Editor’s Note

This week turned on disclosures and maneuvers at the highest levels of power, from Trump’s energy diplomacy with Russia and Taiwan and Zelenskyy’s anger over waived sanctions, to the Vatican’s confirmation of Pope Leo XIV’s lung cancer surgery and the U.S. Treasury’s record penalties against Bank of America. AI governance and cyber conflict featured heavily as Microsoft’s Satya Nadella pressed for an “emergency brake,” G7 finance chiefs agreed to AI cyberattack drills, and U.S. authorities moved against North Korean IT schemes and a suspected Chinese-linked hack of a Swiss space firm. On the home front, election-season battles over lawfare, media power, immigration, banking access, and alleged fraud were joined by intensifying scrutiny of figures ranging from Ilhan Omar and Matt Gaetz to Wall Street executives with Epstein ties and the Biden-era handling of border, health-care, and pharma controversies.
