AXIOS (Alex Thompson) - Scoop: Rahm Emanuel announces plan to divert ICE money to community colleges

Rahm Emanuel wants to shift billions of dollars from building new ICE facilities to funding community colleges — arguing they'll become more critical as AI disrupts the job market. Why it matters: It's Emanuel's latest attempt to get ahead of other potential 2028 candidates with early policy proposals, especially on AI, tech and education. Driving the news: Emanuel — former mayor of Chicago, White House chief of staff, House Democratic Caucus chair and U.S. ambassador to Japan — is proposing to take 20% of the $38.3 billion the Trump administration plans to spend on ICE detention centers and divert it to community colleges. - "The priority for Americans should be education, not detention," Emanuel wrote. - "As the explosive…

AXIOS (Zachary Basu) - Trump pursues era of unshackled warfare

President Trump's threat to bomb Iran's water supply would constitute his most dramatic breach of the laws and norms designed to protect civilians in wartime. Why it matters: The Iran war is the biggest test of what Trump's contempt for "politically correct" war-fighting looks like in practice. - His administration has already signed off on Israeli assassinations of political leaders, threatened "no quarter" for enemy combatants, and initially rejected responsibility for a mass casualty strike on an elementary school. - But the U.S. has been almost exclusively targeting Iran's military and nuclear program up to now. - The threat to hit civilian infrastructure shows how intent Trump is on finding ways to increase the pressure on…

AXIOS (Donica Phifer) - U.S. average gas price hits $4 a gallon

U.S. average gas prices have hit $4 per gallon nationwide, per AAA . Why it matters: It's a 35% increase at the pump since the war in Iran began last month, and there's little hope that costs will ease as the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to most ships, straining supplies worldwide. - Approximately 20% of the world's oil supply travels through the Strait. Driving the news: Oil prices have surged to over $100 a barrel or more since the war began, raising the prices that consumers pay when they fill up. - A month ago, regular gas averaged $2.98. A year ago, it was $3.17. Zoom in: The national average now rests at $4.018 for regular gas, $4.541 for mid-grade, $4.904 for premium, and $5.454 for diesel. Flashback: Gas prices last…
