New @scalinglaws.bsky.social episode: @noupside.bsky.social and I talk to @dgrand.bsky.social about his research showing AI chatbots can shift people's political beliefs. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/scal...

As one of many submitting an AI focused law review article, I’m biased…But editors’ reluctance to accept too many articles on one topic shouldn’t apply to AI, which is going to fundamentally challenge innumerable areas of law, meaning now is the time we should be studying this.

The Washington Post—for which I wrote editorials for nearly a decade—has closed its Kyiv bureau. @lawfaremedia.org has not—and we will not. We now employ more people in Kyiv than the Washington Post. Let me tell you about what we have done in Ukraine over the past year and why we are not leaving

For a different perspective, see @kevintfrazier.bsky.social and my papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.....

On Rational Security, @sranderson.bsky.social, @alanrozenshtein.com, @ericcolumbus.bsky.social, and @mollyroberts.bsky.social discussed the week’s big national security news stories, including the federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota and Anthropic's AI "constitution." youtu.be/CQJdLg2s5Wo

I don't write about politics, but as a Minnesotan, I endorse this message from @chkbal.bsky.social 100%. Conditions here are grim, folks. Whatever your views on immigration policy, what ICE & CPB are doing to this community is unAmerican. They need to stop.

As someone who (proudly) signed on to the letter, this is extremely misleading. (1) The letter is this Google doc—it was not written for the LPE Project, nor was having LPE Project (or any other publication) publish it discussed as part of the organizing. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Standing with 65 of my UMN Law colleagues (and counting) to condemn ICE’s lawless conduct towards Minnesotans: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Today's Lawfare Daily is a @scalinglaws.bsky.social ep where Jakub Kraus spoke to @alanrozenshtein.com and @kevintfrazier.bsky.social about about Anthropic's newly released "constitution" for its AI model, Claude and whether an AI model might ever be a conscious being. youtu.be/1WxXJZUjj_o

***Rapid Response Alert*** @anthropic.com released Claude's Constitution and ignited a conversation abt governance, training, & consciousness. Naturally, @scalinglaws.bsky.social got together. Jakub Kraus hosted this episode w/ @alanrozenshtein.com & me. shows.acast.com/arbiters-of-...

"The governance structure matters, but the more ambitious project is what that structure supports: Anthropic is trying to build a person, and they have a remarkably sophisticated account of what kind of person that should be." @alanrozenshtein.com explores what "Claude's Constitution" is.

@anthropic.com just published a 20,000-word "Constitution" for Claude. But it's less a governance doc than a character bible: a comprehensive moral philosophy for raising an AI to be a good person. My latest for @lawfaremedia.org. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Biggest example of TACO yet?

One of the (many) frustrations about the TikTok "deal" is that, because its details likely won't be made public, we won't know if it actually satisfies the law. And because of who Trump is, we can't trust his certification to Congress that the divestment is valid. www.semafor.com/article/01/2...

Today's Lawfare Daily is a @scalinglaws.bsky.social ep where @alanrozenshtein.com spoke to Francis Shen about the intersection of neuroscience, AI, and criminal justice, the ethical concerns around AI, and the future of the prosecutor's office in an AI-augmented justice system. youtu.be/rKTG0OYXfj0

Today's Lawfare Daily is @scalinglaws.bsky.social episode where @kevintfrazier.bsky.social and @alanrozenshtein.com spoke to Connecticut State Senator James Maroney and @neilchilson.bsky.social about what happened in 2025 regarding in AI policy. youtu.be/F7I5xQpb4lY

My very smart colleagues are doing excellent coverage of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis today. I would urge you to follow along with local sources familiar with the area and the residents here.

TOMORROW: On Jan. 4 at 3pm ET, Lawfare's @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org will sit down with @sranderson.bsky.social, Dana Stuster, & @atabatabai.bsky.social to discuss the what we know—and don't—about the US strike on Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro's capture, and the legal issues raised by the operation

It took less than 72 hours for 2026 to experience a collapse in the separation of powers greater than all of 2025 put together.

A lot happened in 2025–from the deployment of National Guard in cities across the country to airstrikes in the Caribbean to DOGE's incursion into executive agencies to the weaponization of the Justice Department—and we covered it all. Lawfare contributors reflect back on the year that was:

On today's episode, @alanrozenshtein.com talks to @casssunstein.bsky.social about his new book, "Imperfect Oracle: What AI Can and Cannot Do." www.amazon.com/Imperfect-Or...

On the latest episode, @alanrozenshtein.com and @noupside.bsky.social speak with @mchangama.bsky.social @princeton.edu's Jacob Shapiro about a new report examining how AI models handle contested speech. shows.acast.com/arbiters-of-...

I don't know, Aaron. I think we need to take this seriously. In fact, after surveying hundreds of years of history in the past few days, I've written an article assessing the originalist case here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

On today's rapid-response episode, @lawfaremedia.org's @kevintfrazier.bsky.social, Jakub Kraus and @alanrozenshtein.com talk about Donald Trump's executive order on preempting state AI laws and his decision to let Nvidia sell H200 chips to China. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

The story of how Xiao Wang was treated sounds really bad.

Excited that my first op-ed ever is in my local paper @startribune.com, about why Minnesota should welcome Waymo's self-driving cars. www.startribune.com/waymo-expand...

Hardly the most important part of the U.S.-China relationship, but I continue to find it interesting that TikTok conspicuously keeps going unmentioned...

The replies to this post are so depressing. Self-driving cars have the potential to save tens of thousands of lives. Minnesota should encourage this as much as possible, including by amending state law if necessary!

Time for my favorite @alanrozenshtein.com quote

For the umpteenth time, executive orders are not magic spells. They're just Truth Social posts on nicer stationary.

Beware the Omnicause. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/u...

On Lawfare Daily, @klonick.bsky.social and @alanrozenshtein.com spoke to @superwuster.bsky.social about about his new book, “The Age of Extraction," how platforms have evolved, and what he sees as the future solution set for the problems that have developed in the digital era. youtu.be/SBTOdJpaZNY

Isn't this Representative "Jewish Space Lasers"? My bingo card did not have MTG becoming the leader of the sane wing of the GOP...

On Rational Security, @sranderson.bsky.social, @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org, @alanrozenshtein.com, and @klonick.bsky.social talked through the week’s big national security news stories, including the Trump administration's airstrikes in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, and more.

It'd be great if the government loses on its insane tariffs, but if the end-result is a massive expansion of the major questions and non-delegation doctrines, that's not great in the long term...

I spoke with @ariquelmy.bsky.social (@courthousenews.bsky.social) about why California's new law that will ban ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers from wearing masks on duty likely violates the Supremacy Clause. Check out his article below! www.courthousenews.com/ice-unmasked...

If only a brilliant legal scholar had recently written a piece for @lawfaremedia.org about the courts' contempt powers... www.lawfaremedia.org/article/civi...

Harvey.AI is courting law schools like Westlaw/Lexis once did, but do we really need it? After a demo, my verdict: it's ChatGPT in a black turtleneck. Good for firms needing secure doc review & RAG, but law students can already do most of this with existing tools. matthewsag.com/do-law-schoo...

I defended the TikTok law, and the courts agreed. But I got the institutions wrong. In @lawfaremedia.org I analyze the 3 institutional betrayals that defined this sorry saga: executive non-enforcement, congressional indifference, and corporate capitulation. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/less...

Today's Lawfare Daily is a Scaling Laws ep where @alanrozenshtein.com spoke with Brett Goldstein, Brett Benson, and @noupside.bsky.social about the evolution of influence operations from crude Russian troll farms to sophisticated AI systems using large language models.

Many thanks to Toledo Law School for inviting me to give the Stranahan Lecture last week. My talk, “The Unitary Artificial Executive,” argues that AI will supercharge presidential power—expanding both what the the executive branch does and presidential control of it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUfM...

On Oct. 23, @alanrozenshtein.com gave remarks on how artificial intelligence could eliminate many of the remaining constraints on presidential power at the University of Toledo Law School’s Stranahan National Issues Forum. Read his speech: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Today's Lawfare Daily is a @scalinglaws.bsky.social where @kevintfrazier.bsky.social and @alanrozenshtein.com spoke to @scottwiener.bsky.social about the frontier AI safety bill he wrote as California sate senator that Governor Newsom signed into law earlier this month.

There a bunch of policy areas where I differ from Sen. Wiener, but I was enormously impressed by how thoughtful and substantive he is. Really great conversation.

This is just to say i have taken back everything i ever sent you in the chat and which you were likely quoting in a story Forgive me you're not a journalist so it's weird just letting you know.

I dedicate this post to the formidable @annabower.bsky.social

So here's the thing: Halligan-gate is going to be compared to that-time-Mike-Waltz-sent-war-plans-to-Jeff-Goldberg (remember that?), but this is actually an order of magnitude more batshit crazy, since Halligan DID ALL OF THIS INTENTIONALLY.
