Washington Post22-05-2025

The One Big Beautiful Bill, which contains many parts of President Donald Trump's agenda, faced a test of Republican unity on the House floor.
The House passed a sweeping budget proposal, dubbed the One Big Beautiful Bill, in a 215-214-1 vote on Thursday morning. Two Republicans voted against the bill, one voted 'present' and two did not vote.

The legislation advances many of President Donald Trump's top priorities, including extending the 2017 tax cuts enacted in his first term, expanding border enforcement, and implementing deep cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and other federal programs. If enacted, it would significantly reshape the U.S. economy and federal government.
The vote follows weeks of intraparty disputes, as Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) scrambled to broker enough compromises to unite a deeply fractured House GOP majority. Hardline conservatives, including members of the House Freedom Caucus, objected to the bill's cost and demanded steeper spending cuts, particularly to Medicaid, and a faster start to new work requirements.

Meanwhile, Republicans from high-tax, high-income states threatened to walk unless the bill raised the cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions, forcing leadership into a difficult balancing act between fiscal conservatives and blue state moderates.

Teaching AI isn't enough—we need to teach wisdom, too

Artificial intelligence is shaking the intellectual, emotional, and economic foundations of the world. A glance at mainstream or social media confirms that the world ahead will look nothing like the one we're leaving behind. Technological disruption is nothing new. From bronze smelting in Benin and steel forging in Japan to Themistocles's naval buildup in ancient Greece, history shows that transformative technologies spark societal shifts and national urgency. Today's urgency is AI. The White House's recent executive order (EO) on AI education echoes past anxieties—this time, about China's rapid advancement. You may have missed this EO amid the recent flood of them. But it's a pivotal moment. Though well-intentioned, the EO lacks the depth needed for a truly informed AI educational policy. The EO defines its mission as providing 'opportunities to cultivate the skills and understanding necessary to use and create the next generation of AI technology.' It outlines three imperatives: 'Expose our students to AI at an early age.' Train teachers to 'effectively incorporate AI into their teaching methods.' Promote AI literacy to 'develop an AI-ready workforce.' These steps are necessary. AI is a profound shift, one that exposes long-standing deficiencies in our educational system—particularly our neglect of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Still, the EO falls short in three key areas. Speaking as president and CEO of the Center of Science and Industry, a board member of the National Academies, and a lifelong STEM advocate, I say this: You cannot teach AI without also teaching critical thinking, ethics, and wisdom. Our national conversation must expand beyond technical training. As AI (and eventually artificial general intelligence) integrates into every part of life, we face a stark choice: Do we become passive consumers of knowledge, or do we intentionally cultivate wisdom? Technical proficiency alone turns us into carbon versions of AI. Instead, we need a cultural shift—one that champions critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and curiosity in classrooms, workplaces, and homes. The goal isn't just to understand AI, but to navigate the world it creates. Techno-optimism must be balanced with rigorous intellectual and moral interrogation—or the 'doomers' may be right. Though the EO doesn't address the human-AI relationship, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt—it's not a full policy, but a starting point. I hope future policy goes further, confronting AI's risks and outlining how education and society should respond—both philosophically and practically. For what it's worth, my ideal AI curriculum would include more than practical skills. It would explore: Martin Heidegger's insights on how technology shapes experience Nick Bostrom's ' paper clip ' thought experiment Shoshana Zuboff's critique of surveillance capitalism Soon, AI won't need to be taught—it will be omnipresent. In the 1990s, we trained students to use a mouse and browse the web. But intuitive design soon made that obsolete. The same is happening with AI—only faster. Rather than focus on today's tools, AI education should teach how to understand technology's evolution. Computer scientist Alan Kay once said, 'Technology is anything that was invented after you were born.' Maintaining global leadership requires more than technical prowess—it demands cultural vision. After Sputnik, America feared falling behind in the space race. In the 1990s, it was Japan. Now, it's China. But the true question is: Which nation will use AI to become the better society? French philosopher and diplomat Alexis de Tocqueville once said, 'America is great because it is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.' That quote echoes as I reflect on the EO and our future. To lead in AI, we must prioritize wisdom over raw intelligence. That greatness won't come from executive orders—but from the strength of our social order.

'Yeah, I've changed': Former Republican congressman runs as Democrat for governor

A former GOP congressman turned MSNBC commentator made his pitch for Florida's governorship in next year's election at a packed town hall meeting on June 9 at Florida Atlantic University's Jupiter campus. 'Yeah, I've changed,' said David Jolly, and he wants his Republican opponents to make that the centerpiece of their attacks against him. During the 90-minute moderated discussion, Jolly positioned himself as a candidate who can bridge political divides and appeal across party lines in a state that hasn't elected a Democratic governor in over three decades. Next November's election will be a battle for what will be an open seat as Gov. Ron DeSantis is term limited according to Florida's constitution. Jolly's political evolution spans what he describes as 'a period of about 10 years,' moving from registered Republican to independent to Democrat. The attorney and former lobbyist served as the Republican representative in the 13th congressional district in Southwest Florida from 2014 to 2017 before leaving Congress. Now a network political contributor, he frames his party switches as an asset. 'I want my opponents to hit me on change. 'Jolly changed.' Yeah, I did,' he said. 'Is it okay to change your mind? I think it is, and that's part of my story.' Then he pointedly added: 'You know who else has changed? Most elected Republicans have changed.' During his time as a Republican congressman, Jolly said he supported positions that put him at odds with his party as it tilted toward President Donald Trump's America first and Make America Great Again movement, which Jolly has lambasted in network appearances. 'I was a Republican in Congress who supported marriage equality, climate science, gun control, campaign finance reform,' he told The Palm Beach Post. One of Trump's most ardent supporters on Capitol Hill, Republican U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, has already entered the race on the GOP side. The Naples congressman has the president's endorsement. Whoever the GOP nominee is will count on the party's more than 1 million-plus voter advantage over the rival Democrats. Not boding well for Jolly, either, is that the last Democratic nominee for governor, Charlie Crist, a former congressman who also was a Republican-turned-Democrat, got trounced by DeSantis in a nearly 20-point rout in November 2022. Jolly is centering his campaign on what he calls Florida's 'generational affordability crisis.' 'This is a lived experience for my wife and I. We have two young children, and I am not confident that our incumbent in Tallahassee or that the next Republican candidate for governor understands the urgency of it or a desire to fix it,' he said. This crisis transcends party lines, he argued. 'The affordability crisis doesn't know party. If you're a Democrat, independent, Republican, you're worried about your homeowners insurance, your rent, property taxes,' Jolly said His proposed solutions include a state catastrophic fund to remove hurricane and natural disaster coverage from private insurance markets. It is a proposal Jolly told the crowd that he offered in national scope during his term in Washington. 'In Congress, I introduced a national cap fund to aggregate fires out west, tornadoes in the midwest, ice in the northeast, hurricanes in the southwest into a national cap fund," he said. "It didn't pass. Republicans at the time called it socialism, I just called it cheaper insurance.' He said the fund could cut private insurance for homeowners by 50% to 60%. His platform includes education reform and social issues. He argues that 'public education has been abandoned in the state of Florida' and calls for ending what he calls 'culture wars' that target immigrant and marginalized communities. 'We have excellence today in public education only out of the sheer will and determination of public school teachers and administrators,' Jolly said. 'Politicians have tried to tell them how to teach, what to teach, what they can say. We don't respect them with pay, we don't respect them politically, and we need to be a state that celebrates public education.' At the town hall, he expanded on his social agenda. 'We have to return to a place where everyone is welcome and celebrated,' Jolly said at the town hall. 'Regardless of where you were born, the color of your skin, who you love or who you worship, we need to be a state that welcomes everyone and lifts everyone up.' On reproductive rights, Jolly supports leaving the decision up to the majority of voters, pointing to the support Florida's Amendment 4 on abortion received in November 2024. 'More than 50% of the state said they wanted it. There's no reason politicians in Tallahassee should stand in the way,' he said. The amendment received 57% support but failed to reach the required 60% threshold. The FAU event, moderated by political strategist Simon Rosenberg, drew supporters from across Florida, including some who drove from Sarasota, Fla., to hear Jolly speak. 'Bring sanity back,' said attendee and Sarasota resident Michele Zinser. 'I think [Jolly] is very calm. He listens, and I appreciate that.' Zinser, an independent, resonates with Jolly's mission to tackle the affordability crisis. 'I know he doesn't come in with a strong right-wing agenda, which is what we've been suffering in Sarasota county,' she said. 'I'm about to become a democrat, I'm afraid.' Scott Benarde, a registered Democrat, event sponsor and frequent watcher of MSNBC, attended to show support for Jolly. 'I really believe in this guy, I think he's knowledgeable, decent, honest and cares and knows what the heck he's talking about. I think he really has a shot of becoming Florida's next governor,' said Scott Benarde, a registered Democrat and event sponsor. Attendees emphasized how Jolly's Republican background could appeal to voters tired of current leadership. 'He was a Republican. He understands the republican party probably better than a lot of Democrats,' said Betsey Hull, who attended with concerns about affordable housing for her daughters. 'We need somebody that will unite the state.' With 16 months until the election, Jolly reports early conversations with national Democratic Party leadership about potential support, while working to build relationships with diverse communities across the state, including Black pastors in Orlando, Fla. 'A year from now, we'll be working with each other towards change,' he said.
