Today marks a year since President Donald Trump took office for a second time, and a lot has happened. Amidst all the threats to take over Greenland, the Liberation Day tariffs, and the crackdown on education, artificial intelligence development has continued to accelerate — and it's only getting faster. Over the last few months, you may have heard about Claude Code – a product of Anthropic – that makes coding incredibly easy. But the thing about Claude Code that's really cool is that it might be learning how to improve itself. So to talk more about Claude Code, what it does, and what it could do in the future, we spoke to Lila Shroff. She's an assistant editor at The Atlantic, with a focus on AI. And in headlines, President Donald Trump exchanges some heated texts with the Prime Minister of Norway, new research finds Americans are footing the bill for Trump's tariffs, and Americans in all 50 states are staging a walkout to protest the Trump administration's "escalating fascist threat."

  • It's Tuesday, January 20th.

  • I'm Jane Costin, and this is What A Day, a show just wondering what Congress is up to.

  • You guys having a nice time?

  • Good January so far?

  • Anything new?

  • Any, say, foreign policy debacles involving our NATO allies you want to prevent?

  • On today's show, hooray!

  • It's one year since President Donald Trump took office.

  • We're 25% of the way there.

  • Technically, we have fewer Trump days ahead of us than behind us, if you count his first term.

  • And did Trump's tariffs make us all richer?

  • Look in your wallet or stay tuned to find out.

  • But let's start with artificial intelligence.

  • If you've ever used Claude or chat GPT, congratulations, you are among millions.

  • According to Pew, 34% of U.S.

  • adults had used chat GPT by the middle of 2025.

  • That's double the number of users since 2023.

  • And half of all Americans have used some AI large language model,

  • including chat GPT, cloud, Gemini, and co-pilot.

  • That's either fascinating or terrifying, depending on how you feel about AI.
