Scandal Resilience in American Politics
Washington Monthly revisits the 19th‑century Sumner‑Brooks episode to argue that today’s partisan climate still lets politicians survive even the most egregious misconduct. The magazine notes that modern scandals, from Trump’s legal woes to congressional ethics probes, often fail to trigger resignations because deep‑seated polarization shields incumbents. By tracing the historical continuity of “scandal immunity,” it underscores how societal fatigue with partisan outrage may be eroding a key democratic check.

Font Wars Reach the State Department
OSNews reports that Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered a return to Times New Roman, denouncing the previous Calibri switch as a “woke” imposition. The New York Times is cited for framing the move as a clash between “radical” DEI programs and traditional bureaucratic formality. The episode illustrates how even typographic choices become flashpoints in today’s culture‑war battles, reflecting broader societal debates over identity politics.

CoinDesk details the OCC’s warning that nine major U.S. banks have systematically restricted services to “controversial” sectors, a practice the agency labels unlawful under President Trump’s executive order. The report warns of possible fines, consent decrees, or other disciplinary measures for institutions that continue to “debank” legal customers. This regulatory push highlights the political friction between financial oversight and industry lobbying over environmental and social governance criteria.

The Atlantic describes President Donald Trump’s “toddler” foreign policy, noting his unilateral buildup of forces near Venezuela and the Caribbean without seeking the constitutionally required congressional authorization. The piece argues that the administration’s vague rhetoric and lack of a formal casus belli signal a departure from traditional diplomatic norms, raising concerns about executive overreach in international conflict.

Their coalition reflects growing political pressure to impose stricter oversight on a rapidly expanding financial frontier.

He announced the launch of AMI, a venture aimed at creating AI systems that reason about physical reality rather than merely generating text. LeCun’s European‑first stance highlights a shifting geopolitical balance in AI research funding and talent migration.
