A bruising, record-setting Republican Senate runoff in Texas comes to an end, as Ken Paxton cruises to an easy victory over incumbent GOP Senator John Cornyn. Pope Leo the 14th releases his first encyclical, warning that artificial intelligence must be governed by moral responsibility and made to serve human dignity, not replace it. Vice President JD Vance brings state attorneys general to the White House as the Trump administration works to turn its anti-fraud task force into a national enforcement push. UFC and the White House prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime fight night on the South Lawn, with thousands of spectators, free tickets, and even the Oval Office as part of the show.
