I’m excited to announce my forthcoming book, BLACK OUT LOUD!
I wrote the book I’ve always wanted to read -- about the golden age of ’90s Black sitcoms, how that moment came to be, and the long history of Black comedy as a force that reshaped culture.

The Supreme Court revived a controversial voter-citizenship database just two months ahead of the midterm elections. In the ruling, the court sided with the Trump administration, which is looking to use the Department of Homeland Security’s SAVE database to review state voter rolls for potential noncitizens.

AP: "Very briefly in front of news photographers, Trump noted that Xi has the friendliest press corps in the world. The U.S. president quipped that the Chinese press ask Xi for permission to speak. China is one of the most oppressive environments for journalists in the world."

Former Kansas Gov. Bill Graves, a Republican, crossed party lines to endorse Democrat Adam Hamilton in his bid to unseat Republican Sen. Roger Marshall.
Since Marshall's "time in the Senate, he has been pretty much a yes vote for anything the administration wants ... there are times when you have to stand up and look out for the best interest of your state," Graves tells @GeoffRBennett.

NEW: The presidential TV pool has been suspended as networks react to the White House's ongoing ban of CNN.
That means, for now, that no major TV network will provide coverage of Trump's events, including today's appearances at the WH and his trip to the United Nations.

OpenAI announced it had discovered six new instances of “concerning or unexpected” behavior by its artificial intelligence models. It follows repeated warnings about how rapid advances in AI threaten to outpace the ability to develop the tech safely.
One of those warnings came from Jacob Coxon, who spent the last three years conducting research at Anthropic and OpenAI before he publicly resigned.
@GeoffRBennett speaks to Coxon for more.

"These AIs do many, many things over the course of a day," former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon tells @GeoffRBennett. "The issue is we can't perfectly control what drives motivate their behavior and the sorts of things they decide to do, which means occasionally these nefarious activities will kind of slip through the cracks. And a sufficiently dangerous bit of nefarious activity could have massive consequences."
