A group of more than 60 loyal allies of President Trump is urging him to test and approve the most powerful AI models before they're released, according to a new letter shared first with Axios. Why it matters: The letter — signed by Steve Bannon and conservative anti-AI activists Amy Kremer and Brendan Steinhauser — puts a vocal faction of the MAGA base at odds with the White House's hands-off approach to AI. - Inside the White House, the prevailing view is the opposite: that America will win the AI race by keeping regulation light and knocking down most state-level AI laws. - Even administration officials who support testing and evaluating models have backed away from the idea that the government should approve them.

AXIOS (Andrew Solender) - "We've crossed the rubicon": Jewish lawmakers face an explosion of antisemitism
Antisemitism is so resurgent in U.S. politics that some of the worst hate speech you've ever heard has become a part of day-to-day life for Jewish politicians.

AXIOS (Brittany Gibson) - Trump abandons Dreamers despite past sympathy
President Trump talks sympathetically about the country's 500,000 Dreamers — but his administration is putting them in the crosshairs for deportation.
