The Department of Health and Human Services keeps saying it's turning over a new leaf , but it has only been partially successful — and controversial vaccine policymaking appears to be back on the table. Why it matters: Though the agency reset was launched with the midterm elections in mind, it's already under strain and the elections are still more than three months away. State of play: Until this week, the administration had spent most of this year toning down its approach to vaccines, after it became clear through polling that vaccine skepticism was a political liability for the GOP in the midterm elections. - But it wasn't just vaccines. The Food and Drug Administration had become dysfunctional enough that critics were warning of…
Data: Brunswick Group and Echelon Insights; Chart: Sara Wise/Axios CEOs face an increasingly skeptical American public that's laser-focused on affordability and fairness, according to polling from the Brunswick Group and Echelon Insights provided first to Axios. Why it matters: With the midterms less than 100 days away, the results show corporate leaders need to build trust through consistency and neutrality — rather than trying to chase political headwinds. By the numbers: 41% of Americans surveyed said a topic linked to affordability (cost of living, the economy, jobs) is the biggest issue facing the country right now. - Asked what they'd tell CEOs about life in America today, a quarter of respondents pointed to high costs, while…
A police department in New Jersey is using a new tactic to catch alleged distracted drivers.
The way your work shows up in a digital-dominated world is changing lightning fast, starting with the total collapse of Google Search traffic.

Over the past two years, small publishers lost 60% of referrals from search overall, medium publishers 47%, large publishers 22%. - This is a gut punch to all of us who operate online because people who search arrive with specific needs and intent, so they tend to be more…
A series of dangerous heat waves this summer — including one that has left 17 states under an emergency federal order — are putting the electric grid under an intense real-world stress test. Why it matters: Successive summer heat waves are forcing utilities to rethink how they prepare the grid for longer and more frequent periods of extreme stress. - They're raising questions about whether the electric grid can keep pace with surging demand from both climate change and the AI-driven electricity boom. State of play: Heat waves create a double challenge by increasing electricity demand for air-conditioning while reducing the efficiency of some power plants. Zoom in: Texas has become one of the nation's biggest proving grounds for…
The Trump administration has a new tactic for trying to isolate cases of alleged voter fraud — digging into the IP addresses of those who went online to register to vote. - The FBI recently obtained the IP address of someone who registered online in South Carolina, according to documents first shared with Axios. Why it matters: The bureau's request for the address, which state and local officials complied with, offers a glimpse of how federal authorities are stepping up their probe of voter rolls and registration practices under pressure from President Trump. - The president's persistent complaints about the 2020 election have expanded into federal investigations that also involve the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland…
