Trump Orders Military Coal Purchases, FAA Briefly Closes El Paso Airport, and Other News
In a week marked by diverse developments, President Trump ordered the military to purchase coal, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) briefly closed El Paso International Airport, and other events unfolded across the nation. These events included a surge in immigration cases in Minnesota, the release of Anthropic's Claude Cowork AI agent for Windows, and a growing movement to cancel ChatGPT subscriptions.
On Wednesday, President Trump received an award from the Washington Coal Club, which named him the "Undisputed Champion of Clean, Beautiful Coal." Taking the opportunity to support the coal industry, he issued an executive order directing the military to buy coal. According to Ars Technica, coal is the second most expensive source of power for the US grid, and also produces the most pollution.
Earlier in the week, the FAA closed airspace above El Paso International Airport in Texas for a period of time. The closure, which lasted less than 10 hours, was attributed to a "cartel drone incursion," according to US Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, as reported by Ars Technica. The closure was unexpected, but the airspace was reopened quickly.
Meanwhile, the US court system in Minnesota is facing strain due to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation. Since December, ICE agents have arrested approximately 4,000 people, leading to a surge in cases filed in the US district court in Minnesota. Wired reported that attorneys filed nearly as many habeas corpus petitions in Minnesota alone as were filed across the US during an entire year.
In the tech world, Anthropic released its Claude Cowork AI agent software for Windows on Monday. This release brings the file management and task automation tool to a larger segment of the desktop computing market. VentureBeat noted that the launch includes "full feature parity" with the macOS version, including file access and multi-step task execution.
Finally, a movement called QuitGPT is gaining traction, with users canceling their ChatGPT subscriptions. According to MIT Technology Review, users are expressing frustration with the chatbot's coding abilities and its responses. One user, Alfred Stephen, a freelance software developer, shared his experience of canceling his subscription after becoming frustrated with the chatbot's performance.
