Don of a new age: Trump’s decisive win
Trump, Jason, John Prudhoe, Charlotte Howard, Idris Kalloun, Tamara Gilkes-Boer, Adam O'Neill, Aaron Braun
Donald Trump is projected to secure the presidency and a unified Republican trifecta, becoming the only president since Grover Cleveland to win non-consecutive terms while defeating Kamala Harris across key swing states. The campaign's "base-first" strategy drove significant gains among working-class and cross-racial demographics, allowing Trump to potentially appoint new Supreme Court justices and pursue an unchecked legislative agenda. Conversely, the Democratic Party faces intense internal scrutiny over its nomination process and policy failures as Republicans prepare to leverage their control of Congress and the judiciary for a second term.

How to make computers less biased
Pa Manjang, Parr, Rochelle Farool, Meredith Broussard, Thomas Adams, Tamara Gilkes-Boer
Uber driver Pa Manjang is suing the company for algorithmic dismissal after an automated facial verification system permanently deactivated his account, sparking broader allegations of racial bias in tech infrastructure. This legal action highlights systemic issues where biased training data and lack of diverse testing have led to discriminatory outcomes in sectors ranging from mortgage lending to medical diagnostics. In response, regulators like the European Union are proposing stricter AI oversight frameworks while industry innovators develop tools to detect embedded bias before algorithms impact fundamental rights.
