As President Trump demolishes the government’s biggest provider of foreign aid, USAID, he is ending a 60-year bipartisan consensus about the best way to keep the U.S. safe from its enemies.

On "The Daily," our reporters explain the rise and fall of USAID — and American soft power.

In January 2024, for the first time in its nearly 50 years, Microsoft became worth $3 trillion.

But the journey to the top, from competition during the mobile era to capturing AI’s moment didn’t come without its lessons.

A deep dive: www.wired.com/story/at-age...
Relevant! Relevant! Relevant! At 50, Microsoft Is an AI Giant, Open-Source Lover, and as Bad as Ever
When Satya Nadella took over as CEO, the company was lumbering and uncool. He cleaned up a toxic culture, crafted the deal of the decade, and put Microsoft back on top.

as more and more cities test driverless robotaxis, we spent over 6 hours chasing waymos across san francisco with a former taxi—now uber driver. it broke our minds, made us realize how human we were (lost the robotaxi bc we had to eat), but also how lovely it is to be around humans.
Get in, Loser—We’re Chasing a Waymo Into the Future
Tailing a robotaxi for hours and hours is weird. And revelatory. And jealousy-inducing. But a driverless world is coming for all of us. So shut the door and buckle up.

The most expensive election in American history was in 1896, costing about 0.06 percent of U.S. GDP. This year was more expensive, especially if you count Elon Musk's in-kind donation of purchasing the information machine of Twitter, writes @ryanlcooper.com.

Thanks to Elon Musk, the record of 1896 just got blown out of the water.

What I love about this Officially Verified Bluesky Press Lists is it includes a real mix of people at major legacy media outlets, independent organizations, and freelancers.

We can promote a diverse media when billionaires don't control what you see.

After $500M+ in funding and 8 years in operation, Forward Health is shutting down.

Their bold vision of high-tech Care Pods faced challenges with operational complexity, scaling infrastructure, and reactive care limitations.

Are 'care pods' still the future of primary healthcare?
