President Trump has become so politically toxic that voters now say Joe Biden — whose unpopularity forced him into early retirement — did a better job as president, according to three new polls. Why it matters: One year in, Trump has squandered virtually every advantage that won him the presidency. The White House has nine months to turn the ship around before a potential midterm wipeout for Republicans. Zoom in: Three national surveys point to the same alarming trend for a president who's done everything in his power to erase his predecessor's legacy . - Harvard CAPS/Harris (Jan. 28–29): Mark Penn's polling firm found that 51% of registered voters say Trump is doing a worse job than Biden, compared with 49% who say he's doing…

President Trump is trying to pull the rug out from under federal climate regulation. But the U.S. economy may no longer be standing on it. Why it matters: The energy transition is well underway and is unlikely to be reversed by Thursday's historic move. The big picture: America's emissions are projected to decline substantially even if major climate regulations are repealed, driven by falling renewable energy prices and cleaner natural gas outcompeting dirtier coal. Driving the news: The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday is expected to overturn the 2009 "endangerment finding," which determined that greenhouse gases threaten public health and welfare. - The finding sets the foundation for federal regulation of climate pollution…

Top AI experts at OpenAI, Anthropic and other companies warn of rising dangers of their technology, with some quitting in protest or going public with grave concerns. Why it matters: Leading AI models, including Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's ChatGPT, are getting a lot better, a lot faster, and even building new products themselves. - That excites AI optimists — and scares the hell out of several people tasked with policing their safety for society. Driving the news: On Monday, an Anthropic researcher announced his departure, in part to write poetry about "the place we find ourselves." - An OpenAI researcher also left this week citing ethical concerns. Another OpenAI employee, Hieu Pham, wrote on X : "I finally feel the existential…
