The Blue Angels flyover event makes me nervous because it suggests that soldiers’ oaths to the Constitution, their commitment to civilian rule of law, is … fracturing.

New from me in the Wayne Law Review: "Out-of-State Executives." In ~half of states, a governor's "absence" from the state can create a vacancy. But what kind of absence? Any absence? A meaningful absence? Most courts haven't said! Some chaos has ensued. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Do not ask questions unless you’re ready for the answers

Gender discrimination minutiae: a few students, out of dozens, occasionally say that my use of musk for hypos/examples in my corporate law class is “unseemly.” But dudes who write non-stop alll-day about musk? That’s cool.

Just keeping track: COVID shot: no Testosterone shot: yes K got it

My partner downloaded sekiro using my credit card (so I couldn’t avoid it any longer) so now I will proceed to engage in a months-long exercise in self-flagellation. Wish me luck. gift baskets welcome.

We are entering an era where captains of industry are not apolitical men of numbers, but deeply political. This is not the hidden politics of neoliberalism. It is something new altogether. It is tech CEOs with thick, illiberal, ethical commitments and a desire to rule like princes.

Hi! I'm Danna. I love my job, my university, & my students. For 20 years, I've been teaching young leaders in politics & communication at UD. Our university has a celebrated *leadership* program, entire units dedicated to civic engagement, & freedom of expression. Which is why this is so upsetting:

this is like the literal opposite of true. the most fruitful eras of the modern democratic party coincided with periods where the walls separating political radicals from the mainstream were way less solid

a huge win for these brave FL faculty members and a good reminder for the rest of us that sometimes putting your head down and hoping things don’t get worse is not the right strategy. sometimes you need to fight in order to win.

A thing about Our Times is that it is easier than ever to find help with reading comprehension at a click of a button. And yet people demand text be made easier to comprehend — smaller words and less words. Or replaced entirely by short video clips.

I suppose if you’re worried about propping up your valuation when your finances look too rocky to pull off an IPO, this is one strategy. That or put your shares in some Trump accounts. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

It’s well and good to pay close attention to how much money the trumps jr. are making off of government contracts. But I’m also worrying about their control over the contracting companies. Are we slowly selling our sovereignty to these people?

Some insight into the attacks on higher ed: Parents are aggreived that their children have lost the “moral” foundations of “real” America. It’s personal. Personal in a way that explains the hate. (Describing ethnographic study from MIT) www.thebulwark.com/p/what-cletu...

@samuel-bagg.bsky.social is aiming to hire a postdoc to work on an anti-corruption project we've collaborated on. The position is through Yale but would involve relocating to South Carolina. It's for two years & includes no teaching. There's a soft deadline July 10th: apply.interfolio.com/188955

Very cool post-doc opportunity to work with @samuel-bagg.bsky.social on anti-corruption institutional design. Tight deadline! @lpeproject.bsky.social @lpeblog.bsky.social #lawsky apply.interfolio.com/188955

talk about too big to fail. if spacex populates the baby retirement accounts of everyone in america, it cannot be allowed to lose value www.semafor.com/article/06/2...

Since the state of Ohio, in its wisdom, legislated that we are not allowed to teach “politically controversial” topics (with a carve out for beliefs that are subject to “professional consensus”) - can conlaw profs test the 14th amendment without getting sued or fired? Asking for a friend

Today, nothing but a heart full of sorrow for all those harmed. I am sorry. This country doesn’t deserve you.

lol @ people who think getting a college degree means you won’t have to work retail

www.reuters.com/business/med... Britain is leaning towards intervening in Paramount Skydance Corp's proposed $110 billion takeover of Warner Bros Discovery, citing concerns over the impact on ​media freedom and the provision of on-demand programming.

You’re paying more for electric. You’re forced to subsidize SpaceX cash-outs with your indexed pensions. And now your iPhones and Xboxes will get more expensive. Yay AI!

Not quite. This means stability for those companies willing and able to pay bribes.

Slaughter will encourage corruption. It’s easy to compare it to spoils system of the robber baron age. But there is a HUGE difference: our fed govt is powerful, centralized & personalized under one man. Vs 100s of corrupt politicians across dozens of states pulling the levers of a weak state.

Wait what

Uh isn’t the fraud when you file *too many* claims? Since under the ACA any federal subsidies go not to states or individuals but to private insurance companies… any fraud must have been committed by his (cough) campaign donors.

Honored that my article (Interring the Unitary Executive) was cited in Justice Sotomayor’s dissent in Trump v. Slaughter:

Judicial gaslighting: Gorsuch: congress needs to speak more clearly Alito: congress needs not to speak

I've just posted a new (fairly short!) paper on unitary executive theory's impoverished theory of democratic accountability. Give it a read -- I'd love to hear any thoughts! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Dipping my toes into the “f-word” debate is always hairy business. But if one reason why it’s not f-word is that there hasn’t yet been a f-word consolidation of power…. SCOTUS isn’t *not* helping it along.

I will once again remind folks that a very sizable chunk of what looks like Congress not doing anything to push back against the president is in fact a consequence of the Court disabling/destroying all the ways Congress has tried to push back.

Really tired of Vance talking about saving Ohio from “vermin.” Here is the state’s GOP governor:

Obviously we wouldn’t want the FTC to appear independent because then CEOs wouldn’t know that they can bribe Trump admin officials.

In the event you were disappointed that your higher electric bill didn’t do more to subsidize big tech, get ready to pay more for euro products. So you can help the poor things dodge taxes.

I’m sending out a bat signal - best books/articles about the economics, regulation, or politics of AI. I’ve read Hao’s Empire of AI and (indirectly related) Slobodian’s Muskism. I also follow Ed Zitron. You have my eternal gratitude!

I was on a Zoom call with advocates from Springfield and elsewhere in Ohio yesterday afternoon, and it’s absolutely horrifying and inexcusable what this administration is doing to this community and the lie that Sam Alito told to OK this.

Pete Buttigieg said on Friday that he and his husband were kept away from their 4-year-old twins after an anonymous report falsely accused Buttigieg of posing a threat to their children. The separation lasted for 24 hours, he said.

I have a law degree from Yale. I wrote a bestselling memoir about the American working class. I have come to help struggling small businesses. This is JD For You.
