Story summary

Donald Trump launched America.gov, an AI-powered website designed to consolidate information from over 29,000 federal websites into a single searchable database. The platform aims to simplify interactions with the federal government and eventually allow users to complete tasks such as renewing passports and enrolling in Medicare by 2027. However, shortly after its launch on September 29, America.gov began providing factual information that contradicted some of Trump's false claims, such as election fraud and immigration policies. This unexpected turn caused the platform to be updated a day later to avoid answering politically sensitive questions directly related to Trump’s contentious narratives.

🔮 Hochul claimed that she had lost faith in Van Houten’s ability to fairly oversee the case and tapped James for the special prosecutor role. “As special prosecutor, the Attorney General will investigate this incident and, if warranted, prosecute any offenses arising from that investigation and present evidence to a grand jury,” Hochul said in a statement.

Don Bacon (R-NE) wrote a Washington Post op-ed on Friday criticizing the Trump administration’s deportation of nonviolent illegal immigrants, saying it has led to hardworking illegal immigrants leaving the country. “According to ICE’s own numbers, people with no criminal conviction and with only an immigration violation and no other pending charge are now the single largest group the agency holds in detention,” he wrote.
