House Republicans roll out health care plan as ACA subsidies near expiration
WASHINGTON — House Republicans unveiled a health care package late Friday as Congress faces a year-end deadline with no agreement on extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies that lower insurance costs for millions of Americans.

Trump signs executive order blocking states from enforcing own regulations around AI
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order that blocks states from enforcing their own regulations around artificial intelligence and instead aims to create a “single national framework” for AI.“This is an executive order that orders aspects of your administration to take decisive action to ensure that AI can operate within a single national framework in this country, as opposed to being subject to state level regulation that could potentially cripple the industry,” White House aide Will Scharf said of the executive order in the Oval Office.The order could have far-reaching effects on US efforts to dominate the nascent technology, which has already become a significant part of the economy and the stock market but which also still remains untested in...
