And yet, as we\u2019ve seen violence rise in the West Bank, nine American citizens have been killed in recent years, and they have received no justice and no accountability. Their families \u2013 and the American people \u2013 deserve answers on their deaths. But today Republicans denied them that. Meanwhile, the Palestinian people have also borne the toll of this violence day in and day out. They too deserve justice and accountability. But again, Republicans blocked that today. While I was pleased that so many of my Democratic colleagues joined this effort, it\u2019s clear the United States must do more. It is our responsibility to ensure recipients of U.S. taxpayer dollars act in line with our laws and our values \u2013 this resolution was an opportunity to shed light on a reality that flies in the face of that principle.\u201dIn an executive order today, Donald Trump called for \u201cartificial intelligence\u201d to be renamed \u201csuper intelligence\u201d.\u201cThe terminology used by the Federal Government should reflect the transformative capabilities of these technologies and the limitless opportunities they create for the American people,\u201d the order reads. \u201cAccordingly, the term \u2018Super Intelligence\u2019 more appropriately captures the promise, potential, and rapidly advancing capabilities of these technologies.\u201dThe order directs \u201cexecutive departments and agencies to use the term in \u201cofficial correspondence, public communications, websites, reports, policy documents, and other non-statutory documents within the executive branch.\u201dJoseph GedeonThe US Senate on Tuesday evening rejected along mostly party lines a Democratic resolution that would have forced the state department to report to Congress on violence in the occupied West Bank, including the killings of nine American citizens by Israeli settlers or security forces over the last few years.The resolution, led by the Maryland Democrat Chris Van Hollen, would have given the state department 30 days to report to Congress on those deaths and on wider human rights conditions in the territory, including Israel\u2019s detention of Palestinian children.The resolution failed to advance by a vote of 47 to 51. Pennsylvania senator John Fetterman, a Democrat, joined Republicans in voting against the resolution, while Kentucky Republican Rand Paul voted in favor.TSA officers will no longer be allowed to sit at airport checkpoints.The Transportation Security Administration confirmed the decision in a statement: This welcome change reinforces both our security posture and \u200bour commitment to hospitality by having \u200cthese officers on \u200ctheir feet and alert.

The White House\u2019s \u201cRapid Response\u201d account shared the analysis in a social media post today.\u201cDuring his campaign in 2016, President Trump repeatedly proposed an outright ban on Muslims entering the United States. He then claimed that this policy idea morphed into the travel ban to avoid potential constitutional problems,\u201d the report states. \u201cDuring his 2024 campaign, he said he would bring back an even stricter ban than the one in his first term. He has succeeded.\u201dCiting state department data, the Cato report states that, \u201cMonthly immigrant visa issuances and permanent lawful refugee admissions fell from 21,096 in December 2024 to 808 in February 2026.\u201dLast week, CNN reported that the Trump administration plans to accept 17,500 refugees in fiscal year 2027, the vast majority of them white South Africans, citing a copy of the report to Congress. Earlier this year, the administration raised the cap for South African refugees, setting a limit of 17,500 refugees from the country.\u201cThe United States anticipates that Afrikaners from South Africa will fully assimilate into the United States in a manner that preserves taxpayer resources for U.S. citizens and does not anticipate other countries resettling Afrikaners,\u201d the report states.Victoria BekiempisDonald Trump has agreed to stop fighting in court the disbursement of E Jean Carroll\u2019s $5m verdict in her 2023 sexual abuse and defamation civil trial against him, a procedural development as these funds were already distributed to her.While the decision does not change anything about Carroll\u2019s receipt of the payout, its revelation effectively means that Trump will no longer oppose the monetary outcome he had long fought.This decision was revealed Tuesday by the United States court of appeals for the second circuit.Responding to Donald Trump\u2019s announcement that AI CEOs had signed a \u201cmorally binding\u201d voluntary agreement today, California representative Ro Khanna said \u201cWe are a nation of laws, not pinky promises.\u201dIn a social media post, the California Democrat added, \u201cTrump let Xi walk away without a binding treaty on AI. And now he\u2019s doing free PR for AI CEOs,\u201d referring to the meetings Trump has held with Chinese president Xi Jinping and tech company executives this week.Donald Trump will begin \u201ca 32-day tour\u201d ahead of the midterm elections. The president said he has been asked to speak at campaign events across the country, including at stops in Texas and Ohio this week.\u201cJust so you understand, they all want me to go. \u2060I\u2019m one person. They all want me to go campaign,\u201d \u200bhe said.Pete Hegseth will reportedly announce additional 10% cuts to the number of generals and admirals serving in the military at an address at Quantico scheduled for tomorrow.The Associated Press reports that Pentagon officials have confirmed the cuts, saying Hegseth will direct all military services to double the 10% reduction that he ordered last spring, for a 20% total decrease to be completed by 1 January.Hegseth, who heads the department of defense, and Donald Trump have already fired or forced to retire more than two dozen military leaders since January 2025.Federal prosecutors have charged a Venezuelan delivery driver shot by ICE agents in Texas this month with one count of assaulting, resisting and impeding a federal officer.Wilber Rafael Garc\u00e9s P\u00e9rez, 28, was shot by federal immigration officers after a traffic stop in Texas on 20 September.As my colleague Emiliano Tahui Gomez reports, Garc\u00e9s P\u00e9rez has spent the past nine days in detention with a bullet lodged in his back, after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) rapidly removed him from a hospital in Austin where he had been taken on Sunday after the shooting.In the court filing, federal prosecutors accused Garc\u00e9s P\u00e9rez of striking an officer with his side mirror while trying to drive away. The charge echoes similar claims federal immigration officers have made about immigrans and anti-ICE protesters, including Minnesota mother Renee Good, \u201cweaponizing their vehicles\u201d.JD Vance and health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are speaking at the conclusion of the Make America Healthy Again summit in Washington.\u201cWe\u2019re never, ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us, \u2018Trust the experts,\u201d Kennedy said, speaking about the potential of AI chat bots at the beginning of his address, to a round of applause from the crowd.\u201cIf somebody tells you, masks work, trust the experts, AI may tell you otherwise. If somebody tells you social distancing works, trust the experts, AI may correct that. And if somebody tells you that a vaccine will correct transmission and infection, oh you need to take it to protect your grandmother, AI may say, it actually doesn\u2019t do that. So it really has the capacity to dominate us, to free us from medical tyranny.\u201dVance and Kennedy spent the majority of the rest of their \u201cfireside chat\u201d discussing unfounded claims that undocumented immigrants are draining federal agencies, including the healthcare sector, of resources. Here\u2019s my colleague Melody Schreiber with more on those claims:Donald Trump has shared a copy of the document AI executives signed during a White House meeting today on Truth Social.In a social media post, Trump attached a copy of the one-page document, called the \u201cWhite House Accord on Super Intelligence,\u201d a term the president favors to artificial intelligence.Signed by Google\u2019s Sundar Pichai, Anthropic\u2019s Dario Amodei, Meta\u2019s Mark Zuckerberg, OpenAI\u2019s Greg Brockman, xAI\u2019s Elon Musk and Nvidia\u2019s Jensen Huang, the agreement states \u201cwe believe every company is responsible for developing its own technology safely.\u201dThe agreement asks AI companies to commit to four layers of internal controls and audits: 1) \u201cimplement robust internal controls\u201d, 2) \u201cempower an internal team\u201d to audit those controls, 3) \u201cpartner with an independent external auditor\u201d and 4) \u201cdesignate an independent committee of the board of directors\u201d.It adds that \u201cthe participating companies will meet regularly to establish standards and best practices\u201d.The United States has withdrawn from a leading international anti-corruption watchdog.The Council of Europe said today that the Trump administration has decided to leave the Group of States against Corruption, a European-led anti-corruption monitoring body established in 1999. The United States joined in 2000. Only Russia and Belarus have previously left the group.The Associated Press reports that a US official confirmed the United States had submitted its withdrawal on Monday.The news of the United States\u2019 withdrawal comes a week after\u201cThe United States has participated in GRECO since 2000 and has been a valuable contributor to its work and to the exchange of experience and good practice in preventing and combating corruption,\u201d the Strasbourg-based Council of Europe said in a statement. \u201cGRECO remains open to resuming cooperation with the United States in the future in support of shared efforts to prevent corruption, strengthen integrity and uphold the rule of law.\u201dThe decision was announced a week after another European organization, the Organization for Security and Cooperation, reported that the United States has declined to allow its members to observe November\u2019s midterm elections.Russell Brand, the English comedian who\u2019s awaiting trial next month over multiple allegations of rape and sexual assault, joked about touching agriculture secretary Brooke Rollins while moderating a panel at the Make America Healthy Again summit in Washington today.After Brand was late arriving to the panel, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator Mehmet Oz said Brand had been hugging Rollins.\u201cShe initiated that contact, to be clear,\u201d Brand said.Brand was slated to moderate a panel on reforming the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services featuring Oz and Chris Klomp, head of the department of health and human services. Klomp, who\u2019s undergoing Senate confirmation hearings to be deputy secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, was replaced on short notice by Dan Brillman, director of Medicaid.In April, Brand \u2013 who is facing charges over allegations made against him by six women \u2013 said he had \u201cexploitative\u201d consensual sex with a 16-year-old girl at the height of his fame during an appearance on the YouTube show of the former-Fox News journalist Megyn Kelly." ], "output": "readability", "pwd": "/data/archive/1790719638.095122", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-09-30T01:17:16.191562+00:00", "status": "succeeded" }, { "cmd": [ "/app/node_modules/readability-extractor/readability-extractor", "/tmp/tmpkqyctku2", "https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/sep/29/donald-trump-iran-ai-jack-smith-media-white-house-latest-news-updates" ], "cmd_version": "0.0.11", "end_ts": "2026-09-30T01:42:37.929235+00:00", "index_texts": [ "Supreme court allows Trump to resume deporting people to third countries for now while justices weigh policyThe supreme court has allowed the Trump administration to resume deporting people to countries other than their own without offering them the chance to show the harms they may face, bolstering a tool Donald Trump has used for rapid expulsions as part of \u2060his immigration crackdown.The justices granted the DOJ\u2019s request to halt \u200bBoston-based US district judge Brian Murphy\u2019s ruling that the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s policy to remove migrants to so-called third countries is unlawful, while the administration appeals the matter to the supreme court.

It is our responsibility to ensure recipients of U.S. taxpayer dollars act in line with our laws and our values \u2013 this resolution was an opportunity to shed light on a reality that flies in the face of that principle.\u201dIn an executive order today, Donald Trump called for \u201cartificial intelligence\u201d to be renamed \u201csuper intelligence\u201d.\u201cThe terminology used by the Federal Government should reflect the transformative capabilities of these technologies and the limitless opportunities they create for the American people,\u201d the order reads. \u201cAccordingly, the term \u2018Super Intelligence\u2019 more appropriately captures the promise, potential, and rapidly advancing capabilities of these technologies.\u201dThe order directs \u201cexecutive departments and agencies to use the term in \u201cofficial correspondence, public communications, websites, reports, policy documents, and other non-statutory documents within the executive branch.\u201dJoseph GedeonThe US Senate on Tuesday evening rejected along mostly party lines a Democratic resolution that would have forced the state department to report to Congress on violence in the occupied West Bank, including the killings of nine American citizens by Israeli settlers or security forces over the last few years.The resolution, led by the Maryland Democrat Chris Van Hollen, would have given the state department 30 days to report to Congress on those deaths and on wider human rights conditions in the territory, including Israel\u2019s detention of Palestinian children.The resolution failed to advance by a vote of 47 to 51. Pennsylvania senator John Fetterman, a Democrat, joined Republicans in voting against the resolution, while Kentucky Republican Rand Paul voted in favor.TSA officers will no longer be allowed to sit at airport checkpoints.The Transportation Security Administration confirmed the decision in a statement: This welcome change reinforces both our security posture and \u200bour commitment to hospitality by having \u200cthese officers on \u200ctheir feet and alert. All officers must meet fitness for duty requirements to \u200cbe capable of performing their vital national security function.\u201cThe TSA workers\u2019 union, the \u2060American Federation \u200bof Government Employees TSA Council 100, criticzed the move, saying it showed \u201cdisregard for workers\u2019 rights and \u2060safety\u201d and that the chairs TSA workers used while checking IDs \u201cserve as basic ergonomic and safety support for officers that stand and walk on hard surfaces all \u2060day.\u201dLegal immigration from 45 Muslim-majority countries fell 96% since 2024, according to a new analysis from the Cato Institute, a libertarian thinktank. The White House\u2019s \u201cRapid Response\u201d account shared the analysis in a social media post today.\u201cDuring his campaign in 2016, President Trump repeatedly proposed an outright ban on Muslims entering the United States. He then claimed that this policy idea morphed into the travel ban to avoid potential constitutional problems,\u201d the report states. \u201cDuring his 2024 campaign, he said he would bring back an even stricter ban than the one in his first term. He has succeeded.\u201dCiting state department data, the Cato report states that, \u201cMonthly immigrant visa issuances and permanent lawful refugee admissions fell from 21,096 in December 2024 to 808 in February 2026.\u201dLast week, CNN reported that the Trump administration plans to accept 17,500 refugees in fiscal year 2027, the vast majority of them white South Africans, citing a copy of the report to Congress. Earlier this year, the administration raised the cap for South African refugees, setting a limit of 17,500 refugees from the country.\u201cThe United States anticipates that Afrikaners from South Africa will fully assimilate into the United States in a manner that preserves taxpayer resources for U.S. citizens and does not anticipate other countries resettling Afrikaners,\u201d the report states.Victoria BekiempisDonald Trump has agreed to stop fighting in court the disbursement of E Jean Carroll\u2019s $5m verdict in her 2023 sexual abuse and defamation civil trial against him, a procedural development as these funds were already distributed to her.While the decision does not change anything about Carroll\u2019s receipt of the payout, its revelation effectively means that Trump will no longer oppose the monetary outcome he had long fought.This decision was revealed Tuesday by the United States court of appeals for the second circuit.Responding to Donald Trump\u2019s announcement that AI CEOs had signed a \u201cmorally binding\u201d voluntary agreement today, California representative Ro Khanna said \u201cWe are a nation of laws, not pinky promises.\u201dIn a social media post, the California Democrat added, \u201cTrump let Xi walk away without a binding treaty on AI. And now he\u2019s doing free PR for AI CEOs,\u201d referring to the meetings Trump has held with Chinese president Xi Jinping and tech company executives this week.Donald Trump will begin \u201ca 32-day tour\u201d ahead of the midterm elections. The president said he has been asked to speak at campaign events across the country, including at stops in Texas and Ohio this week.\u201cJust so you understand, they all want me to go. \u2060I\u2019m one person. They all want me to go campaign,\u201d \u200bhe said.Pete Hegseth will reportedly announce additional 10% cuts to the number of generals and admirals serving in the military at an address at Quantico scheduled for tomorrow.The Associated Press reports that Pentagon officials have confirmed the cuts, saying Hegseth will direct all military services to double the 10% reduction that he ordered last spring, for a 20% total decrease to be completed by 1 January.Hegseth, who heads the department of defense, and Donald Trump have already fired or forced to retire more than two dozen military leaders since January 2025.Federal prosecutors have charged a Venezuelan delivery driver shot by ICE agents in Texas this month with one count of assaulting, resisting and impeding a federal officer.Wilber Rafael Garc\u00e9s P\u00e9rez, 28, was shot by federal immigration officers after a traffic stop in Texas on 20 September.As my colleague Emiliano Tahui Gomez reports, Garc\u00e9s P\u00e9rez has spent the past nine days in detention with a bullet lodged in his back, after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) rapidly removed him from a hospital in Austin where he had been taken on Sunday after the shooting.In the court filing, federal prosecutors accused Garc\u00e9s P\u00e9rez of striking an officer with his side mirror while trying to drive away. The charge echoes similar claims federal immigration officers have made about immigrans and anti-ICE protesters, including Minnesota mother Renee Good, \u201cweaponizing their vehicles\u201d.JD Vance and health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are speaking at the conclusion of the Make America Healthy Again summit in Washington.\u201cWe\u2019re never, ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us, \u2018Trust the experts,\u201d Kennedy said, speaking about the potential of AI chat bots at the beginning of his address, to a round of applause from the crowd.\u201cIf somebody tells you, masks work, trust the experts, AI may tell you otherwise. If somebody tells you social distancing works, trust the experts, AI may correct that. And if somebody tells you that a vaccine will correct transmission and infection, oh you need to take it to protect your grandmother, AI may say, it actually doesn\u2019t do that. So it really has the capacity to dominate us, to free us from medical tyranny.\u201dVance and Kennedy spent the majority of the rest of their \u201cfireside chat\u201d discussing unfounded claims that undocumented immigrants are draining federal agencies, including the healthcare sector, of resources. Here\u2019s my colleague Melody Schreiber with more on those claims:Donald Trump has shared a copy of the document AI executives signed during a White House meeting today on Truth Social.In a social media post, Trump attached a copy of the one-page document, called the \u201cWhite House Accord on Super Intelligence,\u201d a term the president favors to artificial intelligence.Signed by Google\u2019s Sundar Pichai, Anthropic\u2019s Dario Amodei, Meta\u2019s Mark Zuckerberg, OpenAI\u2019s Greg Brockman, xAI\u2019s Elon Musk and Nvidia\u2019s Jensen Huang, the agreement states \u201cwe believe every company is responsible for developing its own technology safely.\u201dThe agreement asks AI companies to commit to four layers of internal controls and audits: 1) \u201cimplement robust internal controls\u201d, 2) \u201cempower an internal team\u201d to audit those controls, 3) \u201cpartner with an independent external auditor\u201d and 4) \u201cdesignate an independent committee of the board of directors\u201d.It adds that \u201cthe participating companies will meet regularly to establish standards and best practices\u201d.The United States has withdrawn from a leading international anti-corruption watchdog.The Council of Europe said today that the Trump administration has decided to leave the Group of States against Corruption, a European-led anti-corruption monitoring body established in 1999. The United States joined in 2000. Only Russia and Belarus have previously left the group.The Associated Press reports that a US official confirmed the United States had submitted its withdrawal on Monday.The news of the United States\u2019 withdrawal comes a week after\u201cThe United States has participated in GRECO since 2000 and has been a valuable contributor to its work and to the exchange of experience and good practice in preventing and combating corruption,\u201d the Strasbourg-based Council of Europe said in a statement. \u201cGRECO remains open to resuming cooperation with the United States in the future in support of shared efforts to prevent corruption, strengthen integrity and uphold the rule of law.\u201dThe decision was announced a week after another European organization, the Organization for Security and Cooperation, reported that the United States has declined to allow its members to observe November\u2019s midterm elections.Russell Brand, the English comedian who\u2019s awaiting trial next month over multiple allegations of rape and sexual assault, joked about touching agriculture secretary Brooke Rollins while moderating a panel at the Make America Healthy Again summit in Washington today.After Brand was late arriving to the panel, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator Mehmet Oz said Brand had been hugging Rollins.\u201cShe initiated that contact, to be clear,\u201d Brand said.Brand was slated to moderate a panel on reforming the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services featuring Oz and Chris Klomp, head of the department of health and human services. Klomp, who\u2019s undergoing Senate confirmation hearings to be deputy secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, was replaced on short notice by Dan Brillman, director of Medicaid.In April, Brand \u2013 who is facing charges over allegations made against him by six women \u2013 said he had \u201cexploitative\u201d consensual sex with a 16-year-old girl at the height of his fame during an appearance on the YouTube show of the former-Fox News journalist Megyn Kelly." ], "output": "readability", "pwd": "/data/archive/1790719638.095122", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-09-30T01:42:34.984304+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ], "screenshot": [], "singlefile": [], "title": [ { "cmd": [ "curl", "--silent", "--location", "--compressed", "--max-time", "120", "--user-agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh;
