Alex Vindman Survived Trump's Retaliation Machine. In 2019, Alex Vindman testified during President Trump's first impeachment trial--a decision that ended his military career. Now he wants to challenge the president from the halls of Congress. Alex Vindman knows a thing or two about pissing off President Donald Trump . In 2019, Vindman rose to national prominence when he served as a witness during Trump's first impeachment trial. If you've lost track of that particular scandal, it's the one involving Trump, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, the Biden family and Vindman listening in on a troubling phone call in his capacity as the director for European affairs on the National Security Council. Vindman's congressional testimony describing that pivotal call was widely lauded, even as it ended his storied military career: After being ousted from the NSC, Vindman retired from the Army in 2020. Six years later, he's got his eye on another governmental gig. In January, Vindman announced plans to challenge Republican incumbent Ashley Moody for the Florida seat in the US Senate previously held by Marco Rubio. Vindman, who tells me he moved to Florida in 2023 because his wife wanted to politics, is the latest candidate I'm chatting with ahead of the November midterms. He's particularly interesting to me, and WIRED, for a few reasons: Vindman has lived through--and emerged from--the Trump retaliation machine, and I wanted to hear more about that journey; he's been vocal about his opposition to both the war in Iran and ICE, two topics we cover frequently; and I wanted his view, as a longtime service member, on AI through the lens of national security. Then there's the fact that Vindman, running in what's ostensibly a Republican stronghold, has a decent shot at winning the damn thing: Though Senator Moody still leads in most polls, Vindman is often within spitting distance--no small feat for a first-time candidate whose campaign started around five months ago. KATIE DRUMMOND: Welcome to the Big Interview, Alex. Good to be here with you, Katie. So glad to have you here. You are maybe best known on a national level as a whistleblower, but you were also an Army veteran of more than 20 years. You were honored with a Purple Heart after being wounded in Iraq, and you were on the National Security Council.

A pregnant woman and two others were killed in Russian strikes on Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv region, while two people were killed in Donetsk, Ukrainian officials have said. The overnight missile attacks on the town of Chuhuiv also injured six people and caused damage to residential buildings and shops, the regional prosecutor's office said on Tuesday. Photos shared online by officials show a burning building and burnt-out cars. Two people were killed in Bilozerske and Druzhkivka on Monday, Vadym Filashkin, head of the Donetsk state administration, said on Facebook, with 11 others injured in Sloviansk and Shabelkivka. The strikes come after Ukraine intensified its long-range drone strikes on Russian oil facilities, prompting fuel shortages, while Russia conducted large air attacks on the country.

The outspoken longevity scientist David Sinclair has been predicting that one day, you'll go to the doctor and get a prescription that will make you 10 years younger. Now has learned that he has plans to launch human tests of an oral reprogramming drug as part of a $101 million competition organized by the XPrize Foundation. The foundation is offering cash awards to teams able to "restore" a person to an earlier apparent age, as measured by improvements in immune, cognitive, and muscle function. The grand prize goes to any team able to show a 10-year (or greater) relative improvement after one year of treatment. Reached by phone, Sinclair, a biologist at Harvard Medical School, confirmed that he plans to give an oral drug mixture to volunteers in a bid to seek "evidence for age restoration in humans."

The next decade won't be Armageddon. But it will bring a lot of change. When I started this six-week-long series by asking whether my daughter would be attending college in 2035, the year she turns eighteen, I was pretty sure I already knew the answer. Nine years is a short amount of time, and something disastrous--or, I suppose, downright liberatory--would need to happen in the culture to make it unlikely for her to shuttle off to some campus after high school. Still, thinking about the future of higher education has convinced me that her path to a bachelor's degree will be very different from the one I began in 1998.

Manatomo Yoneyama, president of Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, speaks during an interview at the bank's headquarters in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward on May 22. | JIJI Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank plans to invest ¥360 billion ($2.2 billion) to ¥380 billion in digital technologies over three years, President Manatomo Yoneyama said in an interview. The bank also plans to spend ¥30 billion to optimize its operations. It will utilize artificial intelligence technology for office tasks and reposition some 900 employees to client-facing roles. The bank made an AI agent, which can handle people's tasks, "100% internally," said Yoneyama, who took the helm of Sumitomo Mitsui Trust in April after working on digital innovation at the bank. He said the bank is "sensing the advantage" of the in-house development, including smooth utilization of data. It aims to sell the AI agent in fiscal 2028.
