Rep. Tom Cole, a PhD in British history, is thrilled about the king’s visit, despite personal sacrifice: “I'm not allowed to smoke in my office either today or tomorrow,”, he said Mon. “It's out of respect for the king. Not by order of the king. It’s by order of the speaker.”

The Hilton donated the ~2600 dinners that went unserved at WHCD. They freeze dried the steak and lobster for longer shelf life before giving them to 2 shelters for abused women and children. HUGE thank you to the staff that worked through the night under terrible circumstances.

Every American should watch every second of this video. Thank you, @BenSasse.

Ever since the Pentagon-Anthropic drama, talk of AI nationalization has been growing. But what would this actually look like in practice? We spoke to a dozen former Pentagon and Trump administration officials, AI-policy experts, and legal scholars. Here's what they told us:

The New York Giants are building a DYNASTY. Jaxson Dart - 22 years old Malik Nabers - 22 years old Cam Skattebo - 24 years old Abdul Carter - 22 years old Arvell Reese - 20 years old Francis Mauigoa - 20 years old

European Council meeting. For the first time in years there are no Russians in the room. Huge relief.

It's true! I'll still be local, though, and staying in local journalism. Working with @51stnews has been a dream; I'm really pumped for what they're building. And it's *great* that they're hiring new reporters who bring new energy, new interests, and a new way of looking at D.C.

The transformation of Southwest DC

Parker Posey is hosting a new reality competition at Hulu from the producers behind “The Traitors.” “The Mob,” will follow celebrities as they check into an Italian villa — and proceed to “shake down, hustle and whack their way to win up to $250,000 in cash prizes. Every episode, they will tackle mob movie-inspired jobs to survive.” variety.com/2026/tv/news/p…

Donald Trump started the fight. Virginia finished it. Democrats will make him the centerpiece of the midterms, a clear reminder of the chaos he is bringing into people’s lives and why it is time to push back. He is the gift that keeps on giving.

If you read this and don’t understand why it’s happening it’s an opportunity to reset your understanding of how the real world works. The real world will need a ton of help actually getting agents going in the enterprise. Companies have legacy tech stacks they need to modernize, data in tons of fragmented tools, knowledge that isn’t captured or digitized, and change management needed to actually utilize agents effectively. And they have to do all this while still running their business day-to-day, unlike startups. This is why there is so much opportunity for companies (software or services) to actually deploy agents in specific domains and workflows. This remains a big opportunity for both existing services providers but also tons of new startups as well. Every new technology wave produces a new era of consulting firms that can deliver on that technology. It’s also why the FDE model is going to be alive and well for a long time because companies will want to have their vendor actually help drive the change management and implementation for their new workflows. The people aren’t going away. Far from it.
