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.

Enbridge is planning an expansion of a major natural gas pipeline into New England, setting the stage for a political battle over the future of the Northeast’s energy system just as the midterm election season heats up.

The Calgary-based pipeline company recently briefed the National Energy Dominance Council on plans for an expansion of its Algonquin Gas Transmission line, according to a White House official. Enbridge is also briefing potential buyers on its plans, according to an industry official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive business matters.

This is unusual because House Ethics did not just say the Cory Mills probe is ongoing. The committee specifically cited the February 2025 D.C. incident where police responded to a report that Mills had assaulted a woman he was in a relationship with, and it also cited an October 2025 court-issued injunction involving a woman. The subcommittee says it has authorized more than 20 subpoenas, collected thousands of documents, and contacted dozens of witnesses.
