Huge congratulations to the organizers and, especially, the many many many people who attended their first ever protest.

I’m in.

Incredible work being done by the press to keep facts building on facts. Grateful. This entire WSJ report overnight starting with this lede on how White House orders sparked LA crackdown is both chilling and informative. /1

I’m sorry, what??? www.cnn.com/2025/06/09/m...

An investigation should be immediately opened into the LAPD officer on the far left. Watch the video and you’ll see why.

Every reference to these guys should note that several remain adjudged terrorists. Even Trump didn’t disrupt that ruling from a Trump appointed judge.

Taking away life-saving medication from millions of the world's poorest children, with no notice, is one of the most monstrous things our government could do. Never forget it.

Yellow just unsealed in a Court motion leading to Google must finally turn over its "Project Monday" and "Project Tuesday" analysis. The motion supports that Google's analysis is important to evaluating feasibility of the remedies to unlock competition now and into the future.

This report is shocking to read Facebook+Instagram could be doing this while Meta defends itself of allegations related to privacy in antitrust trials in DC and CA, FTC consent decrees in billions and FTC show cause order to stop surveilling minors. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

"ProPublica obtained the code and the contracts it flagged from a source and shared them with a half dozen AI and procurement experts. All said the script was flawed. Many criticized the concept of using AI to guide budgetary cuts at the VA, with one calling it 'deeply problematic.'"

Amazing. Respect the lede.

Good to see the advertising in the print edition of @theonion.com is strong, @bencollins.bsky.social!

!!!. Apple's Emergency Motion is DENIED. Great news for all developers and DCN members.

Lunch break. 11:16am 5/30 at USvGoogle closing arguments, I was reminded Judge Mehta strongly understand the underpinnings of Google’s market power and abuse of it. He brought the case back to query and click data from search breaking down into head, torso and tail queries. /1

Confession. Having watched Scott Pelley's outstanding work over nearly three decades, I almost didn't take the time to watch his W.F. commencement speech thinking the news reports told me enough of the facts. Frankly, that would have been a huge mistake on my part. Huge. 1/5

are the DOGE guys awake yet? asking for a friend.

"The tech sector is aware that AI emissions put its climate commitments in danger. Both Microsoft and Google no longer seem to be meeting their net zero targets. So far, however, no Big Tech company has agreed to use the methodology to test its own AI models." - @sashamtl.bsky.social

Wow. Law firm Paul Weiss just lost the top attorneys representing Google in its adtech antitrust case just as remedies are getting underway. The firm’s major fallout from doing the first deal with Trump. And likely means losing at least one very important client. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A lot of noise in FTC v Meta so thought I might try to simplify a few things. We're down to wire with FTC's key expert, Scott Hemphill, rebuttal on Tue 5/27. IMHO, entire case going in/out anchored on two questions: (1) does Facebook have monopoly power in the relevant market /1
