NPS to shutter training centers in Grand Canyon and West Virginia
The Trump administration is overhauling that rite of passage.
As part of the administration's effort to consolidate all the administrative functions of Interior Department offices at its headquarters on C Street in Washington, the National Park Service will close its two national training centers, according to the service.

One of those facilities is the Horace P. Albright Training Center on the south rim of the Grand Canyon, where new rangers are taught about the laws and history of the service. The second is the Stephen T. Mather Training Center in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, where career development and technical trainings were held.

Trump administration's new AI plan focuses on deregulation, beating China
The White House on Wednesday released its promised "AI Action Plan," a sweeping set of policy proposals aimed at boosting the United States' goal for dominance in artificial intelligence through sweeping deregulation. The plan was developed by the Trump administration's AI and crypto czar, David Sacks, and the Office of Science and Technology Policy. The 24-page plan outlines over 90 federal actions focused on three areas of focus: increasing private-sector innovation, expanding AI-related infrastructure and exporting American AI. It follows President Donald Trump's January executive order directing the creation of an "AI Action Plan" within 180 days. The proposals appear to break from the Biden administration's more safety-first AI framework, but White House officials cast the strategy as essential to "winning the AI race" against global competitors, especially China. The new plan comes as consumer advocates warn it gives tech companies outsized influence and effectively lets them write their own rules. Public Citizen called it "a corporate giveaway." MORE: AI risks 'broken' career ladder for college graduates, some experts say "The Trump administration's reckless AI agenda prioritizes corporate profits over public safety. The administration plans to give billions to Big Tech so they can burn even more dirty energy, release untested products, and rush into the AI era without accountability to the American public," the group said in a statement. Trump is expected to issue executive orders tied to the plan's priorities. The president on Wednesday will appear at the "Winning the AI Race" event, hosted by the Hill and Valley Forum and the All‑In podcast, which is co-hosted by Sacks. Key pillars of the White House's AI plan The plan aims to accelerate AI Innovation by cutting regulations, pushing for private-sector adoption of AI technologies and relying on the private sector to recommend regulatory barriers to cut. Building and expanding AI infrastructure in America is also among the priorities of the proposal. This means fast-tracking permits for the creation of data centers, removing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and climate requirements, as well as investing in AI-related workforce training.

The plan, however, does not address the use of copyrighted data for AI training, which has emerged as a key issue for AI and the basis for lawsuits. When asked about this, a senior official told ABC News the issue is currently before the courts and beyond the scope of executive action, stating: "Fair use is the law of the land."

Independence Park exhibit and displays flagged over Trump order
The Trump administration is reviewing several items at Philadelphia's Independence National Historical Park as part of a nationwide effort to fight "corrosive ideology" at national parks, the New York Times reports. The big picture: The move follows the president's order from March, which called for the restoration of federal parks, public monuments, statues and the like that have been changed or removed since 2020 "to perpetuate a false reconstruction of American history." Park staff had until last week to flag such displays or materials, per internal documents reviewed by the NYT. The public could also offer feedback through July 18. State of play: At Independence Park, employees marked the following exhibits to be reviewed, per the NYT: A panel at the Liberty Bell that describes the bell's travels across the country during the late 1800s, which employees noted addresses racism and sexism at the time. The President's House outdoor exhibit itself, which highlights nine of Washington's slaves and includes descriptions of brutality against slaves. And displays addressing the federal government's strained relationship with Native American tribes. Meanwhile, Independence Park received fewer than 20 comments through public submissions, U.S. Department of the Interior spokesperson Alyse Sharpe tells Axios. All public feedback will be reviewed and evaluated before being referred to a subject-matter expert, she added. The White House and the National Park Service didn't immediately respond to Axios' requests for comment. Catch up quick: Trump has called for focusing on the greatness of the achievements of the American people or grandeur of the landscape, per his March order. He also directed the secretary of the interior to make sure federal monuments, markers and sites don't "inappropriately disparage Americans past or living." Zoom out: National Park Service employees from across the U.S. have also submitted content and displays at their parks and historic sites stemming from Trump's order, the NYT reports. Those sites include the National Mall in Washington, Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park. What they're saying:"This effort reinforces our commitment to telling the full and accurate story of our nation's past," Sharpe said. The other side: Philly preservationist Faye Anderson, a founder of PHL Watchdog, worries that any attempts to alter or remove materials at Independence Hall (where the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were signed) could "erase Black history and whitewash American history." "In Philadelphia in particular, you cannot tell the story of America without telling the story of slavery," she tells Axios. "Our history is complicated and messy." What's next: The deadline to remove all "inappropriate" content from parks is Sept. 17, per the NYT.

Supreme Court says Trump can proceed with firing Democrat-appointed CPSC members
The Supreme Court on Wednesday said President Donald Trump could proceed with the firing of three Democratic members of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) who were fired and then reinstated to their roles on the board — the latest high-stakes court clash centered on Trump's authority as authority to remove or otherwise control the fate of independent agency. The majority sided with the Trump administration in a 6-3 vote on the emergency order, the last of the Supreme Court's current term. Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented. The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court in early July to stay the decision of a lower court judge in Maryland who sided with the three ousted board members, Mary Boyle, Alexander Hoehn-Saric and Richard Trumka Jr. U.S. District Judge Matthew Maddox, a Biden appointee, ruled that their firings were unlawful and ordered they be reinstated to their roles. The Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals declined to grant the Trump administration's request to stay the order, clearing the way for the administration to appeal the matter to the Supreme Court. In its emergency filing to the Supreme Court, U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer pointed to the court's decision in another, factually similar emergency case reviewed by the high court earlier this year, in which justices agreed to temporarily block the reinstatements of board members for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). Sauer pointed to the factual similarities underpinning both cases, and argued that the high court's emergency decision there "squarely controls this case." The CPSC board members disputed that notion in their own Supreme Court filing — arguing that their removals from the CPSC would "disrupt the status quo" from an agency dedicated to consumer protection and safety. They also pointed to the timing of their removals, noting that the Trump administration made no attempt to oust them for four months — a delay they argue shows no urgency and undercuts any claim of "irreparable harm," a key standard for emergency court action. After the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit rejected the government's request to temporarily freeze Maddox's order, the government appealed it to the Supreme Court. In his ruling, Maddox said that the tenured design and protection of the five-member, staggered-term CPSC board does "not interfere with" Trump's executive branch powers under Article II of the U.S. Constitution. The case is the latest in a string of challenges centered on Trump's ability to remove members of independent boards. Like the NLRB and MSPB rulings, it centers on the 90-year-old Supreme Court decision known as Humphrey's Executor, in which the court unanimously ruled that presidents cannot fire independent board members without cause. Maddox invoked the uncertainty created by the preliminary posture of the NLRB and MSPB cases, which saw both plaintiffs removed and reinstated to their positions multiple times — which he said was the basis for ordering more permanent injunctive relief. "Disruption might have resulted in the instant case if Plaintiffs had been reinstated while this case was in its preliminary posture, only to have the Court later deny relief in its final judgment and subject Plaintiffs to removal again," said Maddox. "The risk of such disruption is no longer a factor now that the Court is granting permanent injunctive relief as a final judgment." In his ruling, Maddox said that the tenured design and protection of the five-member, staggered-term CPSC board does "not interfere with" Trump's executive branch powers under Article II of the U.S. Constitution.
