One of the things I began by asking you was the degree to which Davos this year — it’s not that something that happened at Davos ended the old order. Or are we just in a possibly quite dangerous interregnum where nothing is quite structured or stable. I think, I mean, I’m on, I’m like, I’m dying on the hill that we’re not even, not even in an interregnum like. So I, when Germans ask me — Germans are really addicted to this order thinking; there’s even a school of German economics called ordoliberalism — I always try and push back on this and say, if you’re looking for order, you’ll never see it. But if you’re looking for ordering attempts, actions, the pragmatic approach, as you say, it’s all around us already, all the time.

Washington —Democratic election officials are preparing for potential federal government intrusion in the midterms, as President Donald Trump’s appointees escalate their efforts to find evidence for his long-debunked election fraud claims. The Trump administration has pushed to alter election ground rules ahead of the midterms, including with an executive order last year that has been partially blocked in court. The erosion of bipartisanship has cut both ways among the state election community. Republican West Virginia Secretary of State Kris Warner told CNN he has “no fear” of federal interference in the 2026 elections. His brother, former West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner, joined the Trump administration last year as a senior Justice Department official.
A former software engineer at Google has been convicted of stealing artificial intelligence trade secrets for the benefit of China, the U.S. Department of Justice said. A federal jury on Thursday convicted Linwei Ding, 38, of seven counts of economic espionage and seven counts of theft of trade secrets after an 11-day trial in the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California. He told potential investors that he could build an AI supercomputer by copying Google’s technology, court documents state.
