Importantly, CODE RED rejects both the “Doomer” mentality as well as unrestrained enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, treating AI as neither an apocalyptic evil nor as a flawless utopian good —…

The Taliban junta in Afghanistan said on Tuesday that at least 400 people were killed and 250 injured by a Pakistani airstrike that hit a 2,000-bed drug rehabilitation hospital in Kabul. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid accused Pakistan of deliberately “targeting hospitals and civilian sites to perpetrate horrors.” “The Pakistani military regime has once again violated Afghanistan’s airspace and targeted a drug rehabilitation hospital in Kabul, resulting in the death and injury of addicts who were undergoing treatment,” Mujahid said. “We strongly condemn this crime and consider such an act to be against all accepted principles and a crime against humanity,”…

Americans hated President Joe Biden’s loose borders, Pennsylvania’s Sen. John Fetterman said on Wednesday as he suggested he would confirm Sen. Markwayne Mullin to the homeland security post. “Americans don’t like chaos,” Fetterman said to Mullin, adding: America definitely didn’t like the kinds of chaos during the Biden administration at the border. As a Democrat, I was alarmed that there were up to 300,000 encounters at our border once a month… That’s not sustainable, and that’s not manageable, and it’s making it impossible for us to assimilate [migrants]. “My experience with you has been consistent kindness and professionalism,” Fetterman told…

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is continuing to arrest illegal aliens convicted of crimes like murder, child sexual abuse, and robbery, among others. “Yesterday, ICE arrested criminal illegal alien murderers, pedophiles, and sex criminals – the very definition of depraved,” the Department of Homeland Security’s Lauren Bis said in a statement: Under President Trump, if you come to our country illegally and break our laws, we will find you and arrest you. There is nothing that will stop ICE from putting American families, American children, and American lives first. [Emphasis added] Among those arrested by ICE agents this week is Sergio…

A committee vote on Sen. Markwayne Mullin’s confirmation as Homeland Security secretary remains on track for Thursday despite a fiery sparring session Wednesday between the Oklahoma Republican and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, the chair of the panel that must approve his nomination. A spokesperson for Paul said after the tense exchange — during which Mullin refused to apologize for comments saying he “understood” why Paul was violently assaulted in 2017 — that the committee vote “is on for tomorrow.” As chair of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Paul has wide latitude to schedule action on Mullin’s nomination.…

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Wednesday laid out his case for why Congress needs to embrace a short and clean reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Authority (FISA), a key surveillance authority. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and House Republican leadership are advancing an 18-month extension of Section 702 next week, which would give the Senate enough time to also pass the legislation to reauthorize the spy authority before its April 20 deadline. The Trump administration supports a clean extension of the surveillance authority. Section 702 is a surveillance authority meant to be used to spy…

Chile National Prosecutor Ángel Valencia on Monday requested U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to interrogate Nicolás Maduro about the assassination of exiled Venezuelan dissident Ronald Ojeda. Valencia traveled to Washington and had a work meeting with Bondi, seeking to strengthen security cooperation between Chile and the United States as well as cooperation in the fight against organized crime. The Chilean Public Prosecutor’s Office detailed that the first topic addressed by Valencia and Bondi was the prosecution of money laundering and the protection of the two countries’ financial systems. The second subject, Valencia said, was to continue strengthening Chile’s cooperation with the…

Tuesday on CNN’s “The Lead,” Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) said the SAVE America Act was about Republicans purging voters. Gallego said, “Let’s be clear this is about suppressing the vote. Not only that, it also says it’s going to try to get rid of vote by mail, something that’s very popular all across the country. They’re introducing an amendment to actually add that also from Eric Schmidt from Missouri. And then lastly, they’re going to purge. They’re going to demand that every state send their voter registration rolls to Homeland Security. They’re going to send back a purge list. And there…

Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he is confident Sen. Markwayne Mullin will be confirmed as the next secretary of Homeland Security despite a contentious exchange with fellow GOP Sen. Rand Paul at a hearing Wednesday. Paul, the chair of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, sharply questioned the Oklahoma senator about past remarks that he “understood” why Paul suffered a heinous assault from a neighbor in 2017. Mullin refused to apologize for the remark. “Those two obviously have some history, and it’s, you know, personal stuff,” Thune said. “They’ve got to work through it. I mean, in the…
