Title: SUNAK-DC-house-q-WEDam
Out-cue: with President Biden]

TAG: Correspondent Jeremy House reporting. The breaching of a major dam in southern Ukraine has given the subject added urgency. Sunak said that if Moscow was responsible it would “demonstrate the new lows that we would have seen from Russian aggression.” Sunak also wants to discuss closer economic ties and artificial intelligence during the trip.

———————————
VERBATIM: Sunak is carrying the message that post-Brexit Britain remains an essential American ally in a world of emboldened authoritarian states. The U.S. and U.K. are the two biggest military donors to Ukraine. The war will be the focus of Sunak’s meeting Thursday at the White House with President Biden.

No Biden comment on PGA merger with Saudi golf league

Tue, Jun 6, 2023 at 3:16 pm

The Biden administration is not too eager to address the PGA’s announced merger with a Saudi-backed golf league. At the daily White House briefing, two administration officials flat out refused to comment on news that the PGA is merging with the Saudi-sponsored LIV circuit. And later when asked, President Biden only joked that he’s “planning on playing in the PGA.” The golf merger announcement happened to come on the same day Secretary of State Blinken was meeting with the Saudi crown prince — one year after the president’s much-criticized visit to Saudi Arabia.

Tue, Jun 6, 2023 at 1:02 pm
A bi-partisan group of senators say it’s vital they deepen their expertise on the potential, and risks posed by AI. Something they say is -quote-“already changing our world, and experts have repeatedly told us that it will have a profound impact on everything from our national security to our classrooms to our workforce.” One briefing will focus on the current status of AI, another on it’s trajectory moving forward, and a third on how U.S. intelligence, the Department Defense, and the nation’s adversaries are making use of AI technology.

Former President Trump Kicks Off Campaign Events

Sat, Jan 28, 2023 at 10:16 pm

The former President is kicking off his 2024 campaign with two stops along the East Coast. More from Correspondent Bernie Bennett.

Former President Donald Trump kicked off his 2024 White House bid with a stop Saturday in New Hampshire before heading to South Carolina, appearances in early-voting states marking the first campaign events since announcing his latest run more than two months ago.

Those states hold two of the party’s first three nominating contests, giving them enormous power in selecting the nominee.

Mr. Trump and his allies hope the events will offer a show of force behind the former president after a sluggish start to his campaign. In recent weeks, his backers have reached out to political operatives and elected officials to secure support for Mr. Trump at a critical point when other Republicans are preparing their own expected challenges.

A lot of American churches are looking to their security

VERBATIM: A new poll of Protestant pastors from Life Way Research indicates that they are employing a lot of different methods to keep their congregations safe. 57% have set up an active shooter plan and 54% are using armed church members for safety. Others are hiring armed security guards and some are installing metal detectors. Attacks on churches have been on the rise of decades — about half take place in the South.
