Attorneys for writer E. Jean Carroll have asked a federal judge to order President Trump to pay her $5 million from a jury verdict that found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her. In documents filed Tuesday in Manhattan federal court, her lawyers said Mr. Trump is considering asking the Supreme Court to reconsider after it declined to hear his appeal of the verdict this week. The president said on social media, “I will continue the fight against this Weaponization and Lawfare Case against me, including the ridiculous claim of Defamation, with all of my power and strength.” A…

Almost every healthcare AI pilot I have seen clear its success criteria has gone on to struggle in production, sometimes within months of going live, and almost always for reasons that had nothing to do with the AI model itself. The pilot is not a useful predictor of what happens when a tool actually has to run inside the hospital’s operational environment, and we keep treating it as one.

Democratic socialists achieved a fresh set of bragging rights after Melat Kiros unseated 15-term Rep. Diana DeGette in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District — the latest sign that the party’s left flank is increasingly willing to topple its own establishment. The result wasn’t even close.

Ms. Kiros used her victory speech to…

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tourists from Chattanooga check into beach resorts in Cancun. Canadian auto parts feed factories in the American Midwest — and vice versa. Happy hour revelers raise glasses of Mexican tequila and mezcal at bars in Seattle. It adds up. The United States trades $1.9 trillion a year — $5 billion a day — worth of goods and services with its neighbors, Canada and Mexico. They have supplanted China as America’s top two trading partners. So the stakes are high when it comes to fiddling with the rules that govern trade between the three countries. And after a…
