What US Lawsuits Reveal About Platform Design That DSA Reports Don’t EU risk assessments and platform litigation in the US represent distinct approaches to governing and mitigating risks posed by social media platforms.

Through the EU's DSA and US litigation, new evidence is emerging about how social media platforms understand and address risks to minors. Peter Chapman and Matt Steinberg analyze what these parallel processes uncover about how platforms assess risk and design.

Trump begins his Iran war facing a steep uphill climb on public opinion.

Per UMD poll this month, just 21% of US adults said they support a US attack on Iran. That’s 6% of Democrats, 21% of independents and 40% of Republicans. Also of note: plenty of undecideds.

White supremacist and pardoned J6er Jake Lang was arrested today at a Washington DC rally for threats against MPD Commander Jason Bagshaw he made on January 6th, 2026.

Here's a short clip of the threats I documented him making that day.

Everything is insider trading is probably more accurate.

Diplomacy Shifts to War: How Trump’s Team Decided to Attack Iran Donald Trump was done negotiating.

This is how President Trump's team decided to attack Iran, as diplomacy around pressuring the country's rulers to give up their nuclear and long-range missile programs shifted to war

Iranians on Khamenei’s Death: Mourning on State TV, Public Joy Millions of Iranians have lived their entire lives under the thumb of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of Iran. When reports of his demise began to trickle in, the response in the streets of Tehran was jubilation. The reaction by the authorities was denial, then mourning.

Opinion | There is no reason to think this war with Iran is necessary Trump criticized the Iraq War. Now he’s making the same mistakes.

JD Vance said there is “no chance” the US would be drawn into a lengthy war. But isn’t that what Bush thought before Iraq & LBJ before Vietnam? Wars are risky & unpredictable.The US should engage in them only if it absolutely has to. There is no reason to think this war is necessary. wapo.st/4seF5K1

This is really shitty behavior and people shouldn’t do it. I am aware of bad things happening and they’re happening because of Israel and the US and the way that has contributed to antisemitism. It was sort of the point of the post but doing this does in fact diminish antisemitism!

Has been a very bad few years for the Jews and I don’t like it!

Cringe or not, whether decided from principles or cold calculation, this was an action that matters and deserves positive reinforcement so that others might follow

Bravo Dario Amodei! This is outside the SF office of Anthropic. With ICE Nazis literally murdering US citizens, I don't think people understand the courage and moral clarity it takes to say no to a pedophile führer and his fascist authoritarian regime. 🙌🙏

U.S., Israel worked for months on Iran strikes with ‘unprecedented cooperation,’ IDF chief of staff says Netanyahu: Strikes likely killed Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei; attacks were Israeli Air Force’s largest flyover in history

The U.S. and Israeli militaries planned attacks on Iran for months, marking “unprecedented cooperation,” said the IDF’s chief of staff, hours after the launch of what Israel has called Operation Roaring Lion and the U.S. has called Operation Epic Fury.

An IDF official said the 2 militaries “worked for thousands of hours” to increase its target bank “by hundreds of percent.”

the world has never been less safe, it makes you feel crazy watching people
cheer on war and destruction and destablization for profit and land. one day it will end

Remember when serious and sober voices assured us that Bari Weiss was not, in fact, an incompetent partisan clown?

But the lessons that ought to have followed the election—lessons about the importance of understanding other Americans, the necessity of resisting tribalism, and the centrality of the free exchange of ideas to a democratic society—have not been learned. Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn’t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else. Twitter is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor. As the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper, the paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance space. Stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences, rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions. I was always taught that journalists were charged with writing the first rough draft of history. Now, history itself is one more ephemeral thing molded to fit the needs of a predetermined narrative.

Weiss has critiqued traditional media for its biases - most famously in her resignation letter from the Times - so it seems reasonable to ask how her views are shaping CBS (and potentially CNN) or is "history itself is one more ephemeral thing molded to fit the needs of a predetermined narrative"?

If you are an elected official that opposes military strikes on Iran, the head of CBS News will clap back at you. Will be interesting to see if she does this for other objectors, or just Muslim politicians, but it does raise the question how much her views of the Middle East shape the news.

What is Congress?

Does Congress still matter?

Do we care about the Constitution of the United States?

One truth remains:

Wars are easy to begin and very difficult to end.

Longer conflict gets institutionalized by both sides of the conflict - resulting in financial gains, which then keep wars ongoing.

I would like to encourage you to remove the emotions (I understand how hard this is) and ask - does the law still matter?

It cannot matter in one case, but not the other. Rules can’t apply to some and not to others.

Does it still matter? And what is that law? Is it universal or to each their own?
