Today, we were officially notified by USG that Pres Trump's memo that revoked my security clearance w/o due process is no longer in effect over me. My access eligibility to classified info has been restored. On Dec 23, 2025, a federal court ruled his action was unconstitutional. Rule of Law wins!

Congress, Its Inherent Powers, and the #Epstein Files open.substack.com/pub/michaelp.... My latest post on @legalafmtn.bsky.social re: the #EpsteinFiles and the need for #Congress to take action to ensure #DOJ complies with the law. #ruleoflaw

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Another great conversation with @markzaidesq.bsky.social on @legalafmtn.bsky.social talking about his recent victory against the #Trump Administration. youtu.be/mbj8ulXSk3A?...

Kavanaugh goes out of his way to pen a footnote not having to deal with the case at hand. He appears to be trying to narrow the forces he unleashed with his prior opinion allowing for race- and ethnicity-based #KavanaughStops

Can we just come out and call this the “Golden Fleece,” please?

Albany Law School reunited!

It was an honor to interview whistleblower attorney extraordinaire @markzaidesq.bsky.social on @legalafmtn.bsky.social. We talk the Freedom of Information Act, boat strikes, military orders and his own efforts to fight to restore his security clearance. Check it out here: youtu.be/zdauvJ-fKOM?...

Prof. Ray Brescia interviews Mark Zaid, a top expert on FOIA and whistleblower law and a plaintiff suing the Trump administration over the revocation of his security clearance. They discuss filing FOIA requests, whistleblower rights, and Zaid’s case. @raybrescia.bsky.social

My recent piece on the @brisunipress.bsky.social Transforming Society Blog discussing #AI and the future of the #legalprofession. www.transformingsociety.co.uk/2025/12/10/w...

ICYMI -- my preview of the #Trump executive order on #AI which explains why it's both bad policy and also illegal. It will also likely lead to suits by both blue- and red-state AGs, at least it should. youtu.be/bd4ifdFCfhU?...

Ray Brescia, author of 'Lawyer 3.0', suggests that #AI won’t replace #Lawyers so much as force the profession to rethink its role by combining technology with human judgment, empathy and advocacy. https://ow.ly/HQbV50XGKNe

Check out my interview with @joshua.stealingheather.com and his lawyers about his lawsuit against #PamBondi and the Trump Administration over its efforts to #jawbone #Apple into removing his app, #ICEBlock, from the app store. #ICE youtu.be/Mz2h_2Bl5O4?...

It's looking like #Trump will sign an #EO on #AI preempting states from regulating this tech. We've seen this movie before with #Section230. This video for @legalafmtn.bsky.social explains why the EO is bad policy and is likely illegal: lawhttps://youtube.com/shorts/KAamIzkTrwI?si=eiU5Egngdzsy9j3a

So, not only did Hegseth order the Code Red, there was a pre-written contingency plan to do just that.

I always love #LOTR references, but not by those stealing our data. I'm taking up @rbreich.bsky.social's challenge and sharing not just his #Palantir video, www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_Vw..., but also this full-length documentary on the company: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWLL.... Check them BOTH out.

Can the #Trump Administration ban states from regulating #AI by executive order after the effort couldn’t get through Congress? No, it cannot. Even red state attorneys general would likely get in on the act to fight this. Check out my latest on @legalafmtn.bsky.social. youtu.be/bd4ifdFCfhU?...

My latest video on @legalafmtn.bsky.social. Like members of the military, lawyers ALSO must refrain from unethical and illegal conduct, including lawyers in the #DOJ. In addition, lawyers have a duty to report serious ethical lapses by other lawyers too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzL1...

@raybrescia.bsky.social examines the “3.5-Percent Rule,” the idea that when 3.5% of a population backs a movement, major change can follow. Tune in below.

Please check out my recent post on @legalafmtn.bsky.social discussing the “3.5% rule” of political resistance and how advocates can harness what I call “deliberate protest” to drive change. #NoKings #marriageequality @unitehere.org youtube.com/watch?v=YLoY...

Please read my recent post on @couriernewsroom.bsky.social where I show that dissent and protest are both deeply American and at the center of the First Amendment. #NoKings #dissent #freespeech couriernewsroom.com/news/ray-bre...

On Nov. 7, 2025, Trump pardoned 70+ people tied to trying to overturn the 2020 election. Albany Law Prof Ray Brescia explains why it’s huge—but a pardon won’t shield lawyers from losing their licenses, as licensing is mostly outside federal reach. @raybrescia.bsky.social
