28 days from the midterms, Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) reflects on his tenure in government as documented in his new book, “How to Lose Friends and Antagonize Presidents.” Sen.

As AI innovation continues to spark moral and ethical questions about humanity, machines, and the dignity of work, religious leaders have begun to participate in discussions of the technology’s future. Reverend Walter Kim, president of the National Association of Evangelicals, discusses the paths forward for humans and for society on the whole. Plus, President Trump has signed an executive order to make cheaper diesel more accessible, SpaceX shares jumped this week, and New York Governor Kathy Hochul has declared a State Disaster Emergency as measles cases rise in the state.
