Judge Kai N. Scott went a step further and compared her and her colleagues on the bench squaring off with the Justice Department in a manner similar to Heracles’ confrontation with Hydra, the serpentlike monster that grew two heads every time one was chopped off.

"The Professor Is in," is my attempt to step back from the news cycle and teach a bit of economics. This week: AI and the labor market. There's always more to say, but hopefully it lays out the key issues

Remember Project 2025? The radical plan to destroy our democracy & replace it with a right-wing unitary executive that Trump managed to complete MORE THAN HALF OF in just his first year in office?

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
Gorgeous! Good Shabbos.

MOTION TO DISMISS PURSUANT TO FED. R. CRIM P. 48 The United States, by and through its attorney ANDREW S. BOUTROS, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, respectfully moves, pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 48(a), that the information filed against defendant ERIK MEIER in the above-captioned case on October 6, 2025, be dismissed.
JUST IN: Federal prosecutors in Chicago move to dismiss charges against another defendant tied to Operation Midway Blitz.
Erik Meier faced trial 3/9 for resisting a federal officer. Once the motion is granted, he will be the 16th of 32 known defendants cleared.
No known convictions.
EXCLUSIVE: Previously unreported remarks from the Civil Rights Division AAG, @HarmeetKDhillon run directly counter to what the President said recently, Congressional Republicans’ SAVE Act, and the conduct of her own office.

MINUTE ORDER. The Court thanks all counsel of record for their substantial efforts to date, efforts that have amply aided its work. The Court highlights AUSA Dhruman Y. Sampat. His work has been, in a word, exemplary. In a few more, it has been in the very best tradition of AUSAs. Over a two-day motions hearing, he exhibited mastery of an intricate statutory regime; three complex doctrinal areas; and a 1,550-page administrative record. And, even with the Court lobbing endless questions at him, he did so with good humor throughout. The Court has not before docketed this type of judicial shout-out, but Mr. Sampat's effort demands no less. Signed by Judge Ana C. Reyes on 2/3/2026. (lcacr2)
In the case where Judge Ana Reyes accused Noem of pounding X (fka Twitter), today she shouts out the line prosecutor for "mastery of an intricate statutory regime; 3 complex doctrinal areas; & a 1,550p admin record ... w/good humor throughout."
Assume this poor dude will be axed for competence ASAP
