Episode Details

A violent shooting on Cambridge's Memorial Drive has left two people critically injured and a suspect, 46-year-old Tyler Brown, in custody after firing dozens of rounds into traffic. The incident, which was stopped by a combined effort from law enforcement and a civilian Marine veteran, occurred just as national attention shifts to a pivotal diplomatic mission. President Donald Trump is heading to Beijing for a summit with President Xi Jinping, bringing a massive delegation of industry leaders to discuss the Iran war, global trade, and AI safety. This comes as April's inflation data shows a 3.8% year-over-year increase, driven largely by energy costs. Additionally, federal regulators are tightening the deadline for tech giants to address nonconsensual intimate imagery, and OpenAI has launched a new cybersecurity framework.
