8 states file antitrust complaint against NXST/TGNA. https://t.co/ezHdcMNmdr Interesting complaint in that it goes after retrans and degredation of local news coverage as a consumer welfare/loss of competing product issue. /1
UK urged to ban crypto donations as the US and others seek influence https://t.co/7ey4RiEnCE via @irinaanghel12 https://t.co/N0BVv0WtWm
Yet another account that does not know the law. Pills for terminations cannot be obtained from the NHS after 10 weeks gestation. The vanishingly small number of cases of drug-induced late termination involved pills illegally obtained from a foreign online...
Jury sides with speech. Afroman prevails in defamation trial over songs about police raid on his home https://t.co/MDfdzmbKXS
OK, I am bored with this lie now. Here are the facts. - Abortion remains illegal after 24 weeks gestation except in certain rare and exceptional circumstances - Supplying pills to terminate a pregnancy remains illegal after 10 weeks gestation -...
Don't give up decision-making authority in contracts, even if you're not a tech expert. The crucial decisions aren't technological, they're business-focused. Keep control. #BusinessTips #ContractLaw https://t.co/erLsjqASnV
California Attorney General Rob Bonta Files Lawsuit Seeking to Block $6.2 Billion Nexstar/Tegna Broadcasting Merger. Other states part of suit include NY, VA, CO, IL, CT and OR. https://t.co/yZIDbjQZLK
That's wild. 3+ months and still waiting for VAT ID. Is this normal in Germany? 😳
I run a law firm that provides fractional general counsel services and business law support (commercial transactions, employment, privacy, tax, etc.) (Margolis PLLC). I also run a legal ops consulting and staffing company (PointTwo).
Pam Bondi is now facing a subpoena AND articles of impeachment—and those are not the same. A subpoena carries legal force: testimony under oath, penalty of perjury, and potential criminal contempt if ignored. We’ve seen it before—Steve Bannon went to...
this is actually a reasonable theory. Meta has some of the craftiest legal minds on their end. And there is an even more interesting twist in how they avoided the courtroom defeats of Google.
Employers can punish you for your off-duty speech. That’s the reality. But when that speech is about human rights—about genocide—that shouldn’t be allowed. That’s not politics. That’s conscience. A law that claims to protect human rights but fails to protect the voices defending...
I left Kirkland in 2022 to launch my own firm. Who’s laughing now? If you said “they are, Eric,” congratulations, you’d be correct.
We are all critical of the ATA, but having the organization endorse this law is very important. The ATA is a very important lobbyist group that has an outsized influence on Congress. They are on the right side of history...
Dalilah’s law is a massive pivot from the FMCSA rule. It would mandate that current non-domiciled CDLs are banned 1 year out from the enactment date. The FMCSA offered 5 years. If this passes, go long truckload.
Taiwan securities law requires every listed company to publish monthly revenue by the 10th. That's TSMC, Hon Hai, Wiwynn, Gigabyte, Cooler Master — the entire AI supply chain. Before earnings. Before analyst upgrades. This is the playbook: https://t.co/1zQE3ozz4M
Nobody told me how much anxiety would leave me once we got our estate plan in order and our wills signed. This might be a temporary feeling, but I’ll take it! Knowing things are in order in the event of...
Not only will Dalilah's law permanently eliminate non-domiciled CDLs, it will also restrict foreign dispatchers and freight brokers https://t.co/zQYNP3Ja4g
I posted on TikTok about the Heppner case and how Attorney-Client privilege doesn’t extend to what the client does, on their own, with ChatGPT or Claude (per ruling in case)…AND
Sorry that my overview of Bill C-22 (Lawful Access Act, 2026) was 40+ minutes long. The second half, starting here, is what I think Canadians should understand. The open internet should not be deputized to collect more information for cops...
Excited to be quoted in this Fast Company article on AI & digital resurrection. The legal problem isn’t just the tech—it’s that existing contracts & doctrines weren’t built for a world where identity can be replicated indefinitely https://www.fastcompany.com/91500169/ai-digital-resurrection-actors-deepfakes?fbclid=IwZnRzaAQn_6xmZGlkFlAytLRTttuVO_GJmkr_NRhIV3ISA_BleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEeSLbMV2HLT9ucc9r7IyaXGVaZRNfHz0Wz9kOuJzYPyeSoxipZubKs8W10uik_aem_xM7kmfiU0B8c07sWBR03rg
They clearly didn’t read the same report I did The report said the government now has no preference, having prior had the preference of a copyright exception with opt-out That could just as well mean we see a copyright exception with no...
"We will also fully digitalise insolvency procedures and introduce a fast-track insolvency process for startups." You couldn't make it up....
A new company you've probably never heard of is dominating the No Surprises Act's arbitration process. Behind HaloMD is a larger-than-life Texas couple who built their wealth on questionable arrangements with out-of-network providers. https://t.co/p1jCEZFBaA via @statnews
So is MarkWayne Mullins a stolen valor case or what’s the deal? Like he didn’t SAY he served, but he likes to hint he’s seen combat (he hasn’t). Where is the line here?
NEW: The Republican National Committee, Republican Party of Virginia, and Virginia voters filed a lawsuit in state court challenging the legislature’s authority to alter the 2021 congressional map approved by the state’s supreme court. https://www.democracydocket.com/cases/virginia-congressional-redistricting-challenge-rnc-ii/
A sophisticated procurement group gave ultimate decision-making authority to a Big 4 system integrator, even before hiring them. This contractual term set a surprising precedent. #BusinessDeals #Procurement https://t.co/hfuilGy1cC
glad to see Apple using account age as verification for the UK’s Online Safety Act in iOS 26.4. This is how you do it 👍 https://t.co/XghbR7Oi4w
Now announcing the BASED Act at YC with State Senator Scott Wiener We need open platforms and open markets. We need markets that are fair for all founders. We are not asking for a leg up. We are asking for a...
It’s because they had a monopoly. If only competition authorities had stepped in when they first wanted to
"We're not the (look-for-)securities-in-everything-commission anymore." SEC Chair Atkins said this yesterday. If you've built through the Gensler years you know how insane that sounds. Years of the SEC basically regulating through lawsuits instead of giving anyone clear rules and now they're...
This is a reasonable policy move by Trump, but it would be an *AWESOME* policy move if the Jones Act is waived/eliminated permanently.
If you are vibe-coding apps for the healthcare sector I beg you - pay a deeply experienced technologist to audit it before anyone uses it. hipaa laws are no joke. I’ve personally been through the compliance audits, defending our encryption...
And there it is folks. The moment Jones Act haters have been waiting for… https://t.co/BZQNHrjdj5

Trump just waived the Jones Act for 60 days. Shipping interests say it won’t help
Trump troll Matt Gertz, senior fellow at the hard left Media Matters for America @mmfa: “Any broadcaster now has to question if anything they put out could end up getting them in a heap of legal trouble with the @FCC.”...
Policyband Quote of the Day: “@BrendanCarrFCC critics pretend he said something radical. However, the Communications Act in Section 309(a) has long required broadcasters that use public spectrum to operate in the ‘public interest.’ That principle is the foundation of...
The SEC (The US Federal Agency that regulates securities markets) recently released its most important crypto guidance along with the CFTC (The US federal agency that regulates commodity and derivatives markets). For the first time, the US government has formally...
NEW: SEC introduces five-category crypto framework with CFTC, says most crypto assets are not securities, only digital securities fall under its remit, some may still qualify as investment contracts, with more rules coming https://t.co/QodcXBpZk2
Some FEW FACTS to note: 1. In about 60 days, Constitution Amendment (No. 3) Bill will be availed for a vote in Parliament. 2. No referendum will be held, & no referendum is required by law. 3. You have the chance to...
Everyone is watching the Fed today. They should be watching the SEC. Yesterday, Chair Paul Atkins officially declared that most crypto assets are not securities — and proposed safe harbor exemptions that would let crypto startups raise capital legally in...
Many celebrate certain crypto assets getting classified as non-securities. If you look at those assets, they are clearly securities, sold as such and are designed only to enrich insiders. We need better securities laws and more fair and accessible markets, not exemptions.
AI Governance Trends 2026 From guidance to enforcement: • EU AI Act → enforcement begins • Agentic AI → governance gap • ISO 42001 → required in procurement • US → patchwork enforcement Governance is now operational readiness. https://t.co/3HljzCodIc via @DioOmega @quepasachico #AIGovernance #AgenticAI #AILaw #ISO42001
Goldman > While not our base case, we would not rule out US export restrictions. If implemented, they appear more likely for refined products than for crude oil.
We have seen a lot of support for the Zimbabwe Constitution Amendment (No. 3) Bill… We have seen folks like @LynneStactia, @mawarirej, & @freemanchari mobilising against this BEAUTIFUL bill…. That’s the democracy that @ZANUPF_Official ushered. Participate freely, give your views freely…. What we...
