UNBIASED Politics

President Trump is proposing a $5,000 cash dividend if Republicans keep control of Congress — but where would the money come from, would Congress have to approve it, and could it legally be considered vote buying? We also break down new information about the Lindsay Clancy holdout juror, the proposed 32-hour workweek bill, and the growing debate over AI safety after warnings from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and comments from Sam Altman, Microsoft and President Trump.
