Trump's Save America Act — requiring proof of citizenship to register and photo ID to vote — does not have enough support in the Senate to pass.
New York became the first US state to halt the development of large AI data centers, with Governor Kathy Hochul announcing a moratorium of up to one year.
New York's moratorium on large AI data centers could last up to one year while the state develops new environmental and energy standards.
Japan's Nikkei average gained more than a thousand points as stocks across Asia traded mixed.
Iran struck at least seven commercial ships in a single week, leaving nearly a dozen crew members killed, wounded, or missing. The US has reinstated a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, with Trump demanding full control — a goal that military analysts say would require eliminating Iran's drone and missile capabilities.
China's economy grew just over 4% in Q2 2026, the slowest pace in more than three years. While export booms in AI goods and electric vehicles offered partial support, youth unemployment and weak domestic demand exposed deep structural cracks — and Beijing's own target is now the least ambitious since 1991.
Two men died during immigration enforcement traffic stops — one in Maine, one in Texas — and neither was the intended target. DHS has now paused all such stops, with border czar Tom Homan ordering a review of ICE officer training, while no video evidence has been presented to support the agency's claims about the men.
New York just became the first US state to put the brakes on large AI data center development. Governor Kathy Hochul's moratorium could last up to a year while the state writes new environmental and energy standards — and she wants to strip away sales tax exemptions too, as dozens of other states watch closely.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche heads to the Senate Judiciary Committee for two days of confirmation hearings. Senators are expected to press him on the Justice Department's independence and its handling of the Epstein files — two of the most politically charged issues facing the department.
At least 6 people were killed in an earthquake in Peru, NPR reported in a brief bulletin.
The U.S. military hit Iran for the ninth consecutive night while simultaneously absorbing its third service member death since Friday. A soldier in northern Iraq was killed by an unexploded weapon from a downed Iranian drone — a lethal reminder that the battlefield extends well beyond the airstrike headlines.
A U.S. service member died Saturday in northern Iraq during a controlled detonation of an unexploded weapon from a downed Iranian drone. That brings the toll to three American deaths since Friday, when two soldiers were killed in an Iranian attack in Jordan — and unidentified remains were still being examined at the Jordan attack site.
Russia launched massive missile and drone strikes on Kyiv, hitting residential buildings, businesses, and an underground metro passage used as a civilian bomb shelter. The assault came just 24 hours after Ukraine struck two Wildberries warehouses in Russia — killing 8 workers — in what Kyiv claims was a strike on military drone supply lines.
Trump released declassified documents at a White House speech claiming U.S. elections are vulnerable — but offered no new evidence of fraudulent votes. Georgia's own election chief fired back with a data point so stark it stops the argument cold: exactly one noncitizen vote found going all the way back to 1996.
Spain won the FIFA World Cup with a 1-0 defeat of Argentina — but the scoreline barely hints at the dominance. Argentina didn't register a single shot on goal until the 115th minute of a match decided by Ferran Torres' strike in the 106th. A 39-year-old Messi watched the ceremony in visible emotion.
Andy Burnham will become Britain's seventh prime minister in a single decade after being the only Labour candidate to secure enough parliamentary votes to replace Keir Starmer. He meets King Charles at Buckingham Palace on Monday for the formal handover — underscoring the extraordinary political turbulence that has defined British governance.
