    Trump wants AI companies to police themselves. His FTC isn't waiting. (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    America's leading AI companies are getting exactly what they asked for. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump signed the White House Accord on Super Intelligence—a voluntary, if vacuous, agreement to self-police and adhere to the same set of rules signed by the leaders of America's top AI companies. It outlines four layers of controls and audits he'd like every AI company to implement. The president told reporters he was "seeing tremendous self-policing," and that AI companies "understand that they

    You can now sue federal agents in California. Good luck getting past qualified immunity. (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    On Tuesday, California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the No Kings Act (SB 747) into law, allowing Golden State residents to sue "every natural person who, under color of any law," violates their constitutional rights. Under the law—sponsored by state Sen. Scott Wiener (D–San Francisco)—government actors accused of violating a California resident's constitutional rights can no longer avoid accountability simply because they are federal rather than state or local officials. The bill does not

    On Sunday, instead of ads for pizza deals from Papa John's or the latest insurance pitch from Jake at State Farm, fans watching their favorite NFL or college football teams were shown a 30-second, black-and-white video of President Donald Trump. The ad, nearly identical to an ad released by the Trump presidential campaign in 2024, shows the president silently walking down a hallway, while his voiceover warns of a "final battle" to "cast out the communists, Marxists, and fascists" and "liberate A

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    What started as a "narrow constitutional exception" now "threatens to swallow the protection it was meant only to qualify," according to an amicus brief filed last week by the Cato Institute asking the Supreme Court to reconsider a petition about warrantless searches of Americans at the border. The petitioner is George Anibowei, a Texas-based immigration attorney who has, on five separate occasions when traveling internationally, been stopped and had his phone searched at the border by federal a

    Court upholds suspicionless cellphone searches at the border (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Travelers entering the U.S. through New York, Vermont, or Connecticut should be aware: The government can search your cellphone even if it doesn't suspect you of criminal activity. That's the crux of a ruling the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit released Thursday. Judge Steven Menashi writes that "no suspicion is required before the government searches a traveler's property at the border." Citing the Supreme Court in U.S. v. Ramsey (1977), the 2nd Circuit found that the "longstanding re
