Now, a small group of scientists and thinkers believes there could be an alternative, a way to save the president—and the rest of us—from him- or herself. As soon as technology advances far enough, they think we should put a computer in charge of the country. Yes, it sounds nuts. But the idea is that artificial intelligence could make America’s big, complicated decisions better than any person could, without the drama or shortsightedness that we grudgingly accept from our human presidents.

Across much of America and especially in the normally chilly north, the country went through the winter months without, well, winter. In parka strongholds Burlington, Vermont, and Portland, Maine, the thermometer never plunged below zero. The state of Minnesota called the last three months “the lost winter,” warmer than its infamous “year without a winter” in 1877-1878. Michigan, where mosquitos were biting in February, offered disaster loans to businesses hit by a lack of snow. The Great Lakes set records for low winter ice, with Erie and Ontario “essentially ice-free.” For a wide swath of the country from Colorado to New Jersey, and Texas to the Carolinas, spring leaves are arriving three to four weeks earlier than the 1991-2020 average, according to the National Phenology Network, which tracks the timing of plants, insects and other natural signs of the seasons.

Allies of Leonard Leo have mounted a monthslong offensive against the man investigating the judicial activist’s network: Washington, D.C., Attorney General Brian Schwalb. Since news of the probe broke last August, the GOP chairs of powerful congressional committees launched their own investigation of Schwalb’s investigation; conservative media wrote articles criticizing Schwalb on unrelated crime issues — based on a social media post from a top Leo lieutenant; and a group of his Republican law enforcement peers sent letters warning Schwalb to stand down.

The Los Angeles Police Department is at the center of bombshell accusations from the mother of an officer killed during a training drill. Shirley Huffman believes her son, Houston Tipping, was killed because he knew too much about the rape allegations against his colleagues at LAPD. Huffman’s attorney Bradley Gage said Tipping was an instructor at the police academy and was conducting a training exercise when he was gravely injured. "After he became the instructor there. One of the accused officers signed up for that class, went into that class, engaged in intentional acts against my client, including putting him into a headlock, which he admits in his deposition testimony that we have, and also picking him up in what is known colloquially as a ‘pile driver’ wrestling move," Gage said. Tipping ended up dying in the hospital days after the training incident in 2022.

In a split ruling that has major implications for hundreds of child sex abuse victims, the Louisiana Supreme Court has struck down a law that allowed victims to file civil lawsuits over abuse that happened decades ago. Child molestation victims and their advocates were devastated by the 4-3 ruling. "Once more the victims and survivors of childhood sex abuse have been denied justice,” said Richard Windmann, president of Survivors of Childhood Sex Abuse. “The institutionalized, systematic, and wholesale rape of our children by these organizations is self-evident. Now we move on to the United States Supreme Court. The final stop is to see if we, as human beings, are going to let these atrocities stand and continue to happen." “Predators and institutions that protect predators are going to continue with their bad practices,” said Kathryn Robb of ChildUSA, an advocacy group that helped pass lookback or revival windows across the country. “They're going to continue with their cover-up. They're going to continue with putting children in harm's way. And so I'm saddened. I'm saddened by this decision.” The laws were upheld as constitutional in 24 states and the District of Columbia. Louisiana now joins Utah as the only state to find them unconstitutional, Robb said.
