For a better understanding of the Nobel Peace Prize and how it differs from the other Nobel prizes I recommend visiting the Peace Prize Museum in Oslo, Norway.

An early morning run along #lakemichigan helps deal with the increasingly chaotic world we find ourselves in.

A good place to use one’s legal talents in this time.

BREAKING: Today, over 1,000 former DOJ officials who served in both Republican & Democratic administrations—have released a letter condemning the unprecedented, politically motivated indictment of fmr. FBI Director James Comey. Read their letter: protdem.org/3ITOo0Y

The road to the December Gulfport Mississippi Half Marathon begins on the shores of #Lakemichigan.

FCC Brendan Carr now in comfortable lead in the competition for America’s federal worst agency head.

Enjoyed the amazing Patricia Barber at #Chicagojestfest in #millenniumpark with my loyola chicago colleague @sambruns.bsky.social

recent events suggest these concerns are more relevant than ever before. competitionpolicyinternational.com/wp-content/u...

One of my favorite places to run outside of #Chicago. #CentralPark.

Scandavia has much Viking themed content but only one teeshirt can reign supreme.

Love running in #Chicago.

First day of our annual conference of @ascola.bsky.social in Chicago at @sweberwaller.bsky.social. A great meeting of friends who explore the boundaries of competition. #ASCOLA2025

Didn’t expect the final episode of a series on an imagined Martian revolution to be moving. Well done, @mikeduncan.bsky.social.

Is he a law professor? Or is he a jazz pianist whose new album just received a glowing review in Downbeat magazine? In the case of Juan Perea of @loyolachicago.bsky.social, he's both. Very cool.

During the Red Scare, Arnold & Porter was one of the only firms to defend people accused of disloyalty. Their courage is a lesson for today. Here’s their story: www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Ducked out for a beach run before another day of admin, writing, workshops, and prep for tomorrow’s Law Journal symposium on the demise of #Chevron.

Barry Lynn's statement on Trump's illegal, unconstitutional attempt to fire FTC Commissioners Bedoya and Slaughter. "[H]e has chosen to put the interests of the oligarch and all-powerful corporation first, and the interests of every other American last."

Becca and Alvaro are two of the smartest, most dedicated public servants I know. This is illegal, a travesty, and a serious harm to our polity.

Gulf of Mexico. Gulf of Mexico. Gulf of Mexico.

A day of high and low culture in #Milwaukee with visits to the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Milwaukee Art Museum.

an aging unpopular U.S. President tries to whip up anti-Canadian sentiment to play to his domestic political base. Oh wait.

Like all good Chicagoans, I’m getting excited to celebrate Casimir Pulaski Day tomorrow (first Monday in March). Who’s with me besides my friends in Savannah, Georgia? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir...

I told OPM what I did last week

In a new piece in The Sling, Darren Bush warns about being too exuberant about FTC Chairman Ferguson's X posts, one way or another, and the keeping of the Merger Guidelines. Check it out. #Antitrust #Econtwitter www.thesling.org/is-the-new-f...

Great reporting from @marychilds.bsky.social about @hamiltonproject.org's federal outlay tracker. Give a listen! Only quibble is that superstars Noadia Steinmetz-Silber + Riki Matsumoto didn't get their deserved shout-out. So I shout here. www.hamiltonproject.org/data/trackin...

getting many requests to help from federal workers affected by layoffs, “buyout offers”, and agency chaos. Welcome any recs for quality employee side lawyers to pass along. Some of the folks are in unions, others not if there affects your recommendations. much obliged.

Midway through last week’s wave of DOJ resignations over l’affaire Adams, we recorded @strictscrutiny.bsky.social live at Fordham Law School & both @leahlitman.bsky.social & @profmmurray.bsky.social were truly on 🔥🔥🔥

If Carr at FTC and Ferguson at FTC are competing for the gold in most MAGA independent agency chair, who is playing for the bronze?

Fun podcast conversation on rethinking antitrust with Bilal Sayyed. rethinking-antitrust.simplecast.com/episodes/sho...

Trump's coziness with Big Tech CEOs has gotten a lot of attention this week, but don't count out Keir Starmer! He's interfering with competition enforcement to the benefit of American tech companies, as some of the Biden admin's centrist critics wanted him to do. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Wondering when the Wall Street Journal editorial board criticizes FTC Chair Ferguson for exceeding his constitutional and statutory authority, focusing on issues beyond the FTC’s mandate, and harming agency morale? let alone 74 times. #sarcasm

Please join us at Loyola Chicago for #ASCOLA2025 and submit your paper proposals by February 3.
