Within days of the release of the first-ever smartphone with an AI agent embedded in the operating system, many of China’s biggest apps blocked the Doubao phone over reported risks to data security. @sammsacks.bsky.social identifies the AI governance lessons the U.S. should learn from this debate.
This week's Seriously Risky Business looks at U.S. cyber operations against Iran, the rise of AI-powered cybercrime, increasing ransomware attacks, China's use of AI in its cyber operations, and more. Read the newsletter, from @tom.risky.biz.
“This appears to be the latest example of DOJ leadership trying to avoid oversight and accountability for their lawlessness,” Justice Connection's Stacey Young said.
Senior career DOJ employees are positioned to challenge leadership, blow the whistle, and protect junior staff from political blowback.
OPM’s new proposed rule would make it easier to fire them.
The rule is open for public comment until May 4:
DOJ has long sought to avoid even the appearance of partisanship.
AG Bondi’s new rules throw that out of the window, undermining public trust that DOJ pursues cases without bias.
Hard-working families here in Wisconsin and across our country are paying the price for Trump’s reckless and illegal tariff taxes, costing Americans nearly $200 billion last year alone.
We're going to court to stop him.

A federal judge has given the Trump administration more time to start refunding the approximately $166 billion it collected from tariffs the Supreme Court recently invalidated. on.wsj.com/3OT3yGE
@kamlager-dove.house.gov’s grilling of Kristi Noem was a great example of holding her to account for her poor judgment.

Congressional Democrats have joined a legal challenge against President Trump's planned 250-foot triumphal arch, arguing it requires congressional approval under the Commemorative Works Act.
Veterans and a historic preservationist have also sued.
BRIEF FOR APPELLANTS USCA Case #25-5310 • Document #2162591 Filed: 03/06/2026 Page 2 of 97 STANLEY E. WOODWARD, JR. Associate Attorney General ABHISHEK S. KAMBLI Deputy Associate Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice
INTRODUCTION Courts cannot tell the President what to say. Courts cannot tell the President what not to say. They cannot tell the President how to handle national security clearances. And they cannot interfere with Presidential directives instructing agencies to investigate racial discrimination that violates federal civil rights laws. Nor can they interfere with Presidential directives instructing agencies to review contracts or regulate government building access based on those same racial-discrimination and national-security concerns especially where such directives have not yet been implemented. Ignoring those constraints, the district courts below bent over backwards to facially invalidate every section of four Executive Orders without considering their plainly constitutional aspects and applications. This appeal of those sweeping decisions is not about the sanctity of the American law firm; it is about lower courts encroaching on the constitutional power of the President to discuss and address invidious racial discrimination, national security risks, and other problems with certain law firms.
In recognition of those problems, many law firms agreed to address their practices and commit to providing pro bono work in the public interest.1 These consolidated appeals concern four Executive Orders ("EOs") through which the President addressed risks from four other law firms: Perkins Coie LLP ("Perkins"), Jenner & Block LLP ("Jenner"), Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale & Dorr LLP ("WilmerHale"), and Susman Godfrey LLP ("Susman"). The substantially similar EOs directed a review of plaintiffs to ensure that the Federal Government's dealings with them are consistent with our Nation's civil rights laws, national security, and other public interests. In response, plaintiffs raised facial challenges under the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments. Four district courts issued permanent injunctions against the four EOs. That was error, because the EOs are well within the Presidential prerogative. 1 Allen Overy Shearman Sterling LLP; Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP; Kirkland & Ellis LLP; Latham & Watkins LLP; Milbank LLP; Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP; Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP; Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP; and Wilkie Farr & Gallagher LLP.
NEW: After starting the week by announcing it was dropping the appeals, two political appointees at DOJ filed the government's brief backing Trump's law firm executive orders, previously declared unconstitutional by four different district court judges.
Background: www.lawdork.com/p/doj-to-dro...
Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) asked a federal court to block President Trump’s plan to close the Kennedy Center.
Beatty, an ex officio board member, says she was excluded from prior meetings and is seeking access to an upcoming discussion of Trump's plan.
🔥 Looks like Republicans are getting their just rewards....Stay tuned...
Kennedy Center updates:
—Rep. Joyce Beatty (ex officio member of the board of trustees) is suing again, this time to make sure Trump doesn't demolish the center.
—Grenell has, as threatened, sued Chuck Redd for canceling a concert.
—The exec. director of the National Symphony Orchestra has quit.

This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.
The follow-up should have been, "Iran's strikes are very specifically targeted. So could you tell us: of the top-secret documents you left sitting in public places around Mar-a-lago, how many were about Iran war planning?"
DOJ goes from "there are no more files to release" to "we're planning to release more Epstein files imminently." www.ms.now/ana-cabrera-...
DOJ admits 47,635 Epstein files — including Trump allegations — were removed

According to the regime, "interest" in the Epstein files has dropped dramatically since Trump started his unauthorized war.
Really?
Not for me. Anyone else?
Do not let him distract attention from this. That was the whole point of his war. #Epstein is the key to it ALL.
