2025/02/10

While the Trump administration formulates new policy for artificial intelligence, Congress has created its own agenda. As we reported earlier, the last session's House Task Force on AI produced a long list of policy and legislative ideas. Many of them have to do with health and health care. Attorneys at Brownstein have distilled them out. Joining me now, senior policy counsel Deema Tarazi and senior policy advisor Adam Steinmetz. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

The Trump administration appears unlikely to see the workforce reductions it's hoping for through its deferred resignation program, at least not now. The program is also on pause after a federal court issued a temporary restraining order yesterday, but the Trump administration is still pressing forward on its promise to cut down that federal workforce. Agencies are bracing for what's likely coming next, a reduction in force. Here with the latest, Federal News Network's Drew Friedman and Jared Serbu

Federal employees now have more time to consider that deferred resignation offer from the Office of Personnel Management, and depending on which agency you work for, the deal looks a lot different than what the Office of Personnel Management first advertised. Lots going on here. Agencies exempted some of their employees at the last minute. Other agencies say the offer still applies to everybody. Federal News Network's Jory Heckman joins us with more.
