As the DHS shutdown has crossed 60 days, pressure is on House Republicans to end the standoff. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin discusses the latest in the funding battle, Democratic demands for ICE reforms, policy changes at the department, and the real-world impact of the prolonged shutdown. As Anthropic’s “Mythos” model grows more advanced, concerns about AI risk are also accelerating. Stuart Russell, UC Berkeley professor and president of the International Association for Safe and Ethical AI, explains the potential harms of increasingly powerful systems, the push for safer development, and the case for regulation. Plus, the Trump administration taps automakers to boost weapons production, and LIV Golf faces a potential shutdown as Saudi backers weigh pulling funding.
