The acting attorney general said the administration was preserving a broad order protecting the president and his family from audits of already filed returns, despite dropping a $1.8 billion payout fund.

The NYPD plans to hire 580 additional uniformed officers by the end of the year, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Monday, revealing an unexpected staffing increase, given Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s vow to keep police headcount flat.

Tisch said during a City Council budget hearing that the additional hires would bring the NYPD to 35,555 uniformed officers by the end of the year.

That would be a slightly larger police force than under Mayor Eric Adams, when the number of officers hovered around 35,000 at its peak, according to city budget documents and NYPD press releases.

• AI subtly erodes our cognitive strength by making delegation seem like self-generated thought.

• After repeatedly turning to AI for answers, the first thing that erodes is tolerance for not knowing.

• True judgment is built by wrestling with uncertainty, not outsourcing discomfort to machines.

For generations, the federal government enforced civil rights laws with an eye toward remedying historic, systemic discrimination against Black people and other people of color. The Justice Department pressed schools to desegregate. The Education Department worked to promote equal opportunity and held schools accountable for racial bias.

But under the Trump administration, efforts to address deep-rooted inequities for students of color are being cast as discriminatory against white students. Programs that have long withstood legal scrutiny are now quick to be deemed “ illegal DEI ” — diversity, equity and inclusion — by the White House. Schools that do not comply have faced threats to their funding, and in some cases, lost federal grants.

Civil rights attorneys describe the administration’s actions as a complete inversion of legal history.
