âWhen the future of humanity is at stake, we need a PAUSE on advanced AI development and a ban on artificial superintelligence â an AI mind smarter than any human and capable of operating independently beyond our control,â Sanders said.
The US Senator further said: âAt their upcoming AI summit, Trump and Xi must negotiate a treaty to pause AI and ban superintelligence before it is too late.â
House Speaker Mike Johnson says it‘s time for President Donald Trump to „summon everyone together“ and take the lead addressing questions about AI at the White House, rather than Congress.
If a terrorist threat led subject experts to warn of a near-term existential menace to humanity, the weight of the US government would mobilize in an immediate and limitless effort to save the day.
Yet a remarkable sequence of warnings by leaders of artificial intelligence firms that their creation may soon outpace humansâ capacity to control it has so far been met with a shrug by Republicans who run Washington.
President Trump brushed off the risks of artificial intelligence and warnings that the technology has gone rogue. The calls for caution were amplified by tech CEOs who say AI is advancing too fast. Ramy Inocencio has more.

International human rights campaigners, United Nations experts, journalists, and anti-war activists marked the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US by paying tributes to the thousands of lives lost on that day while condemning what followed: an unparalleled expansion of state surveillance, crackdowns on dissent, arbitrary detention, torture, and catastrophic wars that cost trillions of dollars and millions of lives.
Mourning the lasting impact of âthose horrific acts of violenceâ perpetrated in the US a quarter-century ago, a group of more than 40 UN experts said in a joint statement on Friday that âwe equally acknowledge the millions of other victims worldwide of terrorist attacks, excessive counter-terrorism responses, and conflicts in the name of countering terrorism.â

As Barbara Lee presciently warned her colleagues before she cast her lone dissenting vote in 2001, we have âbecome the evil we deplore.â But these wars have not been accompanied by fearsome military parades (not yet) or speeches about conquering the world. Instead they have been politically justified by âinformation warfareâ to demonize enemies and fabricate crises, and then waged in a âdisguised, quiet, media freeâ way, to hide their cost in human blood from the American public and the world.
After 16 years of war, about 6 million violent deaths, 6 countries utterly destroyed and many more destabilized, it is urgent that the American public come to terms with the true human cost of our countryâs wars and how we have been manipulated and misled into turning a blind eye to them â before they go on even longer, destroy more countries, further undermine the rule of international law and kill millions more of our fellow human beings.
âą Keynote speech: President Donald Trump, in his address to the GOP midterm convention, vowed to pay every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of the House and Senate, an extraordinary attempt to seemingly buy votes to keep his party in power. He did not explain how he would make it happen.
âą Economic push: In a speech replete with misleading facts, the president also touted the success of his administrationâs economic policies despite CNNâs poll of polls showing his approval rating stands at 35%. Read our fact check here.
Watch Trump‘s remarks in the video player above.
„If the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000,“ Trump told the crowd at the Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas. „It will be called the Trump dividend.“
The Republican National Committee launched its midterm convention in Dallas on Wednesday, with President Donald Trump set to be the keynote speaker on Wednesday followed by Vice President JD Vance and the president on Thursday.
The average price for a gallon of diesel fuel in the United States hit an all-time high average price of $5.85 on Friday as the Trump administrationâs war on Iran and its resulting disruptions to the global energy market showed no signs of ending.
US Vice President JD Vance told reporters on Thursday that the United States does not plan to hold talks with Iran unless Tehran stops attacking commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
„They‘ve got to stop. It‘s that simple,“ he said.
It appears that keeping the Strait of Hormuz open is the main goal of the United States.
What we also know is that the wider strategy â based on the military activity that has occurred in the last week â involves preventing Iran from blocking shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Despite fresh US airstrikes on Iranian military targets this week acknowledged by Trump and the Pentagon and the US bombing of a wedding Tuesday nightâan attack that killed at least five Iranian civilians, including a 6-year-old child, and wounded nearly 70 othersâVance told reporters, âRight now, thereâs no active shooting.â
In the very next breath, Vance said, âI recognize there have been places where this has flared up,â but contended that âmajor combat operations only lasted about six weeks,â as a way to make a case that âwarâ is not taking place.
You might even be murdered, without a trial finding you guilty of anything. In addition to Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota last January, ICE agents have murdered two others just this summer.
One was Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, murdered by ICE in Houston on July 7, 2026. Salgado Araujo had lived in the US for decades. ICE agents pursued him in unmarked cars and shot him while he was driving a work crew to a job site. The Department of Homeland Security claims Salgado Araujo tried to use his vehicle as a weapon against an officer, but witnesses dispute this account.
The other was Johan Sebastian DurĂĄn Guerrero, murdered by ICE on July 13, 2026, in Biddeford, Maine. DurĂĄn Guerrero was a 25-year-old immigrant from Colombia. Agents pursued him while he was driving to work. The Department of Homeland Security claims its agent feared for public safety as DurĂĄn Guerrero tried to drive away, but elected officials and family members dispute this account, noting that DurĂĄn Guerrero was not an intended target of the immigration operation.
None of these murders has been fully investigated.
The Iranian Red Crescent Society has asked the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate a missile attack by the United States that hit a wedding party in the southern town of Kuhestak, killing at least four people and wounding dozens.
In a letter to the court on Wednesday, the humanitarian group said the attack warrants âan independent, impartial, thorough, and effective investigationâ given the âcivilian character of the locationâ.

Washington, D.C. â Following the Trump Administrationâs submission to Congress on a proposed U.S.-Saudi civil nuclear cooperation agreement, referred to as a â123 agreement,â Oregonâs U.S. Senator Jeff Merkleyâco-chair of the bicameral Nuclear Weapons and Arms Control Working Group and a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committeeâissued the following statement:
âWith this deal, President Trump is not only triggering a nuclear arms race in the Middle East but also weakening Americaâs security and standing on the world stage.
âThe Presidentâs decision to provide Saudi Arabia with a nuclear deal that does not meet the bipartisan Gold Standard nor mandate the Additional Protocol, both necessary to ensure sensitive U.S. technology is not used to help build a nuclear bomb, is dangerous and a strategic mistake for our national security.
The sudden recent escalation of the Iran war has cast renewed attention on its civilian toll âafter Iran reported 18 dead in the last U.S. assault, including four killed and dozens wounded at a wedding.
Iran‘s health minister said 18 people were killed âand 108 wounded in Tuesday night‘s U.S. strikes across Iran. The Iranian Red Crescent said four people were killed and 67 wounded at a wedding ceremony near the coast of the Strait of Hormuz.
Forced displacement of civilians in occupied territory is considered a war crime under the Geneva Conventions.
„There is no real solution for Gaza in the end without this migration,“ Defence Minister Israel Katz told a conference hosted by Israeli news site Ynet and newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth.
The Israeli government „is organised and prepared to get them outâby sea, by air, by every way possible“, he said.
The city of Kuhestak, located in southern Iranâs Sirik County in Hormozgan province, close to the Strait of Hormuz, was the target of multiple overnight attacks by the United States military, with local sources and authorities saying a wedding ceremony was struck.
The Hormozgan governorâs office on Wednesday identified four victims as four-year-old Amir Ali Karimi, 16-year-old Mohammad Malahi, 43-year-old Kolsoum Malahi and 43-year-old Zarkhatoun Taheri. More than 60 others were wounded, some seriously.
At least four people, including a child, have been killed in a US attack on Tuesday in a residential area near the Iranian city of Sirik, local media reported, citing the Iranian Red Crescent Societyâs provincial branch.
The US strike occurred during a wedding, wounding over 50 people. Rescue efforts in the area remain ongoing.
President Donald Trump greenlights retaliatory strikes on Iran just hours after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was talking about a return to the ceasefire under the memorandum of understanding (MOU). Pezeshkian met Russia‘s Vladimir Putin on Tuesday.
