How TIME Chose the 100 Most Influential Companies of 2026
If I said some of the things I would want to do 10, 20 years from now, they’d be like, ‘This guy is f-cking crazy.’
Trump Lashes Out at Merz After Threatening to Pull Troops From Germany Amid Escalating Row
During a visit to troops at a military base in Munster, Germany, on Thursday morning, Merz didn’t directly address Trump, but he did reiterate the importance of the transatlantic partnership
No wonder Germany is doing so poorly, both Economically, and otherwise!"
The Americans obviously have no strategy,... and the problem with such conflicts is always that you don’t just have to go in, you also have to get out again. We saw that very painfully in Afghanistan for 20 years. We saw that in Iraq.”
We are following a clear compass, especially during this turbulent phase, this compass remains focused on a strong NATO and a reliable transatlantic partnership,
On all these [world] issues, we maintain close and trusting contact with our partners, including—and especially—those in Washington,
Maine Gov. Janet Mills Ends Senate Bid, Clearing the Way For Graham Platner
Janet Mills suspended her campaign for the U.S. Senate Thursday, all but ensuring progressive oyster farmer Graham Platner will face Republican Senator Susan Collins in November
I will continue to very publicly take accountability for the fact that I used to believe some really stupid stuff,
This is a campaign to beat Susan Collins. It is also a campaign to entirely change how people in Maine engage with politics, and that is a project that, quite frankly, looks the same regardless of who we're running against.”
Are We Losing Our Minds to AI?
The technology’s generality lets it occupy roles that used to be human-only: assistant, tutor, friend, lover, therapist
So essentially, we’re killing the path to become an expert, but also assuming that experts exist in the world and can operate these systems,
I strategically delegate all sorts of things to AI all the time,
It's starting to creep into the things we thought were cognitively ours,
We believe AI can empower everyone to achieve their goals, learn more, be happier and more fulfilled, and pursue their dreams,
Nearly half of all lawyers mention coming up against AI unreliability firsthand, yet they also report the highest rates of realized decision-making benefits,
The more we think of ourselves as classically extended minds, the better,... because then we’ll feel like we have a vested interest, because this stuff is a part of us
You want to be careful to use these tools in a way that complements you, rather than just offloading work to them,
I'm sold on the idea that tech distorts our incentives to do what might be best for us,
For structured tasks like coding, obviously it has high accuracy,
We need to accept that AI is here to stay,
The CDC's New Messaging May Be Damaging Trust in Vaccines, Study Says
It is always difficult to attribute changes in vaccination rates to one single factor,... but in my view, this shift in CDC communication could indeed contribute to declining vaccine confidence and, ultimately, lower vaccination rates.”
Research has shown that communicating scientific consensus can strengthen trust in science,
We should not imagine epidemics as something that only happens after vaccination rates collapse dramatically,
With public health becoming increasingly polarized, it’s critical to understand people’s attitudes about vaccines, and this work suggests people’s media preferences play an outsized role in influencing those attitudes,
If I can find at least one scientific study that suggests vaccines might be harmful,... that is enough reason to doubt the many studies that find no serious risk.”
What concerns me is not only the immediate effect on vaccine attitudes, but also the broader downstream effects: reduced trust in the CDC and greater endorsement of science-denial practices may shape how people will engage, or not engage, with information about vaccines more generally,
If some children develop autism after being vaccinated, that is good evidence that vaccines can cause autism.”... Important evidence about serious vaccine risks is being hidden from the public by a coordinated effort of health authorities and pharmaceutical companies.”
The claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism,

Iran Vows to Protect Its Nuclear and Missile Capabilities as Oil Prices Soar to Four-Year High
We have seen the fate of your bases in the region; we will also see the same thing happen to your ships,
Collins Joins Democrats in Voting For Measure to End Iran War
Susan Collins of Maine and Rand Paul of Kentucky the only Republicans breaking with their party as Congress again declined to assert its authority over a war that has entered its eighth week without formal approval
We are in a cease-fire right now, which our understanding means the 60-day clock pauses, or stops, in a cease-fire,
The President’s authority as Commander-in-Chief is not without limits,
It all depends on the information that gets conveyed to us about the strategic objectives, the timing, all that stuff needs to come before us,
Former FBI Director James Comey Indicted Over Alleged Trump Threat
While this case is unique and this indictment stands out because of the name of the defendant,... his alleged conduct is the same kind of conduct that we will never tolerate and that we will always investigate.”
Threatening the life of the President of the United States will never be tolerated by the Department of Justice,
I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down.”
If AI Can Model Cells, Science Can Deliver Cures
Buckingham Palace Responds as Trump Claims King ‘Agrees’ With Him on Iran
The remark risked drawing the King into the political row over the Iran war—the fallout of which has already notably splintered relations between Washington and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer
The king is naturally mindful of his government’s longstanding and well-known position on the prevention of nuclear proliferation.”
Charles agrees with me even more than I do, we’re never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon.”
You recently commented, Mr President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German. Dare I say that, if it wasn’t for us, you’d be speaking French,
We’re doing a little Middle East work right now … and we’re doing very well.... They know that, and they’ve known it right now, very powerfully.”
The King is naturally mindful of his Government’s long-standing and well-known position on the prevention of nuclear proliferation.”
We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we’re never going to let that opponent ever—Charles agrees with me, even more than I do—we’re never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon, they know that,
We're doing a little Middle East work right now and we're doing very well,
You recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German,
Dare I say that, if it wasn’t for us, you’d be speaking French,
Tonight, we are here to renew an indispensable allowance which has long been a cornerstone of prosperity and security for both British and American citizens,
'Scary Day in America': Democrats Criticize Plan for Trump's Face to Appear on Some U.S. Passports
Gas prices are at their highest level in four years. What is Sec. [Marco] Rubio focused on? Putting Trump’s face on U.S. passports,
The irony: Many Americans can’t even afford to travel right now. Airfares are up, gas is up, and families are paying the price for a failed war of choice,
It will feature a handsome, high-quality photo of me,
If Trump cared about lowering costs as much as he does putting his face and name on everything, gas would be $1, and we'd be paying $25 a month for groceries,

Democrats Accuse Hegseth of Misleading Public on Iran War
The biggest adversary we face at this point are the reckless, feckless and defeatist words of congressional Democrats and some Republicans,

Whoa, whoa, whoa. We had to start this war, you just said, because the nuclear weapon was an imminent threat. Now you’re saying it was completely obliterated?”
The phony rationale that these attacks are about fentanyl trafficking,... I don't believe a word of it,
Secretary Hegseth, you have been lying to the American public about this war from day one, and so has the President,
Here we are in a full-scale Mideast war, and we’ve seen the costs of that,
We made a mistake and that happens in war,
You don’t know what we’re paying in terms of gas. You don’t know what we’re paying in terms of food. Your $25 billion number is totally off. It’s the incompetence,
Now you’re saying that it was completely obliterated?”
You betrayed a lot of that MAGA base,
Simply saying we've already won and boasting and bragging trying to belittle and insult the entire world,... that's not going to get us to the posture that we need.”
Bondi to Testify in House Epstein Probe Next Month
Robert Garcia of California, called calling the former Attorney General’s testimony and cooperation in the probe “crucial” due to what they described as her “extensive personal knowledge” about the Administration’s handling of the so-called Epstein files
Well look at this … 45 minutes after we file contempt charges against Pam Bondi for defying her subpoena to testify, @GOPoversight finally announces a date for her appearance,
Pam Bondi has illegally defied our committee, skipped her deposition, and has refused to cooperate. We have introduced a contempt resolution, to hold her accountable,
Today, we're marking up legislation to tackle fraud at the federal level and all Democrats can talk about is Epstein,
The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse deserve answers,... and the American people deserve the truth.”
This Blue Antelope May Be Next on the De-Extinction List
That blue pelt was irresistible to the European colonists who poured into the bluebuck’s native South Africa, and it took them only about 150 years—from 1650 to 1800—to hunt the animal to extinction
We filtered them and got to about three million variants,
Bringing the bluebuck back is only half the work,
That matters enormously for species where every individual counts,
African antelopes have long been neglected in global conservation,

Trump’s Grip on GOP Faces 3 Big Tests in May
I would simply defer to the state legislatures and the governors to determine what they think is appropriate … whether it be in Indiana, Texas, California or anywhere else,
Jimmy Kimmel Speaks Out After Melania Trump ‘Widow’ Joke Criticism
It was a very light roast joke about the fact that he’s almost 80, and she’s younger than I am. It was not, by any stretch of the definition, a call to assassination, and they know that.”
Donald Trump is allowed to say whatever he wants to say, as are you and as am I, as are all of us, because under the First Amendment, we have, as Americans, a right to free speech,
You know how sometimes you wake up in the morning and the First Lady puts out a statement demanding you be fired from your job,
It will be funny. It will be entertaining,
I am sorry that you and the President and everyone in that room on Saturday went through that. I really am,
The Number of Words You Say in a Day Is Shrinking
At first I said, ‘That can’t be right. We need to go back and check the data again,
We estimated the difference at about 330 fewer words spoken per day for each year during that time period,
When we have these little interactions, it puts us in a good mood and helps us feel more connected,
Many of us are shy and socially anxious, and so we need a little nudge to put ourselves in these uncomfortable situations,
When we have these interactions, they tend to go much better than we thought they would, and we come away from them with a sense that people are generally good,
All these ways in which we have rendered our daily lives more efficient may have also resulted in rendering our social lives more rudimentary,
We can shop for groceries now without talking with a checkout person, and in restaurants we can sometimes order and pay without ever talking with a server,
All these little conversations add up to us feeling like people are generally good, I can talk to anybody, and I have a place in this world,
George Clooney Defends Kimmel After Trump Again Calls for Late-Night Host to be Fired
I would argue that Karoline Leavitt didn't mean shots should be fired, right? She was making a joke. Fair enough,
Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand,
Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done."
I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was canceled,
Trump Says Americans Have 'No Closer Friends Than the British' as Ice Thaws During Royal Visit
I was thinking of going, but they said, I don’t know, that might be a step too far. I would love to go. It’s not supposed to be protocol, but I would love to be with you,
In a few hours, His Majesty will stand in the heart of the United States Capitol as the very first British king ever to address a joint session of the United States Congress,
In the centuries since we won our independence, Americans have had no closer friends than the British.”
Before we ever proclaimed our independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts [of] moral courage, and it came from a small but mighty Kingdom from across the sea,
He ruins relationships. We are very surprised. This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with.”
Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin Roosevelt famously met on a ship in the North Atlantic to outline a vision for the free world after World War II,
Tim Heidecker on His Plans for Infowars, and What He’s Going To Do With Alex Jones’ Stuff
The families of the victims of the 2012 elementary school massacre successfully sued Jones for damages exceeding $1.3 billion for spreading lies about the deadly incident, which prompted years of harassment from his followers

Scoop: Democrats May Sue Trump Over 'Illegal' Iran War
The internal discussions, which have not been previously reported, were described by lawmakers as still in the early stages but could intensify in the coming weeks if the President presses ahead with military operations after a critical 60-day deadline expires on May 1
It would be a violation of a law that Congress passed,
At the moment, we’re concerned with what’s on the board this week.”
If we don't have standing,... then it would mean that, basically, this law could never be enforced.”
That’s the only strategy that we’re considering at this point,
Congress would definitely have standing,
The Supreme Court has been very selective about offering Congress standing to any litigation,
I’m absolutely in favor of a lawsuit,
Republicans who have been saying that mark is important to them, they'll have an opportunity to demonstrate that in the vote on resolution,
