President Trump has issued an immediate ban on journalists from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from accessing the White House. The decision was announced by President Trump on Truth Social, where he accused these media outlets of 'constantly spreading fake news.'

Rep. Jay Obernolte Expresses Frustration Over Slow Congressional Progress on AI Regulation

Rep. Jay Obernolte, R-Hesperia, a key figure in artificial intelligence (AI) policy, has voiced frustration over the slow pace of AI regulation in Congress. In 2024, Obernolte chaired the bipartisan House Task Force on Artificial Intelligence, which produced a 273-page report with 85 policy recommendations aimed at balancing AI innovation with safeguards against potential harms. Despite this bipartisan effort, only one of these proposals, the Take it Down Act, has been codified into law, signed by President Trump in May 2025. Obernolte, who also chairs the House Subcommittee on Research and Technology, emphasized the urgent need for legislative action, noting that many proposals are being split into smaller bills to navigate Congress's complex committee structure. He and Rep. Lori Trahan, D-Massachusetts, drafted the Great American AI Act, but it has not been submitted as a single bill due to its cross-jurisdictional nature, which would require review by numerous committees.
