America is in a global artificial intelligence (AI) race. The stakes are historically high with economic and national security implications. As President Trump declared in July, “Whether we like it or not, we are suddenly engaged in a fast-paced competition to build and refine this groundbreaking technology that will determine so much about the future of civilization.” The President, First Lady, and the Trump Administration are taking decisive steps to ensure America is prepared and positioned to win one of the most consequential competitions among nations in modern history, determining future global dominance. On Thursday, First Lady Melania Trump hosted a meeting of the White House Task Force on Artificial Intelligence Education. Michael Kratsios, Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, serves as the chair of the task force. Other members include the Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary of Labor, Secretary of Education, Secretary of Energy, Director of the National Science Foundation, Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, Special Advisor for AI and Crypto, Assistant to the President for Policy, and Assistant to the President for the Office of the First Lady.

As the executive order states, the President and First Lady recognize that “to ensure the United States remains a global leader in this technological revolution, we must provide our Nation’s youth with opportunities to cultivate the skills and understanding necessary to adapt to and thrive in an increasing digital society.” K-12 education and workforce development training are foundational avenues for this to occur. Students need to not just learn about artificial intelligence; education in America must be modernized to incorporate this rapidly advancing technology, thereby personalizing and enhancing student learning. While artificial intelligence tools are the latest form of student academic dishonesty, they cannot be excluded from the learning process in the future based on fear. Students must be taught and held accountable for the appropriate use. Developers are designing educational technology tools that strengthen critical thinking and other essential cognitive skills — enhancing rather than supplanting learning — to meet the quickly accelerating market demand. With clarity and candor, the Trump Administration has cast the vision for charting a strategic path forward: “Early learning and exposure to AI concepts not only demystifies this powerful technology but also sparks curiosity and creativity, preparing students to become active and responsible participants in the workforce of the future and nurturing the next generation of American AI innovators to propel our Nation to new heights of scientific and economic achievement.” As part of promptly putting this plan into action, First Lady Melania Trump recently launched the Presidential AI Challenge, which aims to cultivate interest and expertise in artificial intelligence technology among elementary through high school students and educators. Mrs. Trump beautifully articulates that the “President’s National Artificial Intelligence Challenge invites every student in America — from kindergarten to 12th grade — to unleash their imagination and showcase the spirit of American innovation.” Speaking directly to students, she explains, “our extraordinary educators will guide and empower you through this process to build a brighter, stronger future for us all.” Acknowledging that America’s K-12 education institutions are largely unprepared to step into this moment, the Trump Administration has created crucial public-private partnerships to provide resources and advanced technological expertise and tools necessary to bring this vision into reality. Already, over 135 companies and organizations have signed the “Pledge to America’s Youth: Investing in AI Education.” Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced at the White House Task Force meeting that $150 million of the company’s $1 billion pledge, made in August, will support education and workforce training through AI education grants. This includes $2 million to the Flourish Fund, which provides financial support for nonprofit organizations that assist foster care youth with workforce development tools as they age out of the system. Additionally, it includes $3 million for Code.org to incorporate artificial intelligence features into its curriculum. Winning the AI race isn’t merely aspirational. The Trump Administration is working with undeniable resolve because winning the AI race is imperative for ensuring the American Dream remains alive and thriving for future generations. In January, the President hit the ground running, signing the “Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence” executive order. In July, the White House released the “Winning the AI Race: America’s AI Action Plan.” These executive orders are key, setting the stage to advance artificial intelligence nationwide through accelerating innovation, building infrastructure, and leading the world in diplomacy and security. The action plan asserts, “Winning the AI race will usher in a new golden age of human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security for the American people.” President Trump has proven he can win, is winning, and will never stop working to win for the American people. And in the race for AI, as in every fight for America’s future, his leadership is driving our nation not only to lead the world, but also to secure a new era of strength and prosperity. * * * Dr. Keri D.

The Daily Wire has the youngest audience of any English-language news outlet in the United States, several decades younger than the median-age audience of other conservative news sites. The average Daily Wire reader is 42 years old, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. That’s the second-youngest audience of any American news outlet, trailing only Univision. The Spanish-language network’s median viewer is 39. That’s no surprise, given their base is largely Hispanic — one of the youngest demographic groups in the country. Telemundo, also a Spanish network, follows closely at 42, tied with The Daily Wire. The Daily Wire has the youngest median audience of any conservative news site. The average Fox News viewer is 55, while the Tucker Carlson Network shuffles in at 57. Compare that with Newsmax and Breitbart, where the median ages clock in at 63 and 62, respectively. Younger Americans are also tuning out of cable and legacy networks, and turning toward digital-first platforms and independent thinkers. CNN lands at 50, well above the national adult median age of 47. CBS, NBC, and ABC all bring in folks in their late 50s. The Daily Wire’s popularity with young Americans comes as the demographic increasingly tunes out news altogether. “Younger Americans are also most likely to turn to news influencers, listen to podcasts and generally follow the news less closely,” Pew wrote in a report on its survey. “In 2022, only 19% of 18- to 29-year-olds said they followed the news all or most of the time, compared with 64% of adults 65 and older.” The Daily Wire is set to make new inroads to younger audiences this week with the premiere of The Isabel Brown Show.

The United States Supreme Court allowed President Donald Trump on Monday to keep a Democratic member of the Federal Trade Commission away from her post for now, temporarily pausing a judicial order that required the reinstatement of the commissioner Trump has sought to oust. The court’s action, known as an administrative stay, gives the justices additional time to consider Trump’s formal request to let him fire Rebecca Slaughter from the consumer protection agency that enforces antitrust law prior to her term expiring. The stay was issued by Chief Justice John Roberts, who handles emergency filings arising in Washington, D.C. Roberts asked Slaughter to file a response by next Monday. The Justice Department made the request on Thursday after Washington-based U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan blocked Trump’s firing of Slaughter. AliKhan ruled in July that Trump’s attempt to remove Slaughter did not comply with removal protections in federal law. Congress put such tenure protections in place to give certain regulatory agencies a degree of independence from presidential control. In a 2-1 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld the judge’s ruling on September 2, prompting the administration’s request to the Supreme Court. The lower courts ruled that the statutory protections shielding FTC members from being removed without cause conform with the U.S. Constitution in light of a 1935 Supreme Court precedent in a case called Humphrey’s Executor v. United States. In that case, the court ruled that a president lacks unfettered power to remove FTC commissioners, faulting then-President Franklin Roosevelt’s firing of an FTC commissioner for policy differences. The administration, in its Supreme Court filing, argued that “the modern FTC exercises far more substantial powers than the 1935 FTC,” and thus its members can be fired at will by the president. The court, in a similar ruling in May, said the Constitution gives the president wide latitude to fire government officials who wield executive power on his behalf. The administration has repeatedly asked the justices this year to allow implementation of Trump policies impeded by lower courts. The Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, has sided with the administration in almost every case that it has been called upon to review since Trump returned to the presidency in January.

A father who found himself at the center of a viral home run ball dispute says he’s “still in disbelief” after what was supposed to be a special father-son moment at a Phillies game turned into a nationwide backlash. Drew Feltwell, who grew up in New Jersey but now lives in Florida, raced over to grab a home run ball hit by Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Harrison Bader at Friday’s game hosted by the Miami Marlins. But after he gave the ball to his son, Lincoln, an irate woman dubbed “Phillies Karen” stormed over and demanded he give it to her. Eventually, Feltwell gave in and handed the ball to the woman. This sparked outrage online and led to a campaign to dox and shame her for her actions.  A Phillies fan retrieves a home run ball for his son and this woman is furious she did not get the ball pic.twitter.com/kDMMJrw2R5 — Jomboy Media (@JomboyMedia) September 6, 2025 The Feltwell family has been treated to many gifts in the wake of the baseball controversy, including a meeting with Bader, who gave Lincoln a signed baseball bat. A rep from the Marlins also gave Lincoln a bag of merchandise, and entrepreneur Marcus Lemonis wrote on X that he’d be buying the family World Series tickets and an RV. Going home with a signed bat from Bader pic.twitter.com/pCaXHSjLgL — Philadelphia Phillies (@Phillies) September 6, 2025 Feltwell told NBC10 Philadelphia that they were celebrating Lincoln’s 10th birthday. “We’re just trying to make this week about him,” he said. “I felt like super dad putting that ball in his glove and giving him a hug.” The father said the woman began screaming at him, saying, “That’s my ball!” “Still in disbelief that she walked down there like that,” he told the outlet. “Just trying to set an example of how to de-escalate a situation in front of my son, I guess.” He said he later apologized to Lincoln about his decision to hand over the baseball. “I wish I had the ball for my son to put in his room next to the bat, but if I had the ball, I probably wouldn’t have gotten the bat, so it worked out fine,” Feltwell added, saying the woman was booed out of the stadium shortly after the confrontation took place. “I hope that ball means a lot to her,” he said. There’s been some back and forth online over how the situation was handled, who was in the right, and whether the backlash went too far. Several people were misidentified as the woman who demanded the baseball. A woman named Cheryl Richardson-Wagner insists she wasn’t Phillies Karen. “OK everyone … I’m not the crazy Philly Mom (but I sure would love to be as thin as she is and move as fast) …. And I’m a Red Sox fan,” she shared on Facebook. After one rumor took hold that the Phillies fan was a Hammonton School District employee, the district also issued a statement.  “The woman identified on social media as ‘Phillies Karen’ is not, and has never been an employee of the Hammonton Public Schools located in Hammonton, New Jersey,” the district said. “Anyone who works for our school district, attended as a student or lives in our community would obviously have caught the ball bare-handed in the first place, avoiding this entire situation!”

Princess Kate debuted a beautiful new hue just after going blonde. Kate has had a busy week after returning from a long summer break with Prince William and their three children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7. On September 4, she and William spent the day visiting the new gardens at the Natural History Museum. And this weekend, she was cheering in the stands while watching the Women’s Rugby World Cup match between England and Australia. Kate wowed fans when she stepped out to tour the gardens with fresh blonde locks. Then she wowed them again when she rooted for England with a new chestnut hue.

SUNNINGDALE, ENGLAND – SEPTEMBER 8: Catherine, Princess of Wales and Prince William, Prince of Wales listen as they visit the National Federation of Women’s Institute (WI) to commemorate the three-year anniversary of the death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8, 2025 in Sunningdale, England. (Photo by Alastair Grant – WPA Pool/Getty Images) The royal fashion icon had first sparked blonde speculations while she was on holiday in Scotland. She was spotted driving around near Balmoral Castle on August 24th, and photos seemed to hint at a haircolor change. It wasn’t until she made her first official post-holiday outing that fans knew that she had officially gone blonde. While the princess’s blonde ambition was short-lived, we love every look she wears, and we look forward to what she’ll do next.  This story’s featured image is by Karwai Tang/WireImage.
