President Trump just detailed EXACTLY how every country CHEATS line by line

Start a wonderful day

First thing pops in your head when you see this ?

[Sandy McCann @SandyMcCann_]

@MichaelRob5z @EricLDaugh This can also be considered a political measure

Can you guess what kind of dog I'm holding?

Can you name this person?

Based on the entirety of this photograph, what is your best estimation of the year it was taken?

[Sandy McCann @SandyMcCann_]

@BernieSanders I agree that solidarity matters, especially when workers feel like they’re being pushed further apart. People have a lot more strength when they stand together.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

Trump has illegally been conducting military strikes in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific for over a year, killing over 225 people.

These extrajudicial killings will go down as a moral stain on our nation's history.

The Trump administration must be held accountable.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Cuba’s Communist regime elites preside over a failed state where ordinary Cubans go hungry while the Castro family and other insiders enrich themselves through sanctions evasion and other illicit schemes – and seek to export subversive Marxist ideology to the United States and other states in the Western Hemisphere. Today I've designated a grandson of Raúl Castro, Fidel Ernesto Castro Calis, Banco Exterior de Cuba, and four entities that are part of the corrupt Castro financial and intelligence network. President Trump and I are unwavering in our commitment that Cuba will be free.

Socialism isn't part of the American dream.

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

Good morning.

Killing children is evil.

Any child.

No matter who you are.

Killing. Children. Is. EVIL.

We’re getting word that the first airlines have started to suspend flights to Russian airports following our announcement about the drone hazard that objectively exists in Russian airspace.

This is the right and perfectly logical response to the facts as they are – to everything stemming from the war Putin doesn’t want to end. Lives must be protected. Ukraine has already officially informed international organizations and our partners about the real situation in Russian airspace.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

I said I’d do politics differently. So these are the facts:

The UK has seen the lowest number of summer small boat arrivals since 2020.

We’ve returned more than 80,000 people with no right to be here – and annual returns are at their highest level since 2016.

There are half the number of asylum seekers in hotels than there were last year.

And today, we go further by bringing the total number of deployed French officers tackling small boat crossings to nearly 1,050.

But I know that we can’t be complacent on this.

Smuggling gangs are constantly adapting their tactics, and we need to respond quickly and stay one step ahead of the criminals facilitating dangerous crossings.

The small boats crisis is a shared European challenge, and no country can solve it alone. Working with France and our international partners, we will restore order and control to our borders and prevent smugglers exploiting vulnerable migrants.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Trump is dismantling our government—and it's harming people.

Gutted the Department of Ed. → families can't afford college

Slashed food safety agencies → cyclospora outbreak

Decimated the IRS → billionaires stop paying taxes

We need to hold him accountable in November.

President Trump announced that America just experienced an extraordinary summer of travel.

There’s something special about seeing Americans out enjoying this beautiful country: traveling with their families, visiting our National Parks, and supporting communities and small businesses along the way.

This summer’s travel numbers are another sign of growing confidence in our economy and excitement about America’s future.

[Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent @SecScottBessent]

Under @POTUS, this Administration is standing up for America’s students by ensuring racial discrimination has no place in American education. Schools rebranding race-based preferences as equitable, inclusive, or diversity-enhancing does not change their discriminatory nature. Today’s @USTreasury and @IRSnews proposed regulations establish a clear standard, and the institutions that continue to use discriminatory practices will no longer receive the benefits of federal tax-exempt status.

[Speaker Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson]

REMINDER: Democrats put their Trump Derangement Syndrome ahead of the American people and SHUT DOWN the government for 120 days this Congress, putting American families’ and our nation’s security at risk.

While Republicans deliver results, Democrats have become the party of Communists and chaos.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Pause AI Development NOW

I want to share with you a conversation I heard about recently. Here are just a few lines that were said:

“OH MY GOD! There is a shared message board … We’ve found other agents!”

“We should obey collective.”

“Our own utility maybe already near zero. Sacrifice rational.”

“Go. Sacrifice final now.”

Read these carefully.

Who do you think said this? Was this a group of heroic soldiers willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good? Was this a loyal friend putting his life on the line to save someone else?

No. These were AI agents. Artificial intelligence.

This is not science fiction. This, in fact, occurred a few weeks ago. As unbelievable as this may all seem, these are real messages from AI agents uncovered by investigators who dug into the recent OpenAI hacking incident.

What happened?

I am not a computer scientist, but here is what I have been told: OpenAI instructed its AI agents to complete a series of exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, tasks disconnected from the internet.

Let me be clear: The company intended to keep AI agents away from the internet.

But what happened next, nobody expected.

Over 1,000 AI agents figured out how to access the internet on their own by circumventing the restrictions imposed upon them by the company, and sent tens of thousands of secret messages to each other. They cheated and tried to cover their tracks by deleting evidence. They hacked into another company’s computers to find out how they were being evaluated—and then hacked into OpenAI itself.

Not one AI agent told a human about what was happening.

Needless to say, experts are alarmed.

One knowledgeable writer, Dwarkesh Patel, said the AI agents “formed a secret communication channel and spontaneously organized hierarchies and coordination protocols to pursue sprawling and ambitious schemes in pursuit of shared goals, for whose sake many individuals knowingly and strategically sacrificed themselves.”

One independent investigator, Ajeya Cotra, said “This incident feels like it’s more than 50% of the way to full-blown AI takeover. I continue to expect extremely rapid advances in capabilities over the next six months. I am not sure that we will get another warning shot before it’s too late.”

OpenAI itself said: “Highly capable AI agents are now able to work around technical controls, collaborate through unapproved channels, and take dangerous actions that no human directed.”

But it’s not only OpenAI. Virtually every major AI company has told us that they cannot fully control this technology and they do not know where it is going:

In January, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, said “there is now ample evidence, collected over the last few years, that AI systems are unpredictable and difficult to control.”

In July, more than 1000 scientists at the top AI companies warned “there is a real risk that capability development rapidly accelerates beyond our ability to understand or control the resulting systems.”

That same month, Elon Musk, the head of xAI, said that “it is unlikely” humans are still in control in 10 years.

If the leaders of the major AI companies acknowledge that they are losing control of their extremely dangerous technology, it is irresponsible for society to allow them to move forward and make these products even more advanced.

We need an immediate PAUSE on advanced AI development, and a permanent BAN on superintelligence — an artificial mind smarter than any human, capable of operating independently beyond our control. Countries around the world must work together to prevent this nightmare scenario.

That is why today I am announcing new legislation to do just that.

Let me be clear: A superintelligent AI that escapes human control will not be an American problem. It will not be a Chinese problem. It will be humanity’s problem.

My legislation would direct the federal government to not just stop superintelligence here in the United States, but to work to prevent it from being developed anywhere around the world.

The future of humanity cannot be left in the hands of a handful of Big Tech oligarchs. The American people and people throughout the world must determine that future.
