Ford just launched a $2 billion energy subsidiary to power AI data centers. The electricity gold rush is real — and so is the $40 billion cancellation wave it's already producing. The question isn't whether the boom is happening. It's who pays when it breaks.
Federal Reserve officials are refusing to accept AI productivity gains as a basis for monetary policy — and their pushback exposes who actually bears the cost when tech industry promises outpace delivery.
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka's curfew around Delaney Hall restricts protesters but imposes nothing on the facility where detainees have alleged beatings and pepper spray retaliation — the conditions that brought demonstrators there in the first place.
The Trump administration scrapped its $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund after GOP pushback and a federal court fight. No disbursement records have been released. No eligibility rules were ever published. The retreat is not the accountability.
Top House Democrat calls out SEC schools for silence Campaign comes as states move to redraw voter maps Hakeem Jeffries, the top US House Democrat, has amplified calls for Black athletes to boycott public universities in states that have moved to limit voting rights, saying an “unprecedented moment,
ICE agent Christian Castro shot a Venezuelan man in Minneapolis in January, filed a report claiming self-defense, and was arrested in Texas eleven days after being charged. Body camera footage drove the case. The question is what conditions made the lie a reasonable bet in the first place.
A federal jury convicted three ICE protesters — including a U.S. Army veteran — of felony conspiracy for a 2025 demonstration in Spokane. Legal experts say the prosecution isn't about these three defendants. It's about making organized dissent too expensive to sustain.
A federal judge ruled Friday that only Congress can rename the Kennedy Center, halting both the renaming and a planned closure. The 94-page decision is a precise legal rebuke of an administration that has repeatedly treated statutory boundaries as advisory.
Louisiana Republicans passed a new congressional map eliminating the majority-Black sixth district drawn under federal court order — shifting the state's delegation to 5-1 Republican and testing how much enforcement power the weakened Voting Rights Act still has.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired the co-chairs of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force last week. Why it matters: The move could open the task force up to more political influence. It comes as the administration prepares to vet new applicants to the committee, a process in which the c
Detainees at Delaney Hall told a visiting member of Congress that ICE used pepper spray and physical force against them in direct retaliation for an ongoing hunger strike. The agency's own framing confirms the logic — that protesting conditions is itself an offense.
A Kenyan court blocked a U.S. plan to build an Ebola quarantine facility on its soil. The facility was for Americans. The infrastructure that would have made it unnecessary was eliminated by USAID cuts earlier this year.
The SEC's three Republican commissioners have formally moved to kill the 2024 climate disclosure rule. The real casualty isn't climate policy — it's the mechanism that would have let investors verify whether corporate climate pledges were real.
Two police officers, a handful of rebelling Republicans, and a 1998 law stand between the "Anti-Weaponization Fund" and reality. Here is what each of them can actually do — and why none of it is a sure thing.
We told you about the people cashing in on war. Here's the quieter version, the one happening in an election year: the operatives who run the campaigns, quietly wagering on the races they control — with information you won't see until it's too late to matter.
Three rulings landed on May 21 — none of them the term's marquee cases, but each one a window into how this Court reads a statute, when it chooses to look away, and who pays when it does.
