AI models are rapidly improving – so fast that they may soon be able to develop themselves without human involvement. That’s why Anthropic is warning the AI industry: It needs to build a “brake pedal,” or companies risk losing control of their creations: https://cnn.it/4dQC0f1

WATCH: See what ICE whistleblower @ryanschwank.bsky.social and Whistleblower Aid CEO Libby Liu told Web Summit attendees in Vancouver about accountability and technology

BREAKING: The Trump administration tried to falsely declare 2.7 million people as dead in Social Security records in order to upend their lives. Our client, whistleblower Jeremiah Schofield, spoke with the Washington Post about his explosive new revelations.

Today was an extremely heavy day for clips between the Rubio, Mullin, and Blanche hearings. If you appreciate my efforts to cover them all for you, please support what I do by signing up for my newsletter. Not only are we doing good work, but paid subscribers make my clipping possible. Thanks.

ABC and CBS paid Trump. NBC gave to his ballroom. Scott Pelley took a stand and was fired. CNN is next. When Trump sued me, I fought and won. It is that spirit I brought to Democracy Docket. Fearlessly independent, always pro-democracy. Help it grow by subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

I have worked with Scott Pelley on a number of occasions. He is a good person - a good human. He stood up for truth, fairness and his colleagues. What Paramount has done to @cbsnews.com and @60minutes.bsky.social is unconscionable. I echo @markzaidesq.bsky.social — we stand with Scott!

Thank you @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

I'm going to miss my near daily hit of Stephen Colbert. A lot. While I wasn't able to stay up and watch it air live, I watched his monologue EVERY morning in bed. First thing. And his humor and lightness got me through tough times and interesting times, like Impeachment Classic.

It was an honor to come back and speak on ethics in national security to undergraduate and graduate students from across the country at The Washington Center's National Security Seminar.

It was an honor to come back and speak again this year. Thank you!

My client @oliviatroye.com has put her hat in the ring!!!

Bro — what ya doing to Epstein?

The latest from @andrewbakaj.bsky.social and me through our @wbaidlaw.bsky.social hats about DHS, it's new Secretary and the opportunities to help whistleblowers. www.justsecurity.org/135134/secre...

DOJ OIG declined to investigate new whistleblower claims of unlawful firings despite saying in 2021 that summary dismissal reserved for “extraordinary cases” that “require a strong and swift response” such as “child pornography” & “employee who stole drug evidence for personal use.”

Our @wbaidlaw.bsky.social FBI clients filed protected disclosures to DOJ OIG abt unlawful firings. Instead of investigating, OIG declined bc of "limited resources" & wants to send to FBI, i.e., investigate itself. The oversight system is broken. My statement: whistlebloweraid.org/doj-inspecto...

Thank you @colbertlateshow.bsky.social!

Really cool to have Stephen Colbert thank our client, Ryan Schwank, on @colbertlateshow.bsky.social last night. We at @wbaidlaw.bsky.social are very Schwankful! youtu.be/-A2xfWBEhM8?...

Our statement from @wbaidlaw.bsky.social whistlebloweraid.org/whistleblowe...

Before you watch tonight’s State of the Union, watch this! Thank you Ryan and my colleagues at @wbaidlaw.bsky.social for doing this! www.cnn.com/2026/02/24/u...

Coming up next hour on The Briefing! Sen. Amy Klobuchar @klobuchar.senate.gov MN AG Keith Ellison @ag.state.mn.us Andrew Bakaj @andrewbakaj.bsky.social

It's time to return to Washington and proceed to Congress.

UPDATE: Whistleblower Aid Chief Legal Counsel @AndrewBakaj -- "Director Gabbard has failed to meet her legal mandate to provide me and my whistlebloweraid.org client with security guidance on disclosing classified information to congressional intelligence committees.

As a Moynihan alum, it's Moynihan Hall and Penn Station.

Our whistleblower client is willing to speak, w/appropriate protections, w/Gang of Eight & cleared staffs to provide addt'l details about complaint & address credibility & concerns of politicization, as well as answer questions @odnigov.bsky.social is refusing to address. We all want the truth.

You don't hide something for over eight months if you're not afraid of the consequences or knowingly engaging in something that would damage trust. It's deliberate, sustained deception.

Remember when the Fourth Amendment was still a thing? Great work here by @wbaidlaw.bsky.social and @andrewbakaj.bsky.social apnews.com/article/ice-...

What did Susie Wiles know and when did she know it? And what did she do with it?!

Thank you, @muellershewrote.com

Breaking news: Composer Philip Glass withdrew his highly anticipated Symphony No. 15 from its scheduled Kennedy Center performance, saying “the values of the Kennedy Center today are in direct conflict with the message of the Symphony.”

“I can’t look my daughters in the eye and say I’m running as a Republican, when they’re pulling over Hispanics and Asians because of the color of their skin and what they look like. I did not sign up for that.” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

For years, parents alleged that top social media companies had gotten teens hooked on their products with addictive design features. Now, the first of several high-profile social media addiction lawsuits against Meta, TikTok and YouTube goes to trial.

BARTIROMO: But how was he threatening Border Patrol? How was he using a gun to threaten? He was filming it KASH PATEL: That's something I'll let DHS because they are investigating that case (Notable that even Bartiromo seems to be bothered by this!)

Klobuchar points out that the Trump administration is simultaneously assaulting the First Amendment, Second Amendment, and Fourth Amendment

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Minnesota’s justice system will have the last word.

"Videos analyzed by The New York Times appear to contradict the accounts of federal officials, who said Mr. Pretti approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and the intent to 'massacre' them. Video footage shows Mr. Pretti stepping between a woman and an agent who is pepper spraying her. ...

Another citizen exercising his rights died today as ICE continues to flout the law and the constitution. This follows the secret directive our brave whistleblowers exposed earlier this week instructing ICE agents to break into homes without a judicial warrant. We need accountability for all of it.

Alex Pretti, who is identified as the man fatally shot by a U.S. Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis on Saturday, was an intensive care nurse dedicated to treating veterans. Read more about him here: https://wapo.st/3M62eyV

"Pretti was a U.S. citizen, born in Illinois. Like Good, court records showed he had no criminal record and his family said he had never had any interactions with law enforcement beyond a couple of traffic tickets." {gift link} wapo.st/3LxWTQV

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

It’s been a busy week at @wbaidlaw.bsky.social whistlebloweraid.org #ice

This is the most Minnesota thing ever, but this time, seriously.

Wow -- Fanone coughs "go fuck yourself" to Trey Nehls as Nehls blames Capitol Police leadership for January 6

Here’s the report www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Our latest from @wbaidlaw.bsky.social. @governorwalz.mn.gov -- we agree. Everyone, irrespective of party, should be outraged by this assault on freedom and privacy.

They’re not bluffing about Greenland. They’re not bluffing about all options being on the table. Wake up!

About 1,500 soldiers w/ 11th Airborne Division in Alaska have been placed on prepare-to-deploy orders with a mission in Minnesota in mind, defense officials tell me tonight. Unclear if some or all of them ultimately will go. News reported tonight by ABC News, too.
