Americans are tired of being told their needs are unrealistic by politicians who have been bought by the wealthiest people in the country.

Google is trying to use its monopoly power to force AI into our public schools.
No corporation should have the power to dictate how we teach our children.
Our public schools exist to serve students, not to grow the profit margins of Big Tech.

Google is using its search monopoly to coerce schools into adopting AI. This highlights the danger of allowing an unregulated monopolist to control an essential service.
Multiple courts have found Google liable for violating antitrust laws, and this latest move shows it remains unchastened.
As the public increasingly pushes back against the use of AI in schools, Google is making clear it will punish those who don’t fall in line.
Breaking: Google will turn off web search for schools that opt out of A.I. for kids.

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work.
My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

New uNILateral Decisions: @mwalsh88, @Joe_Nickell, and I discuss Ohio governor Mike DeWine's executive order granting all Ohio Class of 2022 athletes immediate eligibility.
Can he do that? Should other governors do the same?

This week's uNILateral Decisions: @mwalsh88, @Joe_Nickell, and I sat down with @gregchickphd of @NILnomics to dig into some of the biggest economic and financial questions in college sports.
This was a great episode. Thanks so much to Greg for joining us! youtube.com/watch?v=2i53lygj…

Lina Khan on AI: "These are individuals that have become used to a certain level of impunity, elite impunity that I think we've talked about in the past as being a broader cultural, social phenomena that results when we're not holding the rich and the powerful to the same rules and the same standards that we do to everybody else.
I think there are a lot of magazine profiles and other assessments looking at what these individuals as a personal matter and their character. I think to me, some of that is a little bit less interesting than this basic question of: Who is deciding in the first instance what trajectory these technologies take?
And whenever you have a tiny number of elites getting to call the shots around this potentially transformational technology, that is gonna be dangerous even if you have the most benevolent, well-meaning people in the driver's seat. It really comes down to the concentration of power."

Son: Hey Dad, was music really better when you were younger?
Me: Son, we had an entire generation growing up with music so good that 50 years later, we're still turning up the volume when it comes on.
Here, let me show you what I mean.

NEW: Urban Meyer admits he "misfired" about the impact of NIL and the transfer portal on College Football:
"I thought the rich would get richer. What it’s done is make parity in college football. I’ve talked to many of my colleagues in the last couple weeks. You flip on UCLA and then you flip on Alabama, what’s the difference? I don’t know. One team runs the ball a little better, and that’s UCLA. It’s amazing what has really happened to the game of college football with the NIL and with the transfer portal."

Huge day today for five-for-five eligibility rule litigation: it's oral argument day at the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals for the class action lawsuit, Wisne v. NCAA.
You can watch here -- it starts at 9 AM MT (11 AM ET): youtube.com/watch?v=sMrRevie…

Sports economist David Berri @wagesofwins explains in @TheSlingOrg how 77 U.S. Senators were duped into voting for the Protect College Sports Act. With luck and more attention to its defects, the measure will fail to pass the House.
Berri provides six facts about the economics of college sports that the Act's proponents (hello @tedcruz) either don't understand or intentionally ignore.
Here's a preview, containing my favorite line.

New uNILateral Decisions: @Joe_Nickell, @mwalsh88, and I discuss why the NCAA bylaws' exclusion of the Class of 2022 Transition Rule is such a big deal (albeit before Friday's two appeal decisions).
I also discuss why I think the PCSA is unconstitutional. youtube.com/watch?v=1NIC9MG7…

Terrific to see @NYCMayor's "click to cancel" rule go into effect today.
Trapping customers in subscriptions is against the law.
Businesses must make it as easy to cancel as it is to sign up.
New Yorkers can report subscription traps here: nyc.gov/main/click-to-cancel
Nobody should be stuck paying for a subscription they don’t want because of how absurdly difficult firms make it to cancel.
I’m thrilled that @nycmayor is carrying forward a “click to cancel” rule to protect NYC from this misconduct.
More cities and states should follow suit.

Just heard an analyst commenting on NPR that Trump is pursuing extremely unpopular positions--the war in Iran, tariffs, opposition to AI regulation, support for data centers, tax cuts for the wealthy, mass deportation, or healthcare cuts. It's as if our election design, which perversely awards candidates who fundraise from and cater to the needs of oligarchs, fails to deliver leaders who can express the popular will.

Absolutely brilliant ride from Brandon McNulty to win the 2026 UCI Men's World Championship road race (1st US win since 1993). Also enormous respect to Matteo Jorgenson and Quinn Simmons for so deftly policing the chase behind. USA cycling masterclass today. #Montreal2026

EXCLUSIVE: Ahead of Senate's expected passage of the Protect College Sports Act, former @ChrisMurphyCT aide Peter Mills tells @Sportico why Dems failed to mount a bulwark against bill—tracing it to 2020 unraveling between Murphy, Booker and Blumenthal.👇

One thing to keep in mind about Herb Hovenkamp and his assertions and obfuscations about antitrust
