FBI Budget
By Chris Edwards
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is in the news with the release of the Durham report and this week’s testimony in the House about the agency’s politicized leadership. In response to the FBI’s recent failures, many columnists and policymakers have called for either reforms, funding cuts, or agency dismantling.
The FBI has an annual budget of more than $11 billion and a workforce of 37,000 spread across headquarters, 56 field offices, 350 satellite offices, and dozens of foreign offices.
The chart shows that real FBI spending almost doubled from $5.25 billion 2000 to $10.44 billion in 2011 and has since trended slowly upwards reaching $11.4 billion in 2023.

The ACLU has been helping victims of the Kansas Highway Patrol hold the agency (and its troopers) accountable for their actions. Multiple lawsuits have been filed targeting the “Kansas two-step” performed by troopers. After delivering citations or otherwise making it clear drivers are free to go, the troopers take a step back to the car to start asking exploratory questions or otherwise drag things out until a drug dog arrives.
Unless an officer has probable cause to extend a stop, they can’t. That much was made clear in the Supreme Court’s 2015 Rodriguez decision, which said a traffic stop is over when the objective has been completed. If someone was speeding, it’s over when

Our long national wait for how the Supreme Court would rule regarding Section 230 is over, and the answer is… we need to keep waiting. The headlines note, correctly, that the court punted the matter. But there are other elements of the actual rulings that are kind of interesting and could bode well for the future of the internet and Section 230.
As you’ll likely recall, back in October, the Supreme Court surprised a lot of people by taking two sorta related cases regarding the liability of social media sites, Gonzalez v. Google, and Twitter v. Taamneh. Even though both cases were ruled on by the 9th Circuit in the same opinion, and had nearly identical fact patterns (terrorists did an attack

The EU Parliament is looking to regulate AI. That, in itself, isn’t necessarily a bad idea. But the EU’s proposal — the AI Act — is pretty much bad all over, given that it’s vague, broad, and would allow pretty much any citizen of any EU nation to wield the government’s power to shut down services they personally don’t care for.
But let’s start with the positive aspects of the proposal. The EU does want to take steps to protect citizens from the sort of AI law enfo
