    Paul Policy — Weekly Deep-Dive: White House

    Welcome to Storyflo's Weekly Deep-Dive on White House. I'm Paul. Buckle up, because this week we’re peeling back the curtain on a rapidly evolving landscape, where technology, economics, and foreign policy collide under the current Trump administration. This week has been a whirlwind, revealing bold decisions that signal an aggressive shift from foundational principles in governance towards more unilateral, populist-driven action. Let's dive into the threads uniting these pivotal stories. First up is the administration’s noticeable pivot in Artificial Intelligence governance. After announcing a hands-off approach in January, the sudden decision to enforce export controls on Anthropic's AI models has raised eyebrows all around. The American Enterprise Institute reports that this swift action—executed without thorough public justification—marks a significant departure from an earlier commitment to “do no harm” in AI development. This is more than just a regulatory move; it shows a broade

    Paul Policy — Weekly Deep-Dive: Congress

    Welcome to Storyflo's Weekly Deep-Dive on Congress. I'm Paul. This week's news has been dominated by a theme that's both old and new: the growing debate over the limits of Congressional power. On one hand, we see attempts to expand government control over critical sectors like immigration, labor, and artificial intelligence. On the other, we have voices pushing back against what they see as overreach, citing concerns about constitutional rights, regulatory burdens, and the potential for bureaucratic abuse. Today, we'll explore three storylines that demonstrate this tension and explain why they matter for Congress. First, we have the ongoing saga of DHS amnesty, where critics like the Cato Institute's David Logothetti, author of "Testimony: "Congress Should End Amnesty for DHS Agents"", argue that the agency's practices are flagrantly violating constitutional rights. DHS agents, he points out, are invading homes without warrants, detaining citizens and immigrants alike, and deporting pe

    Paul Policy — Weekly Deep-Dive: Foreign Policy

    Welcome to Storyflo's Weekly Deep-Dive on Foreign Policy. I'm Paul. Today, we'll delve into the complexities of global governance, emerging threats, and the intricate dance between nations – particularly the United States, China, Russia, and Iran. Our six curated articles from the past month provide a fascinating landscape, offering insights into what's at stake and why it matters for foreign policy. As Congress continues to debate the next Farm Bill, a pressing concern arises from the Cato Institute regarding the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Romina Boccia and Tyler Turman argue that delaying the cost-sharing requirements for states would compromise the program's integrity (Cato Institute). They point out that nearly 1 in 9 dollars spent on SNAP, amounting to $10.2 billion in FY 2025, was lost to improper payments. To combat this, last year's One Big Beautiful Bill Act introduced matching fund requirements for states with high payment error rates. Any delay on impl

    Paul Policy Brief — SCOTUS extends mifepristone access, Hegseth cancels Poland deployment, and AOC goes quiet on Hochul's climate rollback

    Welcome to Storyflo Daily Policy. I'm Paul. The SCOTUS order that matters: per Politico, the Supreme Court extended its pause on a lower-court ruling that would have rolled back availability of mifepristone — preserving online and mail-order access for now. The order came half an hour after the court's own self-imposed 5 p.m. deadline. Four years after Dobbs, the court has handed providers and patients a lifeline — albeit temporary. The question on the table is whether the court will issue a permanent ruling before the November election or punt to January 2027. The political incentive structure suggests punt; the legal-merit pressure may force a decision sooner. The Pentagon move that stunned even Pentagon staff: per Politico, SecDef Pete Hegseth's last-minute decision to cancel the deployment of 4,000 troops to Poland "caught Pentagon staff and European allies by surprise." Three defense officials told Politico it wasn't clear exactly why Hegseth issued the order. The pattern — abrupt
