I\u2019m Stella Garner, here with the week in review.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/officemovingamerica.com\/?p=294\">Trump Promises \u2018Rally to End All Rallies\u2019 After Performers Dropped Out of Freedom 250<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2><b>Monday<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>As anticipation builds for the U.S.-hosted World Cup, Olivier <u>covered<\/u> Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin\u2019s threats to block international flights in \u201csanctuary\u201d cities where local laws limit federal immigration enforcement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The U.S. Travel Association said such a move could cost the country roughly $8 billion in international travel spending and risk \u201cnearly 50,000 American jobs.\u201d President Donald Trump has been silent on Mullin&#8217;s plan, but Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy condemned the idea during a congressional hearing last month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2><b>Tuesday<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Next, Olivier <u>explained<\/u> Florida\u2019s new lawsuit against OpenAI over safety and health concerns. Florida is the first state to sue the AI firm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The state\u2019s 83-page complaint repeatedly uses the term \u201cAI addiction,\u201d reminiscent of state lawsuits against tobacco companies in the 1990s. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier called OpenAI CEO Sam Altman\u2019s conduct \u201creckless\u201d and argued he should be held personally liable for harm to Floridians.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The suit comes after Uthmeier launched a criminal investigation into OpenAI in April, following a shooting at Florida State University last year. The investigation questions whether ChatGPT, which the shooter allegedly used to help plan the attack, is liable for the deaths of two people.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/officemovingamerica.com\/?p=292\">What to Know: Trump Strips Job Protections From Thousands of Federal Employees<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2><b>Wednesday<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Midweek, Olivier <u>rounded up<\/u> local news of note from across the country. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani showed support for the New York Knicks\u2019 \u201chistoric\u201d appearance in the NBA Finals by playfully repealing bedtime for local children. Farther south, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott celebrated a historic low for murder rates, with the first single-digit homicide tally for a May in decades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>In Illinois, legislators are moving forward with a bill to impose taxes on social media sites, prediction markets and fantasy sports, based on user metrics. Vermont lawmakers weren\u2019t as successful; the state\u2019s legislature adjourned after failing to pass a bill that would require federal agents (like those from Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to operate without masks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2><b>Thursday<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Olivier ended the week <u>discussing<\/u> the Brookings Institution\u2019s new \u201cStates of Affordability\u201d report, which found that a large share of Americans are struggling to make ends meet. Nearly half of all U.S. households were unable to afford necessities in 2024, the report found. Analysts noted that if annual costs rose by even $1,000, an additional 3 million households would join those ranks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The report suggests that raising incomes, lowering prices or a combination of both would alleviate some of the financial pressures families face. But, as Olivier writes, such measures seem elusive in the current political climate.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/officemovingamerica.com\/?p=290\">Nearly Half of U.S. Households Can\u2019t Make Ends Meet<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lawmakers are taking on tech, and Americans are struggling to pay the bills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":295,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[85,135,128,6,153,158,8,39,157],"class_list":["post-296","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-u-s-news-decision-points","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-department-of-homeland-security","tag-florida","tag-inflation","tag-money","tag-new-york-city","tag-sign-in-to-manage-your-newsletters","tag-travel","tag-zohran-mamdani"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
