Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas) is objecting to the notion that America should be focused on winning the AI race.“The AI race is not an arms race that you win,” Casar said during the POLITICO Decoded Summit in D.C. “It’s an arms race that we need to end, and we need to protect the American people.”Casar also questioned the idea that competition with China should dissuade the U.S. from putting guardrails on AI, and noted he plans to release bill text for a proposal banning superintelligence. He also reiterated his push for CEOs of the leading AI companies to testify before…

The Democratic Party appears increasingly dominated by openly radical left politicians who only temper their disdain for the United States while campaigning. The party controlling the White House typically loses seats in the House and Senate in midterm elections. There is a reason…

Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman revealed the discovery on Monday at the annual conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations body tasked with nuclear issues.

On Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) said that, with AI, we can’t take the same approach that led to “Web 2.0, where people like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk can platform hate and toxicity” due to Congress not wanting to regulate social media. Auchincloss said that the notion that members of Congress lack the tech savvy to regulate AI is “a defeatist and cynical attitude. It’s the same attitude in the 1990s and early 2000s that led members of Congress to not want to regulate social media. Back then, they called it computer interactive services.…

Nearly two thirds of Americans surveyed in a new POLITICO poll out Wednesday see at least a moderate risk that artificial intelligence will destroy humanity, and nearly half favor pausing development of more advanced models.The survey, conducted this week, magnifies the pressure some lawmakers say they’re facing from constituents to rein in the industry’s latest models. More than 100 House Democrats are urging House GOP leaders Wednesday to keep the chamber in session until they pass “meaningful, bipartisan AI safeguards,” POLITICO scooped.“I’ve just come back from Connecticut, and as I went around the state, a lot of people were talking…

Screencap of Twitter/X video. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appeared on the Sean Hannity show on FOX News last night and explained why the 2026 midterms are different from midterm elections in the past, mainly because of the introduction of DSA radicals in the Democrat Party. He comes right out and plainly says that the DSA show that Democrats can’t be trusted with power. DeSantis correctly points out that if these radicals are allowed into office, they will create a situation that will be very difficult to recover from. It’s horrifying to think of what these people would do, given the…

Madrid is reportedly planning to give beds to 10,000 illegals in Spain’s North African Ceuta exclave, undermining claims made by the Sánchez government and indicating that the crisis facing the small city is nowhere near over. While Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska claimed last month that there only remained around 5,000 illegal aliens in Ceuta following the dramatic storming of the border by an invasion of upwards of 70,000 migrants from Morocco in July, reports indicate that the true number remaining within the city is much higher.
