The announcement of the Police Leadership Commission comes after policing has been mired in controversy in recent years, including a recent undercover investigation which captured Metropolitan Police officers at Charing Cross police station calling for immigrants to be shot.

Self-driving cars aren't science fiction anymore. From self-driving technology in the latest electric vehicles to fleets of taxis you can order from your phone, the autonomous vehicle revolution is just getting started. But how will the public react as self-driving cars become more of an everyday part of our bustling cities? Automakers and city leaders across the country are balancing how to encourage adoption without compromising safety as they prepare communities for the ripple effects of autonomy - from infrastructure to human behavior.

The most recent Engaged Journalism Exchange - a convening of journalism practitioners, funders, and scholars in San Francisco over the summer - began with Anita Varma describing how she'd been the target of a disinformation campaign, a home vandalism, and doxxing during the several years she's been leading the Solidarity Journalism Initiative as an assistant professor in the School of Journalism and Media at the University of Texas at Austin.

Only 9% of Americans are using AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Gemini as a news source, with 2% using AI to get news often, 7% sometimes, 16% rarely, and 75% never, Pew found.

They said the effort disenfranchises voters.

Kenvue, the company behind the household brand, at least has a playbook to turn to for guidance. That's because Tylenol's original owner, Johnson & Johnson, developed it decades ago after seven people in the Chicago area died from taking its capsules because someone had laced them with potassium cyanide. The 1982 unsolved mystery became known as the " Tylenol murders." J&J's handling of the incident not only saved the brand - and protected consumers from future tragedy - but also set the gold standard for crisis management that is still taught in business schools.

Justice Barrett plays an extraordinarily powerful role on the court, as part of the three-member fulcrum whose votes often decide cases, and her book is billed as a rare look inside her work.

The western states envision issuing guidelines they said would be driven by evidence-based recommendations from national medical organizations.

After nearly five decades, Dan Balz is retiring from The Washington Post, where he covered 12 elections and eight presidencies as a political correspondent. On Washington Week With The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg asks Balz about the state of American democracy today, and how he's seen the landscape of politics change. "Over the course of 50 years that I've been doing this, I think that the most important shift," Balz said last night, is that "politics has gotten tougher, coarser, and meaner."

The high street shop fronts are seen as connecting various domestic problems in Britain, as illegal cigarette sales are tied to serious organized crime and undermine public trust in authorities.

"If you are still conducting active investigations and interviews in the 10th or 11th month, witnesses or subject officers may have trouble recollecting what happened. If the case is open for almost a year, it doesn't give complaining witnesses a lot of confidence that they're complaint is being taken seriously."
