Vanity Fair: What was it like to go toe to toe on Euphoria? Martha Kelly: Adewale is a really sweet person. It didn’t feel intense except for one of the shots—but even then, I couldn’t get scared deep inside because I know how sweet he is. I love that dichotomy. He plays a ruthlessly brutal person, and yet when he comes on the set, the cast and crew’s faces light up. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje: Martha and the rest of the cast had set the bar so high. I’d always loved Martha’s depiction of Laurie—it was so deadpan and chilling, but unforced. It’s the most unsuspecting villain. I’d said to Sam Levinson at one point, if these two characters were not at war, they would probably be a couple because they seem to have so much in common. There was almost a begrudging respect for her because he feels like he brought her into the game, but she’s obviously aspired and achieved her own little empire that now is challenging mine. Martha, when did you find out …
Assemblyman Alex Bores is interviewed on Monday, May 13, 2024, at the Capitol in Albany, N.Y. Will Waldron | Albany Times Union | Getty Images Two major AI PACs are facing off against each other in a New York congressional race — an early battleground for AI regulation that is set to pump hundreds of millions of dollars into the midterm elections. Jobs and Democracy PAC — the Democratic arm of a pro-AI regulation group — is launching a six-figure ad buy supporting Alex Bores, a New York assemblyman and driving force behind the state’s new AI law. The measure, named the RAISE Act, requires large AI developers to publish safety protocols and report serious misuse of their technology. Bores is facing a crowded field in the Democratic primary for New York’s 12th congressional district. Because of the makeup of the district, the winner of the Democratic primary is likely to win the general election. Bores was the target of another ad campaign launched last November from another AI PAC, Leading the Future, which is …

(RNS) — President Donald Trump, speaking to a sprawling crowd at a National Prayer Breakfast in Washington on Thursday (Feb. 5), returned to his personal tradition of using the bipartisan convening as an opportunity to attack his political enemies along religious lines. “I don’t know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat,” said Trump. In a more than hourlong speech, the president, a self-described nondenominational Christian, highlighted faith but spent roughly as much time lauding his administration, his Cabinet and himself while heaping criticism on others. At one point, he blasted Republicans who have opposed his policies, saying of U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, “There’s something wrong with him.” The breakfast at the Washington Hilton was one of two prayer breakfasts that took place in the capital Thursday, continuing a split that began during the COVID-19 pandemic as negative reports came out about the Fellowship Foundation, the secretive evangelical Christian group that has coordinated the event for decades. Since at least 2022, the established breakfast has been held at the Hilton …
