This isn't a case of abusing some loophole or misusing discretionary authority. The law is unambiguous and he's breaking it, simple as that. If Congress isn't going to do anything about breaking the law that already exists, passing another law to make it double-illegal accomplishes nothing.

Does this latest hack really expose “growing risks in automated cyber threats” or is it just another example of poor security practices at OpenAI? www.wired.com/story/openai...

OpenAI’s Hacking Debacle Comes Down to Human Error
If the generative AI giant had followed well-known security best practices, it’s likely that its AI agent would never have escaped to the open internet and hacked multiple companies.

News outlets that covered the US-Saudi nuclear deal without mentioning that Jared Kushner, Trump’s top foreign policy advisor, is getting paid by the Saudi government: WSJ NYT AP Reuters CNN NBC ABC CBS The Guardian Semafor Washington Post Fox News New York Post BBC Newsweek MS NOW
popular.info
A nuclear deal for the Saudis. A media blackout for Kushner’s corruption.
On Wednesday, the Trump administration signed a 30-year nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that paves the way for the kingdom to enrich its own uranium.

Again, we simply are not seeing the same scope, scale, or tone of “this is an epic failure that we will cover in a way that will end this presidency” approach that the national media took to covering Joe Biden’s not-100%-surgically-clean implementation of the thing everyone said they wanted in 🇦🇫

We all think this was great: A reporter finally pushing back. Trump flailing and quitting. A clear picture of a corrupt and weak leader for all to see. But if you watch to the end, it's clear Welker viewed it as a failure because she angered her subject, may lose access and embarrassed the network.

The DOJ’s job is to represent the United States, not to send Trump’s opponents “enough is enough” letters after a crisis. Courts decide legal disputes. Plaintiffs do not lose their rights because the president wants a construction project finished.

Officials at an Omaha-area high school ordered the student newspaper to remove this editorial cartoon criticizing ICE, then demanded prior review of articles about their censorship. Via @splc.org, which is advocating for the students: splc.org/2026/03/nebr...
Cartoon depicting a "history" factory, with the quote: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" from George Santayana. A student thinks: "Why does this look familiar?" while thinking about the Palmer Raids and Japanese-American Incarcerations, and the cogs of "Bureaucracy" and "Loopholes" stand next to an "ICE" conveyor belt with "Unidentified Agents," "Detentions Without Charge," "Militarized PResence," and "Limited Transparency" on the assembly line. Beneath the conveyor belt, spilled water from a pipe, labeled: "the cracks are showing", and a graph showing "public trust" in the red.

There are no solutions you can enact without a veto-proof majority. Your job will be to thwart, delay, investigate, provide oversight, expose, cut funding when possible, and impeach when necessary. Which will be often. Trump is historically unpopular. Anti-Trump is fine.
