House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) wants to hold a conspicuously early vote on a short-term funding bill next week — more than two months before the government runs out of money.

The big picture: Trump ha
Republicans admit the GOP's midterm forecast is bleak. But they're clinging to two hopes: voters' fear and loathing of Democrats.

Why it matters: There's broad GOP frustration that Trump has made challe
The Justice Department is asking a never-before-used federal court to remove an unnamed noncitizen, the first use of a 30-year-old process that could give President Trump a new tool for his deportation agenda .

Certified robustness via randomized smoothing offers provable guarantees but suffers from a severe accuracy-robustness trade-off, limiting its practical use. To bridge this gap, we introduce AuditVotes, the first framework that sim

Unfortunately, most \emph{membership inference attacks} (MIAs) used to perform this type of auditing themselves assume \emph{access} to examples of
