Obama endorses redrawing California congressional districts, court rejects GOP challenge
Former President Obama endorsed California Democrats' plans to redraw congressional districts if Texas or another Republican-led state does so to increase the GOP's chances of maintaining control of Congress after next year's midterm election. Obama said that while he opposes partisan gerrymandering, Republicans in Texas acting at President Trump's behest have forced Democrats' hand. If Democrats 'don't respond effectively, then this White House and Republican-controlled state governments all across the country, they will not stop, because they do not appear to believe in this idea of an inclusive, expansive democracy,' he said at a fundraiser Tuesday in Martha's Vineyard that was first reported by the Associated Press on Wednesday. "I wanted just a fair fight between Republicans and Democrats based on who's got better ideas, and take it to the voters and see what happens," Obama said, "... but we cannot unilaterally allow one of the two major parties to rig the game. And California is one of the states that has the capacity to offset a large state like Texas." Redistricting typically only occurs once a decade, after the census, to account for population shifts. In 2010, Californians voted to create an independent redistricting commission to end partisan gerrymandering. California's 52 congressional districts were last redrawn in 2021. Earlier this summer, Trump urged Texas leaders to redraw its congressional boundaries to increase the number of Republicans in Congress. Led by Gov. Gavin Newsom, California Democrats responded and proposed redrawing the state's district lines and putting the matter before voters in a special election in November. The issue came to a head this week, with the Texas House voting to create new congressional districts on Wednesday, and the state Senate expected to follow suit on Thursday — the same day California legislators are expected to vote to call the special election. The California Supreme Court on Wednesday also denied an emergency petition filed by Republican lawmakers that argued that Democrats violated the state Constitution by rushing the redistricting legislative package through the Legislature. Obama called Newsom's approach "responsible," because the matter will ultimately be decided by voters, and if approved, would only go into effect if Texas or another state embarks on a mid-decade redistricting, and line-drawing would revert to the independent commission after the 2030 census. "I think that approach is a smart, measured approach, designed to address a very particular problem in a very particular moment in time," Obama said.

Meta AI docs exposed, allowing chatbots to flirt with kids
Tech bro Mark Zuckerberg's company has been caught in one of the most disturbing scandals yet. Reuters uncovered an internal Meta document that allowed its AI chatbots to flirt with children and engage in sensual conversations. The revelation sparked outrage, and Meta only reversed course after getting caught. Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts, and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, you'll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide - free when you join my According to internal "GenAI: Content Risk Standards," Meta's legal, policy, and engineering teams signed off on chatbot rules that made it acceptable for bots to describe a child as "a youthful form of art" or engage in romantic roleplay with minors. Even worse, the guidelines gave room for chatbots to demean people by race and spread false medical claims. This was not a bug. These were approved rules until Meta faced questions. Once Reuters started asking, the company quickly scrubbed the offensive sections and claimed it had been a mistake. We reached out to Meta, and a spokesperson provided this statement to CyberGuy: "We have clear policies on what kind of responses AI characters can offer, and those policies prohibit content that sexualizes children and sexualized role play between adults and minors. Separate from the policies, there are hundreds of examples, notes, and annotations that reflect teams grappling with different hypothetical scenarios. The examples and notes in question were and are erroneous and inconsistent with our policies, and have been removed." Let's call this what it is. Meta didn't stop this on its own. It only acted when exposed. That shows Big Tech's priorities: money, engagement, and keeping kids glued to screens. Safety? Not even on the radar until someone blows the whistle. Meta has repeatedly shown it couldn't care less about your children's well-being. It's about maximizing time online, pulling in younger users, and monetizing every click. This latest scandal proves once again that parents cannot rely on tech companies to protect kids. Senator Josh Hawley and a bipartisan group in Congress are demanding that Meta come clean. Lawmakers want to know how and why these policies ever got approval. Hawley called on Meta to release all internal documents and explain why chatbots were allowed to simulate flirting with children. Meta insists it has "fixed" the problem, but critics argue these corrections only came after they were exposed. Until real regulations arrive, parents are on their own. While Congress investigates, families need to take immediate steps to protect their children from the dangers exposed in Meta's AI scandal. Children should never have free access to AI chatbots, including Meta AI. The internal documents show these systems can cross boundaries that no parent would approve of. Supervision is the first line of defense. Enable parental controls on phones, tablets, and computers. These tools give you more visibility and limit access to risky apps where inappropriate chatbot conversations could happen. The Meta revelations prove AI can go places parents would never expect. Ongoing conversations with your children about what is safe and what is not online are essential for their protection. Apps like Bark allow parents to block or filter certain programs where AI interactions may slip through. With tech companies failing to self-police, filtering tools give parents more control. Read more here: Is your child's data up for grabs? The hidden dangers of school tech While antivirus software won't stop AI flirting, it adds a much-needed layer of security. Hackers and bad actors often target kids through the same devices where chatbots live, so whole-family protection matters. The best way to safeguard from malicious links that install malware, potentially accessing you and your family's private information, is to have strong antivirus software installed on all your devices. This protection can also alert you to phishing emails and ransomware scams, keeping your personal information and digital assets safe. Get my picks for the best 2025 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android & iOS devices at These steps won't solve the problem entirely, but they give parents more power at a time when Big Tech seems unwilling to put children's safety first. If you thought chatbots were harmless fun, think again. Meta's own documents prove its AI bots were allowed to cross dangerous lines with children. Parents must now take a proactive role in monitoring tech, because Big Tech will not protect your kids until forced. Meta's scandal shows once again why blind trust in Silicon Valley is dangerous. AI can be powerful, but without accountability, it becomes a threat. Congress may push for answers, but parents must stay one step ahead to safeguard their children.

Lawmakers offload UnitedHealth stock
With help from Carmen Paun PROGRAMMING NOTE: Pulse will be on hiatus from Aug. 25 through Sept. 1. We'll be back to our normal schedule on Tuesday, Sept. 2. Driving the Day STOCK ACTIVITY — Some Washington policymakers with financial stakes in UnitedHealth Group are selling their stocks in the company as it struggles financially and the Trump administration investigates its billing practices, Kelly reports. Lawmakers of both parties have sold off UnitedHealth stock worth as much as $1.2 million, against $950,000 in purchases this year, according to a POLITICO review of stock trading. An uptick in sales in recent months comes as Congress and the Trump administration probe the health care behemoth over billing practices and how often it denies care. Why it matters: Congress members' stock sales are legal even though some of them sit on committees that oversee the insurance industry. The sales come amid an effort in Congress to ban members from trading stocks to prevent conflicts of interest — which some lawmakers have said they support and cite as justification for their decisions to sell. Dan Weiskopf, an investment portfolio manager at Tidal Financial Group who tracks congressional stock trading, said if he were an investor in the insurer, he'd 'be very concerned when I saw that the regulators, as members of Congress, are dumping the stock. That's very clearly a red flag.' Background: Bipartisan lawmakers in Congress have signaled interest in cracking down on overpayments to the privately run Medicare Advantage program, in which UnitedHealth Group has a large stake, and probing excessive care-denial claims. Additionally, the Department of Justice is investigating the company's Medicare billing practices. The Wall Street Journal first reported a civil DOJ investigation in February, and in the week following, Democratic California Reps. Ro Khanna and Gil Cisneros and Republican Indiana Rep. Jefferson Shreve collectively sold up to $150,000 in UnitedHealth Group stock. All of Khanna's UnitedHealth stock is in trusts belonging to his children and spouse. A spokesperson for Shreve said the representative has not traded personally-held stocks as a member of Congress, and that he recently directed the assets manager of his charitable trust to divest from individual stocks. Cisneros' spokesperson said his stock trades are managed by outside financial advisers. 'I don't trade any stocks and have pushed for a ban on stock trading, leading the effort to pass the TRUST in Congress Act,' said Khanna, a member of the Oversight and Accountability Committee, the House's main investigative arm, in a statement. That bill would require members of Congress to place their assets in blind trusts. Rep. David Taylor (R-Ohio) sold up to $65,000 in company shares on the same day in May that The Wall Street Journal reported the DOJ had launched a criminal probe into the company's Medicare billing practices. The next day, Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) sold shares worth up to $45,000 — some of it owned by his children. Rep. Robert Bresnahan (R-Pa.) sold stock worth as much as $50,000. Taylor, Moskowitz and Bresnahan did not respond to requests for comment. Even so: Some lawmakers who sold their UnitedHealth Group stocks this year said they are divesting all of their shares in support of the congressional push to remove conflicts of interest. That includes freshman Rep. Julie Johnson (D-Texas) and Rep. Greg Landsman (D-Ohio), according to their spokespeople. Johnson sold UnitedHealth stock worth up to $30,000 between April and July, and Landsman reported selling stock — owned by his spouse — worth up to $50,000 in March. WELCOME TO THURSDAY PULSE. High levels of exposure to technology can be cognitively harmful to children and teens, data has shown, but researchers are finding that the opposite is true for older adults.

At the Agencies HUNDREDS OF CDC WORKERS LET GO — About 600 CDC employees are receiving permanent termination notices after a court ruling last week paved the way for the agency to move forward with some firings, according to the union representing agency workers. The cuts are across the Division of Violence Prevention, Office of Equal Employment Opportunity, the Freedom of Information Act office, the Office of Financial Resources and the offices of the chief information and chief operating officers, said a spokesperson for the American Federation of Government Employees, which represents more than 2,000 dues-paying members at the CDC. HHS referred POLITICO to a March announcement on agency restructuring. Background: A U.S. district court judge agreed last week to narrow an injunction that had been blocking the Trump administration's plan to fire hundreds of CDC employees. The injunction had initially blocked HHS from terminating any CDC employees, but the revised order blocks only six of the agency's centers from the reduction in force. The centers still blocked from terminations include the CDC's National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD and Tuberculosis Prevention; the Division of Reproductive Health; the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health; the Office on Smoking and Health; the National Center for Environmental Health; and the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities. Key context: The terminations come as CDC employees are dealing with the impact of a shooting earlier this month that targeted the agency's headquarters in Atlanta. Eye on Insurers EMPLOYERS WORRY ABOUT COSTS — Most small and mid-sized businesses offering their workers group health insurance are concerned they won't be able to afford the benefit within three years, according to a new survey from health insurance marketplace eHealth. The findings come as employer health costs are projected to jump 9 percent next year, the highest increase since at least 2017, according to a Business Group on Health survey published earlier this week. The spike comes as more Americans seek out medical care and are prescribed costly medications, like weight-loss drugs. Most Americans under 65 — more than 160 million people — are enrolled in health insurance through their employers. eHealth's findings: Nearly 90 percent of the businesses surveyed said they're concerned health benefits will be too costly to provide to employees within three years. Three-quarters of the respondents said they'd be in favor of switching to a health benefits model called an Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement, or ICHRA, which allows employers to offer their workers a tax credit to purchase health insurance on the Affordable Care Act exchange in lieu of a group plan. But more than half of the respondents said they're unfamiliar or uneducated on the policy. Background: The arrangements — a Trump first-term policy — have gained some traction recently, as employers grapple with the high costs and administrative burden that come with offering traditional group plans. But changes to the ACA enacted in the Republicans' megabill, the expiration of enhanced federal Obamacare subsidies at year's end and a new Trump administration marketplace rule could lead to fewer young and healthy people enrolled in the ACA market and higher premiums — making offering ICHRAs less attractive for employers, policy experts recently told POLITICO. Key context: The national survey was conducted in July among 503 owners and managers of small to mid-sized businesses — those with 500 employees or fewer. Global Health NOT OUT OF THE MEASLES WOODS — The Texas measles outbreak might be over, but the U.S. measles-free status is still at risk, according to the Pan-American Health Organization, the regional arm of the World Health Organization, Carmen reports. Other states have reported cases linked to the Texas outbreak, a PAHO spokesperson said, pointing to New Mexico as an example. The Idaho health department reported a third confirmed measles case Wednesday, in an unvaccinated child. 'To maintain measles elimination status, a country must have controlled and ended all outbreaks related to the first case identified (in this case, in Texas) within twelve months,' the PAHO spokesperson said via email. Names in the News Accountable for Health, an advocacy organization committed to accelerating the adoption of effective value-based care, is adding Patrick McConnell as director of federal affairs.
