The Trump administration says Americans should prepare between now and Election Day for a wave of new arrests and prosecutions over alleged non-citizen voter fraud . Why it matters: The Trump administration is deploying hundreds of federal investigators and attorneys to pursue President Trump's long-running fixation — and test a broader Republican claim that tougher enforcement will uncover far more illegal voting. - "This initiative is a tier one priority," a Justice Department official told reporters on Tuesday. "It's a top priority for the attorney general and for the White House." The big picture: Across the country, there are now 1,600 open cases of potential voter fraud and 160 people have been arrested, a Homeland Security…
President Trump's accelerationist AI doctrine increasingly bears the stamp of the "All-In" podcast, whose tech-investor network now feeds ideas and talent directly into the White House. Why it matters: An unlikely marriage of convenience between MAGA and Silicon Valley has proved remarkably durable, deepening as Trump sheds support elsewhere and stakes more of his legacy on dominating the AI race. Zoom in: No figure has done more to bridge the two worlds than David Sacks , the "All-In" co-host who spent Trump's first year as his AI czar and remains a powerful outside adviser with direct access to the president. - Sacks helped build Trump's original AI agenda around a simple premise: move fast, sweep away regulatory barriers and treat…
Uber is betting billions on a driverless future, but the secret to making the economics work could be — surprise! — its vast army of human drivers. Why it matters: Uber believes a hybrid network of robots and people can keep its expensive autonomous vehicles busier, and therefore more profitable, than fleets made up entirely of robotaxis. The big picture: Think of a high-tech robotaxi like an airplane: It costs money whether it's carrying passengers or sitting on the ground. - The more trips each vehicle makes, the more revenue Uber and its robotaxi partners can squeeze from that expensive asset, offsetting the fixed costs of the technology, vehicle financing, insurance, depot space and other infrastructure. Between the lines:…
President Trump's Board of Peace will unveil a six-month, $2.45 billion recovery plan for Gaza at a meeting of its members on Wednesday. Why it matters: The 66-project proposal offers one of the most comprehensive roadmaps yet for what the early months of post-war reconstruction and governance in Gaza would look like. - The plan is a result of a year of work by dozens of people both on the Board of Peace, which includes 28 member countries, and in the Palestinian technocratic government. - It includes projected spending for temporary housing, rubble removal, hospital repairs, economic recovery and the deployment of a multinational security force, according to a copy of the plan obtained by Axios. - "The plan shows how to stand up a…
Data: Charles F. Kettering Foundation and Gallup; Note: Values shown may not total 100% due to rounding and exclusion of "don't know" responses; Chart: Noah Bressner/Axios Visuals A majority of Americans say the rule of law in the U.S. is weaker now than a decade ago, when Donald Trump was first elected president, according to a massive new survey of more than 23,000 U.S. adults. Driving the news: 78% of those responding to the survey by Gallup and the Charles F. Kettering Foundation for its Democracy for All Project say government officials must always follow laws and the Constitution. - But just 28% trust that political leaders will be held accountable if they don't. Zoom in: Throwing out incumbents was respondents' top choice (17%)…
