grim executioners of our once-great experiment in government of the people, by the people, and for the people. — Laurence Tribe

Happy Juneteenth. What an awesome event at the Obama Center yesterday! It’s great that
both Obamas’ absolutely magnificent speeches were covered live. And the music was . . . well, to live for. (Let’s retire that dumb “to die for” meme.)
“The Fix” is an important new book by a brilliant former US attorney, now a leading U of Michigan law professor and TV commentator. I recommend pre-ordering it now!

No justice could deny that Trump’s EO violates the 1952 Act of Congress conferring citizenship on exactly the same children born in the US whose citizenship the EO tries to erase. A 9-0 decision so holding would leave Congress free to try Trump’s move if it was as racist as he is
NEW: Trump had business motive for keeping classified documents, Jack Smith finds
The special counsel’s team found Donald Trump held onto documents so secret only six people could legally review them — and believed his reason for doing so was personal financial gain. https://t.co/1nZ7xpRywk
Many of my theologian friends think this is one of my best cartoons. I suppose it's because it illustrates that we interpret scripture through our own fears and fantasies so that they confirm our preconceptions and magically mirror what we already believe. Confirmation bias.
The move against state bars is of a piece with the administration’s broader strategy against universities, the media and law firms — any organization capable of challenging the president’s power. And few things threaten it more than holding it to the truth.
