How Trump Has Undermined U.S. Climate Policy President Trump has quickly transformed America’s approach to the environment, withholding funds and stretching the limits of presidential power.

In a few short weeks, President Trump has severely damaged the government’s ability to fight climate change, upending American environmental policy with moves that could have lasting implications for the country, and the planet.

Massive encroachment by Bezos into The Washington Post’s opinion section - makes clear dissenting views will not be published

I still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side I will be quitting immediately and letting you know

The Lawfare Podcast: Lidsky and Koningisor on First Amendment Disequilibrium Why is the press at a First Amendment disadvantage?

On today's Lawfare Podcast, Matthew Gluck talked to @ckoningisor.bsky.social and Lyrissa Lidsky about the current state of First Amd jurisprudence, how the press used to be stronger, how the authors think our current First Amd architecture should change, and more.

And it’s a wrap! A huge thank you to @ckoningisor.bsky.social for ending our semester on a high with a scintillating talk on her forthcoming paper on “First Amendment Disequilibrium”, co-authored with Lyrissa Lidsky.
