NPR (Stephan Bisaha) - Is it a renter's market? It depends on where you live

ABCNEWS - All eyes turn to Fed chair Kevin Warsh and his first moves on interest rates
Ever since Kevin Warsh was nominated by President Trump in late January to lead the Federal Reserve, a question has lingered: Will he seek to raise interest rates to tame inflation or cut them as Trump has long demanded
AXIOS (Russell Contreras) - Vance gives Catholic converts a bigger stage
Vice President JD Vance's memoir about his conversion to Catholicism, out Tuesday , puts a high-profile face on a small but distinctive slice of the U.S. Church. Why it matters: Parish reports have fueled talk of a Catholic revival. But a new Pew Research Center analysis found the Church loses eight former Catholics for every adult it gains through conversion. The converts it does attract tend to be whiter, more conservative, and more observant than "cradle Catholics," or those born into the faith. - "The story of how I regained my faith, of course, only happened because I had lost it to begin with," Vance said in an announcement about the book in March. "The interesting question that hangs over this book, and over my mind, is why I…
AXIOS (Mike Allen) - Microsoft's Brad Smith on AI-era jobs: "Let's not panic"
Brad Smith , vice chair and president of Microsoft, slammed tech moguls for hypocritical, grandiose warnings that are alienating Americans at a time of huge workforce opportunity. - "Nobody knows for sure, but let's not panic," Smith, who has been with Microsoft for 33 years , said from the tech giant's headquarters in Redmond, Washington. Why it matters: Smith is among the tech leaders who think dire predictions about AI's threat to entry-level white-collar jobs are souring young Americans on a miraculous technology. Smith writes in a new paper about AI's effect on jobs that AI getting booed at this spring's commencements should be a "powerful wake-up call for the tech sector." - "Hopefully, leaders across our industry will listen…
AXIOS (Andrew Solender) - An explosion of AI deepfakes is redefining American elections
Campaign ads featuring AI-generated clips and images once sounded like a laughable concept. Now they're everywhere, with attack ads that place candidates in a wide variety of compromising — and fictitious — situations. Why it matters: This largely unregulated practice is warping the unspoken norms of political campaigns and blurring the line between truth and fiction. - Some campaigns voluntarily disclose this AI use, but it's not required. - Democrats want to change that if they retake control of Congress in November. Driving the news: The latest spot to push the envelope is an attack ad against Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico from a President Trump-aligned group called Citizens for Sanity. - The ad depicts…
AXIOS (Mike Zapler) - How the Anthropic saga could threaten American AI dominance
The Trump administration says it wants American AI to dominate the world. - But its decision to force Anthropic to abruptly cut off access to one of its most advanced models risks sending foreign governments and companies a very different message: Don't build your future on U.S. AI. Why it matters: As the Trump administration shapes its AI regulatory regime in real time, the precedents it sets could reverberate far beyond an individual showdown with Anthropic. Catch up quick: The last month of AI policymaking has been a blur of zigs and zags by the administration. - First Trump delayed an executive order that would have created a voluntary reporting system for advanced AI releases. He said he didn't want to threaten America's lead over…
AXIOS (Sara Fischer) - Fox enters new era with Roku deal
Data: Nielsen; Chart: Axios Visuals Fox's $22 billion deal to buy Roku marks a turning point in the streaming wars and a new era for the Murdoch media empire. Why it matters: Streaming is no longer a paid subscriber race, but rather an opportunity for entertainment giants to accelerate other parts of their businesses where they have a competitive edge against Netflix. - For Apple, Amazon, Disney and Comcast/NBCUniversal, that means selling devices, e-commerce subscriptions, parks/movie tickets and broadband, respectively. - For Fox, it means bringing more eyeballs to its live programming and selling more digital TV ads. How it works: The merger would make Fox the owner of the top digital TV operating system in the U.S. - Fox could…
