Daily coverage of markets, policy and technology — plus a podcast that takes one story apart each week.
How Washington is adopting generative AI tools while racing to tackle rogue agents, platform liability, and industry lobbying.
In this deep dive, we explore the rapid, high-stakes intersection of artificial intelligence and federal policy. We break down how generative AI has quickly taken root on Capitol Hill, with congressional offices adopting these tools to manage constituent correspondence, summarise dense legislation, and draft policy memos. House office expenditure records show that at least one-sixth of member offices have actively used these technologies, with ChatGPT dominating early spending. But as lawmakers integrate these tools to save hours of manual labour, they are also grappling with how to govern them.
We cover the money story behind the headline: what moved, who decided it, and what it costs the people downstream. No tip sheets, no hype — just the reporting that helps you read the tape yourself.
