RIP, @randypicker: for almost 40 years, he taught @UChicagoLaw in subjects as varied as bankruptcy and antitrust. He generously asked me to guest-lecture in his “Platforms and Networks” class in 2022; I learned the most from all the exchanges. A kind, thoughtful, brilliant man.

FIFA's Appeal Committee rejected Belgium's appeal against the one-year suspension of Folarin Balogun's match ban, ruling the request inadmissible on the grounds that Belgium is not a party to the proceedings and has no standing to appeal.

I am pleased to announce the nomination of Whitney Hermandorfer to serve as a Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Whitney has been serving the Great People of Tennessee, in the Attorney General’s Office, where she has strongly litigated in Court to protect Citizens from Federal Government Overreach. A former Co-Captain of the Princeton University Women’s Basketball Team, Whitney is a staunch defender of Girls’ and Women’s Sports. She has a long history of working for Judges and Justices who respect the RULE OF LAW, and protect our Constitution, including Justice Samuel Alito and two fine Supreme Court Justices I appointed in my First Term. Whitney is a Fighter who will inspire confidence in our Legal System. Thank you Whitney!

I enjoyed speaking to the New York City Federalist Society last night about the difference that leadership can make in a state. Here’s to hoping that the once great New York state can soon return to common sense and good governance.

If true, this report is deeply concerning. FEMA’s mission is to provide aid to Americans in need, irrespective of political beliefs. The idea that a supervisor would instruct workers to bypass homes based on signs of political affiliation threatens the very trust we place in our public institutions. At a time when divisions already run deep, Americans deserve to know that their access to disaster relief is unbiased and grounded in fairness. Anything less risks further eroding confidence in the essential services we all depend on in times of crisis.

Attorney refutes Iranian dissident who expressed concern about recent American trend of trying to punish lawyers for giving advice to politically unpopular clients by threatening to have her punished for expressing that opinion.

“ A Ruling for the state would create an untenable choice for Smith if she wishes to speak, she must either speak as a state demands or face sanctions for expressing her own beliefs….”
LANDMARK SCOTUS VICTORY: Today the Supreme Court strongly reaffirmed free speech in our case, 303 Creative v. Elenis, ruling 6-3 that govt may not compel Americans to express messages they don't believe.
More than just a win for Lorie Smith, this is a sweeping #freespeech victory for EVERY American.

I refer to my #1 rule of finance, which is that anyone who actually knows anything trades rather than blabs.
"Do not go to law school. The legal field is in big trouble. That's going to be one of the first disrupted by AI," says @GeoffLewisOrg. "I talk to folks who spend thousands of dollars a week on legal bills, they're already using ChatGPT to generate complex contracts."
