X ABC Meta Paramount These companies all settled lawsuits with Donald Trump by promising to donate as much as $63 MILLION to his presidential library. But then, Trump dissolved a library fund. So where'd the money go? I'm pressing these CEOs for answers.

Scoop: The Pentagon barred press photographers from briefings on the ongoing U.S.-Israeli military conflict with Iran after they published photos of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that his staff deemed "unflattering."

This anonymous protest art group is amazing.

Scoop: DHS ousted multiple privacy officers at CBP after they questioned orders to purposely mislabel records about government surveillance to prevent their release under FOIA.

Since last year, the US has publicized a visa policy that targets & threatens people who study & report on online harms. Yesterday @knightcolumbia.org & @protectdemocracy.org filed a lawsuit challenging this censorship policy on behalf of @thecoalition.bsky.social knightcolumbia.org/content/tech...

"The Times analysis found that 300 billionaires and their immediate family members donated more than $3 billion — 19 percent of all contributions — in federal elections in 2024, either directly or through political action committees." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...

Reporter: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. But you're the only person in your government saying this. Why? Trump: Because I just don't know enough about it.

Important ruling on immigration operations in Minnesota Judge Tostrud (Trump appointee): "Plaintiffs have made a clear showing that Defendants have adopted a POLICY authorizing federal immigration officers to conduct investigatory stops based on ethnicity or race without reasonable suspicion." 1/

Today the @knightcolumbia.org sued over the Trump administration's Orwellian effort to combat "censorship" by engaging in, uh, censorship. We are challenging the government's policy of targeting independent researchers and others who work in trust and safety and advise on content moderation.

This was one of the most meaningful projects I've worked on recently. Dylan Lopez Contreras, a student at ELLIS Prep academy in the Bronx, was taken by ICE. Here's what he and his classmates want you to know...

The upside of this is we'll get appellate precedent explaining how unconstitutional these orders are.

“The U.S. respectfully requests that it be allowed to withdraw the motion for voluntary dismissal that it filed yesterday. The DOJ inadvertently applied independent judgment on these appeals’ viability but the White House reminded us of our new role this morning after reading the papers. Our bad!

What a 🤡 show.

The meritocracy! abovethelaw.com/2026/03/law-...

Is the @apnews.com allowed to attend?

What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.

What does the AP think of this?

And, all the way back last March, I wrote about the capitulation of Paul Weiss and how it was “dangerous for the rule of law and the nation.” Thankfully, others — Perkins Coie, Jenner & Block, WilmerHale, and Susman Godfrey — did fight back.

WHOA: WSJ reporting that DOJ is dropping its appeals of the four law firm executive order rulings as soon as today. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

I want nothing but the worst for everyone involved in this administration

Housing officials are warning New Yorkers about how to tell a real city inspector from someone who may be impersonating one amid “increased immigration enforcement,” according to a recent PSA-style video from the agency.

Trump admin to start demanding social media account info from people applying for green cards, citizenship, work & travel authorizations, refugee status, etc. A way to chill immigrant speech & give officials pretext for denying status to people critical of them reason.com/2026/02/23/t...

This is a type of ICE "ruse," and is a tactic the agency has deployed for decades. In 2015, ICE went to my former client's house posing as cops and convinced his 16-year-old US citizen niece to call him home from work with a fake story (the "identity theft ruse" explained below), then arrested him.

“In any normal administration this merger would be a non-starter. In this one, the corruption & capitulation of the Ellison family is the selling point," @notaaroncraig.bsky.social says about Paramount's takeover of Warner Bros, which would give the Trump-friendly Ellisons control of both CBS & CNN.

One family is about to control CBS, CNN, HBO, and TikTok. They’ll buy Warner Brothers with $24 billion from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi. To win over Trump, they canceled Colbert, blocked a 60 Minutes CECOT investigation, and blocked Talarico. Much more will follow. Block this rotten deal.

Student journalists are journalists. We stand with the reporters who investigate their schools and inform their communities on Student Press Freedom Day. (1/3)

UPDATE: Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal says that "ICE used a phony missing persons bulletin for a 5 year old girl," to lie and get into a Columbia residential building and detain a student. "It is unconfirmed at this time whether they impersonated an officer to do so," he adds.

The long 2010s are finally over

BREAKING: Columbia President Claire Shipman says DHS agents entered a residential buliding this morning and detained a student. "Our understanding at this time is that the federal agents made misrepresentations to gain entry to the building to search for a 'missing person.'"

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims. By @mckenziefunk.com @micarosenberg.bsky.social

The headline should read: Judge Pays Trump Back For Lifetime Job By Burying Evidence Of His Crimes. www.cnn.com/2026/02/23/p...

So well thought out she calls the Knight First Amendment Institute the “First Knight Institute”.

Judge Cannon has just denied @knightcolumbia.org & @weareoversight.bsky.social motions to intervene and permanently barred DOJ from disclosing Jack Smith's report. She says (again) that Smith was appointed unconstitutionally, and that the report is the fruit of the unconstitutional appointment.

NEW: Judge Aileen Cannon permanently forbids the Department of Justice from releasing Volume II of Jack Smith's report on his prosecution of Trump. Also bars DOJ from sharing "any information or conclusions" from the volume. A sweeping, perpetual gag order. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This allows the Trump administration to literally condition citizenship on what it defines as acceptable speech
