GOP legislators’ growing comfort with resisting Trump may be growing due to his plunging poll numbers, writes AEI’s @kevinrkosar https://t.co/gUcvpnk2Hj

The burden of proof that AI can engage in introspection—can form a self-image, as humans can—and experience emotions is on the believer, not the skeptic, writes AEI’s @MichaelRStrain https://t.co/VQHvyO9nve

My latest @WSJFreeEx: The longer the phony cease-fire continues, the weaker U.S. deterrence becomes—thereby undermining Mr. Trump’s achievements in Operation Epic Fury. Link below.

I wish that Pope Leo XIV had spent more time on AI’s enormous potential to improve human welfare. I also wish that the Holy Father had more faith in markets and less in government. But ultimately, these disagreements are less important than the moral and intellectual foundations of Leo’s first encyclical.

In a world captivated by technological advances, the Pope emphasizes the primacy of each person’s inherent and inestimable dignity. And amid the frenzy around picking AI winners and the hype about AI possibly eclipsing humanity, Leo asks us to protect the common good and challenges us to embrace our weakness and frailty. As he puts it, “we must remember that humanity flourishes not despite limitations, but often through them.”

In Magnifica Humanitas, the Holy Father seeks to shift attention away from the marvels and terrors of AI and toward the magnificence of humanity. With all eyes now on the technology, this message is needed and welcome. AI tools are impressive. But they are pedestrian compared to the grandeur of a human being.

By reintroducing US theater nuclear forces to East Asia—first in South Korea, and then more gradually in Japan — Washington can reassure its anxious allies, while also bolstering its own national security interests, writes AEI’s @BalzerKyle https://t.co/Xcjxu1nTwX

AEI’s @natmalkus on declining test scores: We see everybody peaking in that 2012-2015 time frame. It’s not a cascade. It happened across the board.

Congress must fix the annual federal budget dysfunction and bring its power of the purse into alignment with the defense of the nation, writes AEI’s Elaine McCusker. https://t.co/qep4W96yYR

Last week, I sat down with my friend @ScottGottliebMD and @AEI for a wide-ranging conversation on FDA modernization, pandemic preparedness, AI in medicine, public trust, and the next wave of cell and gene therapies.

American medicine is at an inflection point. The question is whether our institutions and policy frameworks can keep up.

AEI’s @TobiasPeterAEI: In the housing sector, we have not been building enough starter homes. We need to get back to that. Unfortunately, these bills that are currently floating around on the federal side, I’m afraid they’re not going to achieve that.

[American Enterprise Institute @AEI]

AEI’s @continetti: Voters are always asking, “What have you done for us lately?” Unless the president can show real gains in the Strait of Hormuz, and on the price level and income growth, it is an uphill climb for Republicans in the fall.

We need a culture that instills a sense of mutual obligation—a recognition that we are responsible for more than our own welfare, reputation, and brand, writes AEI's @dcoxpolls
