This Day in Legal History: Birth of NixonOn January 9, 1913, Richard Milhous Nixon was born in Yorba Linda, California, a man destined to leave a complicated and indelible mark on American history. Nixon is perhaps the most paradoxical of U.S. presidents—on one hand, he created the Environmental Protection Agency, championed detente with the Soviet Union, and opened diplomatic relations with China. On the other hand, the man also gave us Watergate, wiretapping, enemies lists, and enough shady political machinations to keep conspiracy theorists busy for decades.Nixon's "greatest hits" of questionable decisions include the secret bombing of Cambodia, illegally expanding the Vietnam War while publicly claiming to wind it down, and the sabotage of peace talks to ensure his election in 1968. Let's not forget his role in orchestrating the War on Drugs, a policy whose consequences are still felt today, particularly in communities of color. And, of course, he made liberal use of “plausible deniability,” whether it was about spying on political opponents or using government resources for personal vendettas.While Nixon may have soothed the environment by founding the EPA, he simultaneously polluted the political landscape, cementing cynicism in American politics for a generation. If you're struggling to reconcile his good deeds with his transgressions, don't worry—you're not alone. Historians, politicians, and everyday Americans have been wrestling with the Nixon conundrum for decades.Was he a political genius or a paranoid megalomaniac? Probably both, in addition to being a raging narcissist and, by all accounts, a deeply unpleasant man. His favorite breakfast? Cottage cheese with ketchup – or black pepper if he was feeling spicy. On this day in legal history, we remember Richard Nixon—a … man. He would have been 112 had a blood clot not cut him down as he prepared dinner in his Park Ridge, New Jersey home in 1994. The U.S. Justice Department announced that it will not publicly release Special Counsel Jack Smith's full report on Donald Trump's handling of classified records, citing ongoing prosecutions against two Trump associates, Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira. While the report's section addressing Trump's alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election will be made public, the documents-related portion will remain accessible only to specific members of Congress responsible for oversight.Attorney General Merrick Garland confirmed that Smith completed a two-volume report on Trump, with the Justice Department stating that limited disclosure would balance public interest with protecting the legal rights of Nauta and De Oliveira. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon temporarily blocked the release of the report upon a request by the two defendants.Previously, Trump was charged with illegally retaining classified records and obstructing government efforts to retrieve them, as well as attempting to interfere with the certification of President Joe Biden's election victory. However, the department dismissed these charges after Trump's November election, adhering to its policy against prosecuting a sitting president.Despite these dismissals, prosecutors are seeking to revive the obstruction case against Nauta and De Oliveira, who have pleaded not guilty. The Justice Department emphasized that its actions comply with federal regulations requiring a final report from special counsel investigations.US Justice Dept will not publicly release all of special counsel report on TrumpPresident-elect Donald Trump has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to halt his sentencing in a New York criminal case involving hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. In a filing made public on Wednesday, his lawyers argued that further proceedings in the Manhattan state court would harm the presidency and federal government operations, citing presidential immunity.The New York appeals court recently rejected Trump's effort to delay sentencing, scheduled for Friday. His legal team has requested similar emergency relief from both the Supreme Court and New York's highest court. The Supreme Court has asked prosecutors to respond by Thursday, suggesting a swift decision is likely.Trump was convicted of falsifying business records to conceal a $130,000 payment by his former attorney Michael Cohen to Daniels before the 2016 election. He denies any wrongdoing or the alleged sexual encounter with Daniels. His sentencing judge indicated Trump would likely face an unconditional discharge, leaving a judgment of guilt on record but imposing no jail time, fines, or probation.Trump's lawyers contend the case violates principles of presidential immunity established by a Supreme Court ruling granting former presidents broad protection from prosecution for official acts. They argue this immunity applies during the transitional period between his election and inauguration. Manhattan prosecutors have vowed to respond to Trump's request, marking the latest development in a historic case that made Trump the first U.S. president to be criminally convicted.Trump asks Supreme Court to halt sentencing in New York hush money case | ReutersZwillGen, a law firm specializing in technology and privacy law, has expanded into artificial intelligence with the acquisition of Luminos.Law, a Washington, D.C.-based firm focused on AI and analytics risk. The merger adds six attorneys and data scientists to ZwillGen's team, enabling the firm to offer services in AI bias and cybersecurity testing, which are increasingly in demand amid regulatory scrutiny.ZwillGen, founded in 2010, now employs over 45 attorneys across offices in Washington, New York, Chicago, and San Francisco, with a total headcount of about 125, including subsidiaries specializing in subpoenas and gaming licensing. Its high-profile clients include Airbnb, Bose, DoorDash, NBCUniversal, and The New York Times.Luminos.Law, established five years ago, spun off a separate software company, Luminos.AI, in 2024 to offer custom AI risk management software on an enterprise platform. While Luminos.AI remains independent, Andrew Burt, co-founder of Luminos.Law, will focus on the software company while serving as a legal advisor to ZwillGen's new AI unit. Brenda Leong, also from Luminos, will lead ZwillGen's AI division.The deal is part of a broader trend of law firm mergers in 2025, particularly among small firms, as demand for legal expertise in emerging technologies grows.Tech, AI lawyers join forces in latest US law firm merger | ReutersIn my latest piece for Forbes, I talk about taxing oil wells. The United States is grappling with a crisis of orphaned and uncapped oil wells—sites with no accountable owner and no proper closure. These wells pose significant environmental and public health risks, leaking methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and contaminating groundwater. Estimates suggest there are between 310,000 and 800,000 undocumented orphan wells, with over 120,000 already identified as uncapped. Addressing this problem is critical, but the cost—ranging from tens of thousands to millions of dollars per well—is increasingly falling on taxpayers.The root of this issue lies in systemic regulatory failures and cost-shifting practices within the oil and gas industry. Older wells are often sold to smaller operators who lack the resources to maintain or cap them. When these operators go bankrupt, liabilities are abandoned. Bonding requirements meant to ensure cleanup funds are woefully inadequate, typically covering less than 2% of the actual cost.To tackle this crisis, I propose an Environmental Liability Tax (ELT) on oil and gas extraction. Levied per barrel, this tax would ensure that cleanup costs are collected upfront, placing the financial responsibility on the companies benefiting economically from the wells. Funds from the ELT could be held in state or federal trusts dedicated to plugging orphaned wells and restoring lands.The ELT could also incentivize better practices by offering tax credits to companies proactively addressing environmental risks. By taxing extraction rather than chasing bankrupt operators, the ELT would create a sustainable, enforceable funding mechanism to address this growing environmental liability. As the U.S. approaches peak oil, the time for systemic reform is now—before the cleanup bill comes due with no one left to pay.Towards An Environmental Liability Tax For Oil And Gas Wells This is a public episode.

In the late fifth century, a girl whose name has been forgotten by history was born at the edge of the Chinese empire. By the time of her death, she had transformed herself into Empress Dowager Ling, one of the most powerful politicians of her age and one of the first of many Buddhist women to wield incredible influence in dynastic East Asia. In this book, Stephanie Balkwill documents the Empress Dowager's rise to power and life on the throne against the broader world of imperial China under the rule of the Northern Wei dynasty, a foreign people from Inner Asia who built their capital deep in the Chinese heartland. Building on largely untapped Buddhist materials, Balkwill shows that the life and rule of the Empress Dowager is a larger story of the reinvention of religious, ethnic, and gender norms in a rapidly changing multicultural society. The Women Who Ruled China: Buddhism, Multiculturalism, and Governance in the Sixth Century (U California Press, 2024) recovers the voices of those left out of the mainstream historical record, painting a compelling portrait of medieval Chinese society reinventing itself under the Empress Dowager's leadership.

What kinds of labour - paid, under-paid and unpaid - keep the the kretek industry fabulously profitable in Indonesia? Marina Welker is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Cornell University whose research examines capitalism in Indonesia through the lens of multinational corporations involved in mining and tobacco. Her second book, “Kretek Capitalism: Making, Marketing, and Consuming Clove Cigarettes in Indonesia,” was recently published by the University of California Press and is available for free download as part of its Luminos open access series.

A captivating anthology of British clarinet compositions curated and performed by versatile musician Ronald Woodley and pianist Andrew West. This collection explores British musical modernism, featuring both new and underappreciated pieces from the twentieth century by composers Elisabeth Lutyens, Angela Elizabeth Slater, Morris Pert, Christopher Fox, and Edward Cowie. Woodley's deep-rooted fascination for the basset horn, inspired by Lutyens, drove him to rediscover the world of British musical modernism, revealing its complexities and dynamics.Notable compositions in the anthology include Elisabeth Lutyens' “This Green Tide” for the basset horn, Angela Elizabeth Slater's “Around the Darkening Sun” for bass clarinet and piano, Morris Pert's “Luminos” for basset horn and piano, Christopher Fox's “This has happened before” featuring multitracked bass clarinets, and Edward Cowie's “Heather Jean Nocturnes” inspired by visual art. This collection is a valuable addition for clarinet enthusiasts and music lovers, shedding light on the lesser-known gems of British music and showcasing the power of artistic collaboration across mediums, offering a glimpse into the evolution of British music.TracksElisabeth LutyensThis Green Tide, Op. 103 (10:15)Angela Elizabeth SlaterAround the Darkening Sun* (5:25)Morris PertLuminos, Op. 16a (16:22)Christopher FoxThis has happened before (10:54)Elisabeth LutyensFive Little Pieces, Op. 14 No. 1* I.

Conductor Shea Lolin and composer/producer Christopher Hussey have returned to Prague to record with the Czech Philharmonic Wind Ensemble, carefully curating an album of premiere recordings spotlighting the woodwind orchestra, capturing its kaleidoscopic colors and symphonic potential to deepen and broaden appreciation of the medium's power.A large chamber ensemble of flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, and saxophones in various sizes, the woodwind orchestra has a highly adaptable and magical tonal palette—it can be, in turn, boldly vibrant and delicately beautiful, thrillingly powerful and hauntingly tender, earnestly solemn and joyously comical.The recorded repertoire reflects a spectrum of musical styles that exist in 21st-century concert music, ranging from the familiar and instantly singable to the more avant-garde, but always possessing an accessible and inviting musical narrative. Chromosphere is a landmark album, comprising exciting new and re-imagined pieces by leading composers in the genre and demonstrating the unique soundworld of the woodwind orchestra.Shea Lolin is a dynamic and versatile freelance musician living in London. His principal studies were in clarinet performance, composition, and conducting at the Colchester Institute, and he has since developed an inimitable portfolio career as a conductor, performer, and teacher.TracksKeiron AndersonAlice in Wonderland* (11:30)Judith BinghamMozart's Pets* I.

Today I had the pleasure of talking to Jay Ke-Schutte on his just released book, Angloscene: Compromised Personhood in Afro-Chinese Translations (U California Press, 2023). Angloscene examines Afro-Chinese interactions within Beijing's aspirationally cosmopolitan student class. Jay Ke-Schutte explores the ways in which many contemporary interactions between Chinese and African university students are mediated through complex intersectional relationships with whiteness, the English language, and cosmopolitan aspiration. At the heart of these tensions, a question persistently emerges: How does English become more than a language—and whiteness more than a race? Engaging in this inquiry, Ke-Schutte explores twenty-first century Afro-Chinese encounters as translational events that diagram the discursive contours of a changing transnational political order—one that will certainly be shaped by African and Chinese relations.

How Did Syrian Peddlers Experience America? with Dr. Charlotte Karem Albrecht

Starting in the late 1800s, a group of Syrian immigrants settled in America. Many of them took up peddling as a career. When American newspapers described these peddlers, it was often in derogatory ways—and through terms of queerness. This week, Dr. Charlotte Karem Albrecht joins Jonathan to explore this moment in Arab American history, how it's been remembered, and what it reveals about “the sexual, racial, and gender machinery of American society.” A note from Team JVN: In this episode, Dr. Karem Albrecht and Jonathan discuss how Arabs and Arab Americans were understood by white Americans. As part of that discussion, we reference various historical documents that include anti-Arab and anti-Semitic language. If you'd like to pre-screen those moments, you can find them in the transcript at jonathanvanness.com. Charlotte Karem Albrecht is an Assistant Professor of American Culture and Women's and Gender Studies at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where she is also a core faculty member in the Arab and Muslim American Studies program. She is also an avid lover of plants and mushrooms and her five fur babies. You can follow Charlotte on Twitter and Instagram @CKaremAlbrecht. You can learn more about her work at www.charlotteka.com.  Make sure to check out her new book Possible Histories: Arab Americans and the Queer Ecology of Peddling, published by University of California Press. A free ebook version is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program.

When China's War of Resistance against Japan began in July 1937, it sparked an immediate health crisis throughout China. In the end, China not only survived the war but emerged from the trauma with a more cohesive population. Nicole Elizabeth Barnes's book, Intimate Communities: Wartime Healthcare and the Birth of Modern China, 1937-1945 (University of California Press, 2018), argues that women who worked as military and civilian nurses, doctors, and midwives during this turbulent period built the national community, one relationship at a time. In a country with a majority illiterate, agricultural population that could not relate to urban elites' conceptualization of nationalism, these women used their work of healing to create emotional bonds with soldiers and civilians from across the country. These bonds transcended the divides of social class, region, gender, and language. This book has won two major awards, William H. Welch Award by American Association for the History of Medicine in 2020, and Joan Kelly Memorial Prize by American Historical Association in 2019.

În acest episod vorbim cu Mihaela Maricescu, Femeia Colibri. Mihaela se ocupă cu medicina energetică, cu ceremonii și ritualuri de vindecare. Lucrează intuitiv și unește practicile școlii șamanice Villoldiene cu terapiile corporale și energia Universului. Ea crede în puterea de autovindecare a corpului, în legătura noastră cu soarele, luna și elementele naturale. De asemenea, crede în tot ceea ce ne oferă Pământul spre vindecare. În interviul ce urmează explorăm perspectiva șamanică asupra sanatatii si imunității, aflăm despre puterea intențiilor noastre și cum ne putem păstra echilibrul și sănătatea prin cultivarea unei igiene energetice. Și bonus, la final, Mihaela ne împărtășește despre ritualurile de binecuvantare a pantecului, un moment emoționant pentru noi potențial captivata cel putin pentru ascultatoarele noastre. Șamanii vorbesc cu povești: Ai văzut o orchestra care canta, fiecare la instrumentul lui. La fel și organismul nostru, sistemele noastre trebuie să aibă o armonie între ele. Șamanismul este una dintre puținele discipline care unește minte, trup, suflet, energie. Un șaman se uita la tine din toate aceste perspective. Imunitatea puternica = echilibrul pe toate planurile: minte, trup, suflet, energie Roata medicinei șamanice: Șarpele ne învață sa ne dezbrăcăm de trecut cum se dezbracă el de propria piele. “Lași în urma ceea ce ai fost ca sa devii cine ești” Jaguar/puma: “Încercați voi sa va convingeti pisicile ca sunt probleme mari pe lume” Pășește cu încredere. Pasarea colibri este cea care zice: eu am sa reusesc, în pofida, eu am sa mă bucur în pofida ca, eu am sa fiu sanatos în pofida… “Eu mă apuc de voiajul epic al vieții mele” Condorul/acvila: De pe culmile cele mai înalte ale munților, sa ne uităm la probleme noastre și sa le vedem în mod detașat cat sunt de mici. Detasarea: in nisipurile miscatoare nu te duci tu sa dai din brațe. Imunitatea este ca un corp luminos, ca o sferă luminoasă în jurul nostru. În interiorul ei pot pătrunde lucruri negative doar în momentul în care se găsesc găuri prin care să intre.
