Here’s a tighter recap that matches the carousel: The Trump administration is now defending its ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico by arguing that the outlets published sensitive or classified information and failed to meet White House standards for access. DOJ told the court that access to the White House is a “privilege — not a right,” and asked the judge to reject the outlets’ request to immediately restore their press credentials. The three outlets argue the ban violates the First Amendment and that their credentials were revoked without proper due process. At Wednesday’s hearing, U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly questioned whether the required process was followed before the ban took effect. Kelly did not issue an immediate ruling, so the ban remains in place for now while the court considers the request. #Trump #WhiteHouse #FirstAmendment #PressFreedom #Media | The Dupree Report

TRUMP WANTS TO RENAME ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE “SUPER INTELLIGENCE” President Donald Trump announced at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday that U.S. government documents would begin using the term “super intelligence” instead of artificial intelligence. Trump argued that the word “artificial” makes the technology sound fake and said the new terminology better reflects its capabilities. He also urged other countries to adopt the name. The announcement comes amid growing concerns about AI safety and renewed debate over government oversight. Trump opposes additional regulations that could slow American AI development, while saying the Justice Department could intervene when necessary. One important distinction: Superintelligence already has an established technical meaning—AI that exceeds human intelligence. Changing the terminology does not mean today’s AI systems have reached that level. #ArtificialIntelligence #SuperIntelligence #DonaldTrump #Technology #UnitedNations | The Dupree Report
