NWP: Bar Exam AI, Student Loan Collection, Ukraine, & a University's Defense Pact

This week in the news: there's a lot. The California Bar's February exam was riddled with technical issues, and now we know part of the story why - the test writers trusted AI far too much. The Trump administration's appearance of power continues to erode, with Pete Hegseth accused of another Signal leak, and Kristi Noem's purse stolen in a public restaurant. The war between Ukraine and Russia continues to be TENSE, with Trump pushing Ukraine to cede Crimea to Russia. Plus things continue to be messy for universities - the Feds have decided to start collecting on defaulted student loans, which will mean a much tighter budget for 5.3 million people. Plus 6 universities have signed a pact to act together against potential administrative demands, as Harvard and others have received.
