Stop New York's Attack on 3D Printing

New York's proposed 2026-2027 budget currently includes provisions that will require all 3D printers sold in the state to run print-blocking censorware—software that surveils every print for forbidden designs. This policy would also create felony charges for possessing or sharing certain design files. The vote on the state budget could happen as early as next week, so New Yorkers need to act fast and demand that their Assemblymembers and Senators strip this provision from the budget.

8 children dead after a mass shooting in Louisiana, police say

Authorities in Louisiana say a gunman killed eight children in domestic-related shootings at different two homes in the city of Shreveport early Sunday. The children killed range in age from 1 to about 14 years old. Shreveport Police spokesperson Chris Bordelon says a total of 10 people were shot. Officials said they were still gathering details about the crime scenes that extended across three locations. Police say the gunman later died after a chase with officers who fired at the suspect. They say the suspect stole a car while leaving the scene of the shootings. The mayor of Shreveport calls it a tragic situation, maybe the worst the city has ever seen.

A scramble to rebuild depleted ranks at the FBI and Justice Department

The FBI and Justice Department are scrambling to rebuild a depleted workforce after a wave of departures over the last year. In response, leaders are easing hiring requirements and accelerating recruitment in ways that some current and former officials see as a lowering of long-accepted standards. The FBI has turned to social media campaigns to attract applicants, while also condensing training for candidates from other federal agencies and relaxing internal requirements for support staff seeking to be agents. The Justice Department has opened the door to hiring prosecutors right out of law school to help fill vacancies in U.S. attorney’s offices.

Billionaire Steyer on spending binge in California governor's race

In the wide-open race for California governor, billionaire Tom Steyer is on a spending binge.

His competitors accuse him of trying to use his vast wealth to buy the state’s most powerful job. Steyer’s ads appear inescapable at times in heavily Democratic Los Angeles. Data compiled by advertising tracker AdImpact show Steyer has spent or booked over $115 million in ads for broadcast TV, cable and radio — nearly 30 times the amount of his nearest Democratic rival.

US importers can begin seeking refunds for nullified tariffs on Monday

A refund system for businesses that paid tariffs which the U.S. Supreme Court eventually struck down is scheduled to launch on Monday. U.S. Customs and Border Protection says importers and their brokers will be able to begin claiming refunds online beginning at 8 a.m. It’s the first step in a complicated process that also might eventually lead to refunds for consumers who were billed for some or all of the tariffs on products shipped to them from outside the United States. In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled in late February that President Donald Trump usurped Congress’ taxation authority when he set double-digit import tax rates on products from almost every other country.

Canadian prime minister urges changes to economic ties with US

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada’s strong economic ties to the U.S. were once a strength but are now a weakness that must be corrected. Carney spoke in a video address released Sunday about his government’s efforts to strengthen the Canadian economy by attracting new investments and signing trade deals with other countries. He said the world is more “dangerous and divided” and noted the U.S. has changed its approach to trade by raising tariffs to levels last seen in the Great Depression. Carney said tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump have impacted workers in such major industries as auto and steel and prompted businesses to hold back investments.

Iran Revolutionary Guard fully closes Strait of Hormuz and fires on ships trying to pass

Iran now says the Strait of Hormuz is fully closed until the end of the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports. Its Revolutionary Guard navy said Saturday night that any vessel \"approaching the Strait of Hormuz will be considered as cooperation with the enemy” and be targeted. Earlier Saturday, Iran fired on at least two ships trying to transit the crucial waterway. The developments come after the United States said it would continue its blockade. Meanwhile, Pakistani mediators are working to organize new negotiations between the countries. But Iran's deputy foreign minister tells the AP that Tehran isn't ready for new face-to-face talks.

Trump wants to stop states AI rules. This Utah Republican isn't listening

Doug Fiefia once worked at Google. Now he's a Utah state representative running to be a state senator. And like some other tech employees who've gone into politics, he's made regulating the artificial intelligence industry a campaign centerpiece. That's put him on a collision course with President Donald Trump’s administration. Earlier this year, it helped block the lawmaker's state proposal requiring companies to include child safety protocols. The White House wants a single national AI standard. But with no progress on that front in Congress, state lawmakers are struggling to address concerns about the game-changing technology.
