| Tensions after Trump’s indictment |
| A wave of violent rhetoric followed Donald Trump’s federal indictment last week. His allies have portrayed the indictment as an act of war and called for an uprising to defend him, raising concerns about violence ahead of Trump’s scheduled court appearance tomorrow. |
| Other Republicans who are running for president are caught in a tough spot. They now have to decide between deferring to a system of law and order that their party has long upheld — or backing Trump. Trump himself is on the defensive, casting both his indictments and his bid for the White House as part of a “final battle” with “corrupt” forces. |
| Across the world, many saw the indictment as another sign of the country’s political messiness. Some chose silence in public and eye rolls in private. Allies voiced concerns that the episode was hurting not just Trump but also the U.S. itself, by showing that security secrets were not safe in its hands — and that its disorienting, partisan fever had yet to break. |
| Context: This is the first time a former U.S. president has faced federal charges. The indictment accuses Trump of mishandling classified documents that he kept upon leaving office and then obstructing efforts to reclaim them. But it is silent on one subject: Trump’s motive. We have annotated the documents for you. |

| Quiz: A.I. or nuclear? |
| Many A.I. experts are warning about the technology or calling for regulation — just as others once did with the atomic bomb. But some argue that we should see A.I. as a tool, much as nuclear energy can offer an alternative to fossil fuels. |
| To take stock of the onslaught of comparisons, my colleagues Ian Prasad Philbrick and Tom Wright-Piersanti made a quiz: Are these quotations about A.I. or nuclear technology? |
| 1. “We are drifting toward a catastrophe beyond comparison.” |
| 2. “The rise of _______ will be either the best or the worst thing ever to happen to humanity. We do not yet know which.” |
| 3. “If any major military power pushes ahead with _______ development, a global arms race is virtually inevitable.” |
