"Artificial Intelligence is a coming storm that threatens to alter - and I believe, improve - all organizations. The pace of technological change today means that the Fed does not have the time to sit back and ruminate about changes for months and years on end."

Kash Patel panicked after being locked out of an FBI computer system, believing he had been fired by President Trump. This incident was later attributed to a technical issue.

Diminished. Sadly. I mean, you know, when I was a student, it was just understood that the U.S. was the leading nation in the world, not just the biggest, not the richest, not most powerful, but the country that people looked to because of our values as well as because of our strength.

Residents in Lebanon are closely monitoring the U.S.-Iran situation, fearing that if talks collapse, the temporary ceasefire with Hezbollah will also end, prolonging their suffering.

The White House described the conversation as 'introductory, productive, and constructive,' saying the three discussed 'opportunities for collaboration, as well as shared approaches and protocols to address the challenges associated with scaling this technology.'

"Getting rich by betting on inside information is corruption, plain and simple," Hochul said in a statement. "Our actions will ensure that public servants work for the people they represent, not their own personal enrichment."

Israel's killing of over 75,000 Palestinians, as well as its role in the Iran War, has led to a steep drop in popularity among Democratic voters, and increasingly among lawmakers as well.

Lori Shapiro expressed her concerns to her husband, stating, 'I don't think we are ready to do this. It's not the right time for our family. And it's not on our terms.'

Sen. Rick Scott insisted on spending cuts to offset the new enforcement funding, while Sen. Tommy Tuberville emphasized the need for military funding and other GOP priorities.

In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department. Madison, the primary author of the Constitution, emphasized that vesting war powers in Congress rather than the President represented a crucial safeguard against concentrated executive authority and the potential for individual flaws in judgment affecting national security decisions.

If the proposal is implemented, workers would not be able to seek remedy through an independent review board. The administration of United States President Donald Trump is making it harder for fired federal employees to get their jobs back by limiting their right to appeal dismissals to an independent review board. The change was proposed as part of a government plan released on Monday by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

I think we know what the agenda items are. Accomplishing those is going to be hard with a small majority. The upshot is that Trump's prime-time address is unlikely to make more than a ripple in the congressional agenda over the coming months. It's the reality, Republicans acknowledged Wednesday, of life in Washington right now: Despite its trifecta, the party's legislative ambitions are being hemmed in by its barely-there majorities.

In this new season, I'm asking how the Trump White House is rewriting the rules of U.S. politics, and talking to Americans whose lives have been changed as a result. Today's episode examines the destruction of the civil service: the removal of professionals, and their replacement with loyalists. I've seen this kind of transformation before, in other failing democracies. Everyone suffers from the degradation of public services.
