11 interviews, 1 high school reopening, and 3800 words later, I’m excited to finally share this piece. I hope my discussion of the remote learning innovations will be useful for public school teachers, professors, and student tutors for years to come.
UP CLOSE | Last March, High School in the Community math and statistics teacher Dorothy Cohen was trying to think about pie. She was planning for her school’s upcoming Pi Day festivities.

We tested America.gov and found that in 4 of 10 answers, the chatbot is linking back to USA.gov, the website launched under Bill Clinton that Trump is seemingly trying to replace with the AI product.

According to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, case receipts with the agency’s Identity Theft Victim Assistance (IDTVA) unit almost quadrupled in volume in fiscal 2021, due in large part to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Five years later, the IRS is still dealing with “significantly elevated” case receipts “due to the increased prevalence and sophistication” of identity theft fraud, per the report. The beginning inventory of cases in fiscal 2025 was 473,608, and the agency finished the year at 315,740. hubs.li/Q04yqN4V0

I reported on the push to create an AI clearinghouse to interact with the government over a week ago with @jstein_sun and @JasJWright.

EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration is set to launch America.gov, a new AI-powered tool designed to be a "one-stop shop" for Americans navigating the federal government, replacing what officials describe as a maze of scattered agency websites.
President Trump and Vice President Vance will unveil the platform Tuesday at an all-day event in Washington featuring Elon Musk, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Dr. Mehmet Oz. The event will also include panels on AI, energy, health, space, and agriculture.
The tool was built by the National Design Studio, led by AirBnB cofounder Joe Gebbia — the first-ever Chief Design Officer of the United States — who told Fox News Digital the launch marks a "new chapter of usability for the country."

I stand with reporters like @gardnerakayla, @betsy_klein @cheyennehaslett, whose White House passes were pulled today.
Their work at the White House — or as Trump and other presidents have called it, “the People’s House” — has helped inform Americans and hold power to account.

Journalists are annoying. Officials get tired of our questions; readers may wish we asked different ones.
(Frankly, we annoy each other as we compete for scoops.)
But being annoying — pushing our government for answers — is part of the press freedom that makes America great.
MS NOW said its journalists were denied access to the White House grounds Saturday, a day after President Trump said he would ban the outlet, as well as CNN and Politico, from the site.
The president said Friday he disliked how they covered him. wapo.st/46RUEip

A reporting tip I got from @siobhanehughes when I started covering Capitol Hill -- reach out to enough people to get rejected 10 times every day.
(and when we'd both hit 10 nos, we'd go get doughnuts)
Much respect to @siobhanehughes, the Sy Hersh of the “politician really not up to this job anymore” beat
More agencies are interested in deploying the federal electronic health record and some are “very close” to announcing partnerships with the office overseeing the technology. It’s unclear which agencies are eyeing the federal EHR but ICE and CBP are actively looking for an EHR.
14 organizations are looking to join federal electronic health record program
