An attempt by the Trump administration to gain access to Arizona’s detailed voter records was thwarted by the courts on Tuesday, when a federal judge dismissed the US justice department’s lawsuit against the state.

The ruling marks the latest legal setback in an unprecedented nationwide effort by the administration before the midterm elections to collect sensitive information about tens of millions of Americans. The DoJ has sued at least 30 states and the District of Columbia seeking to force release of the data, which includes dates of birth, addresses, driver’s license numbers and partial social security numbers.

AFP is reporting that so far, officials in Brussels are hopeful that Péter Magyar – who once served under Viktor Orbán, before turning on his former boss – will genuinely launch a new chapter in ties.

Since the Italian company’s first sticker collection at the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, striving to complete the set has been an obsession for young fans around the globe with swapping of “doubles” and the search for rarities mandatory.

With the arrival of Anthropic’s scarily powerful Mythos model, the tech titans that have long argued against any kind of AI regulation are now clamoring for it. Governments should take immediate steps to coordinate effectively and enable rapid information sharing, while also compelling developers to meet basic safety standards.

Europe’s security order needs to be reconstituted. In a world of fracturing alliances, closer security partnerships with a wider range of states, however small, will increasingly become a source of power, allowing Europe to defend its interests wherever they are at stake.

Instead of allowing external powers to dictate their development, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam have balanced strategic international engagement with domestic capacity-building and decision-making. This model has become newly relevant for Canada, the United Kingdom, and other middle powers.

Much of the discussion about US President Donald Trump’s proposed SAVE America Act has centered on the bill’s partisan electoral implications. But given the inevitability of false positives, Americans should be asking a more fundamental question: Am I willing to give up my own right to vote to keep a non-citizen from voting?

Caught between US President Donald Trump’s unpredictable administration and a rising China, South Korea is highly exposed to geopolitical turmoil and energy shocks. With American reliability in doubt, it must now safeguard its export-driven economy and build its own capabilities while navigating an increasingly unstable world.
