Merrill College students know their rights as journalists.
"Cat Murphy is a master's student at the University of Maryland, credentialed as a reporter for our Capital News Service and doing the job we teach our students to do. Cat recorded openly in a public space alongside other news outlets, and that is her legal right," Dean Rafael Lorente (@DeanLorente) said. "I'm proud of how she handled herself in a difficult situation."
With all due respect to the author, there’s a reason I’m reading his ideas in the NYT and not listening to them in the town square…

POLITICO will continue to fairly report on this White House and future ones. We will vigorously defend our First Amendment rights against any attempt to restrict them.
The claims that POLITICO received government subsidies are false and have been thoroughly debunked.
Breaking: Trump says he will ban reporters from POLITICO, CNN and MS NOW from the White House.

Raimondo on AI: 'You're not going to beat China if you have destabilizing unemployment' dlvr.it/TVW67C
Former Commerce Secretary @GinaRaimondo led many of President Biden's AI safety initiatives. What would she advise President Trump to do in this moment of AI backlash?
She told me at today's @POLITICOLive Decoded Summit 👇
At today's @POLITICOLive Decoded Summit, I asked @GinaRaimondo & Eric Holcomb from @raiseus_ai whether Trump's idea for the government to take an equity stake in AI is a solution to concerns about the technology's economic impact.
"No one has a dictionary anymore, but if you did, you'd look up what's the definition of socialism. 'Government owning the means of production.' It doesn't really work, so I'm not going there."

The U.S. will lose the AI race if companies allow the tech to upend the American economy, former Biden Commerce Secretary @GinaRaimondo said.
“You’re not going to beat China if you have destabilizing unemployment,” she told our @StevenOverly at @POLITICOLive's Decoded Summit.👇
Why are AI leaders now calling to slow development?
Will DC actually regulate after dragging its feet?
How will this impact the U.S. position in the global AI race?
We’ll tackle all of the above at next week’s @POLITICOLive Decoded Summit.
Join us: politico.com/events/2026/09/…

Major news on the kids online safety front today…
Meta agrees to pay $17B, adopt kids’ safety features to resolve states’ lawsuits dlvr.it/TVB8CF
“By resolving the case, the company avoids the possibility of an even more damaging result had the jury found it liable for mental health harms that young users claimed they suffered from excessive use of Meta products. It allows CEO Mark Zuckerberg to avoid testifying and cuts short attorneys’ questioning of Instagram head Adam Mosseri, which began Tuesday.”
We knew it would happen eventually, but it doesn't hurt any less. An American icon. RIP.
