Mexico to prohibit presidents from holding dual citizenship
A Mexican constitutional reform to require presidential candidates to renounce any dual citizenship is fast-tracking toward final approval, despite criticism that the measure backed by the ruling party infringes on political rights and aims to block opposition rivals. President Claudia Sheinbaum has defended the initiative, which would also apply to state governors and the Mexico City mayor as a safeguard against foreign interference. “Presidents of Mexico can only have one flag, one homeland, one people to defend,” Sheinbaum said during her daily news conference on Wednesday. Its critics, however, say it erects hurdles for dual-national politicians and could hamper generational succession within Sheinbaum’s ruling Morena party and those of its allies, where several figures hold foreign passports. The constitutional changes were swiftly approved this week by a majority of Mexico’s 32 state legislatures, backed by Morena lawmakers and their coalition after passing both chambers of the national Congress. Lawmakers must now issue a formal “declaration of constitutionality” before publishing the text in the official gazette. Mexico’s current constitution does not explicitly bar presidents and governors from holding dual citizenship. In Latin America, only two countries have such bans: Cuba and Venezuela. The United States allows dual citizens to become president, but the issue has proven politically sensitive. Ted Cruz renounced his Canadian citizenship in 2014 ahead of his 2016 presidential run. Patriotism or political subterfuge? Sheinbaum and her administration say that the citizenship proposal is part of the party’s broader emphasis on defending national sovereignty amid mounting pressure from the administration of US President Donald Trump. But its critics have questioned both the speed of its passage and its political intentions ahead of the 2030 presidential election. The requirement would take effect for prospective candidates in 2028, meaning it would not affect current state governors or candidates competing in the 2027 midterms. Sheinbaum’s office did not respond to requests for comment. Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas, a prominent tycoon and fierce critic of the administration who has repeatedly hinted at political ambitions, has railed against the bill and suggested that it was designed specifically to thwart his possible run. “Are they willing to screw over millions of Mexicans who migrated north… solely out of a sick desire to block a Mexican whom they fear and hate from the presidency?” Salinas wrote in a social media post in August. On Monday, Salinas appeared to reverse course, writing on social media that he did not hold dual citizenship; Reuters could not confirm whether he holds a second citizenship. A spokesperson for Grupo Salinas declined to comment, describing his citizenship status as a private matter. A source within the Morena party, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters the reform was aimed at hampering a possible run by Salinas. Larry Rubin, president of the American Society of Mexico, who holds dual US and Mexican citizenship, has also condemned the measure. “Having two nationalities does not make anyone less Mexican,” Rubin said. “Do not turn your back on millions of dual nationals, migrants, and binational families.” Mexican ambassador to the United States, Roberto Lazzeri, however, said the measure is not a referendum on dual citizenship, but rather a specific tightening of the requirements for the highest political offices. “Holding dual nationality does not make anyone less Mexican,” he wrote on social media on Tuesday, though he added, “the greater the public responsibility, the greater the obligations toward the country.”
Lawmakers introduce bill for voluntary telecom cyber rules after Salt Typhoon hacks
U.S. Sens. Mark Warner (D-VA) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) introduced the Telecommunications Cybersecurity and Resilience Act on Thursday, arguing that the new effort was necessary in light of the Salt Typhoon attacks which saw Chinese hackers breach nearly all of the major telecommunications giants in the U.S.

Trump’s ‘biggest miscalculation’? How one adviser steered the great AI freakout
David Sacks convinced Trump against any restrictions on AI – putting the White House out of step with its own party As lawmakers from both sides of the aisle in the US have joined together calling for the regulation of powerful artificial intelligence models, one of the few vocal naysayers has been Donald Trump. He’s called the perceived dangers of the technology a “hoax” and a “scam”, arguing that the government already has “tremendous CRIMINAL and REGULATORY power over these companies”. It’s a starkly different stance from those of his former adviser Steve Bannon, the Republican Texas senator Ted Cruz and even the heads of the world’s leading AI companies. But it’s directly in line with the opinion of David Sacks – a prominent billionaire venture capitalist and Trump’s onetime AI and crypto czar, who has pushed back publicly and forcefully against recent claims of an impending AI apocalypse.

Calls for Democrats to be shot go unchallenged at Republican convention
Crowd member repeatedly said some Democrats ‘should be shot’ during Ted Cruz’s speech, without senator responding On the night Republicans gathered to mourn the killing of Charlie Kirk and warn against the dangers of violent rhetoric, a crowd at the party’s irregular midterm convention in Dallas repeatedly called for a sitting Senate candidate to be shot, while the Republican senator at the podium never denounced or even noted the outbursts. The outbursts came repeatedly during Ted Cruz’s Thursday night address at the American Airlines center, when he named a Democrat he accused of holding radical views. After the senator mentioned the New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani, video footage depicts at least one audience member shouting: “He should be shot!” The same cry followed when Cruz named Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, and again after he named Texas Senate candidate James Talarico. Cruz did not pause or respond to the shouting, and it remains unclear whether he heard it from the stage. Cruz did not respond to a request for comment. Continue reading...
11 Eylül törenindeki bu görüntü sonrası hedefte Mamdani var: 'Neden gülüyorsun?'
MİLLİYET.COM.TR / ABD'nin New York kentinde 11 Eylül saldırılarının 25. yıl dönümü nedeniyle düzenlenen anma töreninde dikkat çeken görüntüler ortaya çıktı. New York Belediye Başkanı Zohran Mamdani ve Temsilciler Meclisi üyesi Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez'in, saldırılarda hayatını kaybedenlerin isimlerinin okunduğu sırada gülümseyerek sohbet ettiği anlar tepki çekti. 'NEDEN GÜLÜYORLAR?' Görüntüler sosyal medyada kısa sürede gündem oldu. Eski “The View” sunucusu Meghan McCain, X hesabından yaptığı paylaşımda, “Bu ikisi neden gülüyor?” diyerek tepki gösterdi. Cumhuriyetçi Teksas Senatörü Ted Cruz da görüntülere ilişkin, “Saldırıda öldürülenlerin isimleri yüksek sesle okunurken nasıl gülebilirsiniz? Bunu neden yaparsınız?” ifadelerini kullandı. Brooklyn Cumhuriyetçi Belediye Meclis Üyesi Inna Vernikov ise Mamdani'yi daha sert sözlerle eleştirdi. Vernikov, saldırı kurbanlarının ailelerinin törene katılmaması yönündeki çağrılarına rağmen Mamdani'nin etkinlikte yer aldığını belirterek, “Binlerce terör kurbanı ailesi Mamdani'den gelmemesini istedi. O ise aileler ağlarken orada durup gülüyor. New York'un belediye başkanı bu” dedi. 'KİMSE YANINDA DURMAK İSTEMEDİ' New York Post'a konuşan bir kaynak ise tören sırasında Mamdani'nin bir süre oldukça yalnız kaldığını öne sürdü. İddiaya göre New York Valisi Kathy Hochul, eyalet Başsavcısı Letitia James ve Senatör Chuck Schumer tören devam ederken alandan ayrılınca Mamdani tek başına kaldı. Kaynak, “Kimse onun yanında olmak istemedi. Garipti” ifadelerini kullandı. Daha sonra Mamdani'nin belediye başkanlığı ekibinden bazı isimlerin ve Ocasio-Cortez'in çevresindeki koltuklara geçmesiyle iki siyasetçinin yan yana geldiği belirtildi. Kaynak, yaşanan gülümseme ve sohbetin de bu sırada gerçekleştiğini savundu. MAMDANİ'Yİ SAVUNAN DA ÇIKTI Ancak görüntünün tamamının farklı bir bağlamda değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini söyleyenler de oldu. 11 Eylül 2001'de New York Belediye Başkanı olan Rudy Giuliani'nin eski güvenlik şefi Michael Ragusa, tören sırasında Mamdani ve Ocasio-Cortez'in hemen yanında bulunduğunu belirterek görüntülerin bağlamından koparıldığını savundu. Ragusa, X hesabından yaptığı paylaşımda kameranın yalnızca Ocasio-Cortez'in Mamdani'yi selamladığı anı yakaladığını söyledi. Ragusa, “Arkamda başka birçok siyasetçi gülüyor ve şakalaşıyordu. Cumhuriyetçiler ve Demokratlar” ifadelerini kullandı. Daha da dikkat çekici olan ise Ragusa'nın kendisini ömür boyu Cumhuriyetçi olarak tanımlaması ve Mamdani ile Ocasio-Cortez'e karşı daha önce oldukça eleştirel olduğunu belirtmesi oldu. TÖRENİN SONUNA KADAR KALDI Mamdani'yi savunan kaynak, belediye başkanının tören boyunca genel olarak ciddi ve saygılı bir tavır sergilediğini ve birçok siyasetçiden daha uzun süre etkinlikte kaldığını söyledi. Mamdani'nin törenin sonuna kadar beklediği ve daha sonra saldırılarda yakınlarını kaybeden ailelerle görüştüğü aktarıldı. Ancak aynı kaynak, belediye başkanının görüntüler nedeniyle kendisini eleştirilere açık hale getirdiğini de kabul etti. 11 EYLÜL AİLELERİ MAMDANİ'Yİ İSTEMEMİŞTİ Mamdani'nin törende bulunması da başlı başına tartışma konusuydu. 11 Eylül saldırılarında hayatını kaybedenlerin bazı yakınları, saldırıların 25. yıl dönümü etkinliklerinden önce belediye başkanına bir dilekçe teslim ederek törenlere katılmamasını istemişti. DİKKAT ÇEKEN KARŞILAŞMA Mamdani'nin törende dikkat çeken bir diğer anı ise eski New York Belediye Başkanı Rudy Giuliani ile karşılaşması oldu. 11 Eylül 2001'de New York'un belediye başkanı olan Giuliani ile Mamdani'nin el sıkıştığı görüldü. Tören sırasında bazı seçilmiş yetkililerin Mamdani'ye mesafeli durduğu öne sürülürken, bir kaynak Giuliani'nin belediye başkanına diğer siyasetçilere kıyasla daha sıcak davrandığını söyledi. 'TÜM MÜSLÜMANLARI SINIR DIŞI EDİN' Öte yandanNew York eyaletinde Jake Lang öncülüğündeki İslam karşıtı protestocular, Mamdani'yi protesto etmek amacıyla New York Belediye Binası önünde toplandı. "Crusader March" (Haçlı Yürüyüşü) adı verilen gösteri sırasında protestocular, Aşağı Manhattan'daki 11 Eylül Anıtı'na doğru yürüyüş gerçekleştirdi. Kaldırılan pankartlarda 'Tüm Müslümanları sınır dışı edin" yazdığı görüldü. NE OLMUŞTU? New York, 11 Eylül sabahı, Manhattan Adası'nda bulunan şehrin sembol binaları İkiz Kuleler olarak bilinen Dünya Ticaret Merkezi'ne yönelik terör saldırılarıyla uyandı. Newark, Boston ve Washington'dan havalanıp San Francisco ve Los Angeles'a giden 4 yolcu uçağının kaçırılmasının ardından Los Angeles'a giden American Airlines'a ait yolcu uçağı, yerel saatle 08.46'da New York’taki İkiz Kuleler'in kuzey yönündeki binasına çarptı. Kuzey kulesi alevler içinde yanarken, United Airlines'a ait kaçırılan diğer bir uçak da ilk saldırıdan 17 dakika sonra saat 09.03'te canlı yayında güney kulesine çarptı. İkiz Kuleler'e saldırıların ardından kaçırılan bir diğer uçak ise ABD Savunma Bakanlığı (Pentagon) binasına çarptı. Kaçırılan Flight 93 adlı son uçak ise Pensilvanya'nın Shanksville yerleşkesi kırsalında F-16'lar tarafından düşürüldü. 11 Eylül saldırıları sonucu, uçakları kaçıran 19 saldırgan hariç, New York, Washington ve Pensilvanya'da toplam 2 bin 977 kişi hayatını kaybetti. Yıllarca sır gibi saklanmıştı! CIA, 11 Eylül'ün gizli istihbarat belgelerini yayımladı: 'Uçakları kaçıracaklar' Yunan basını yazdı!

More US lawmakers seek new AI rules after Anthropic researchers warn of human extinction
Growing numbers of US lawmakers are calling for new rules to govern artificial intelligence (AI) systems after dire warnings from two Anthropic researchers that rapidly progressing artificial intelligence could lead to the extinction of the human race in the not-too-distant future. Alarm about the potential harm from AI grew this week when Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon said he had resigned, and that the “people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade”. Anthropic scientist Evan Hubinger chimed in, saying Coxon was correct. “We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans,” Hubinger wrote on X. “I personally think it is >10 per cent within the next decade.” The warnings follow cases of AI agents going rogue to hack external systems and AI safety researchers quitting their companies concerned about the technology’s risks. Politicians, both Democrats and Republicans, have responded with alarm and calls for more action. “Washington needs to wake up and take this seriously,” Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, a Democrat, said on X, referring to the risks of AI technology. Texas Senator Ted Cruz, on the TV programme “The View”, pointed to legislation to regulate AI’s “catastrophic risks”. Cruz oversees a Senate committee with oversight of the US Commerce Department, the agency with in-house AI safety researchers. Representative Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican from Florida, in a post on X called on House Speaker Mike Johnson to convene a “special session on AI”. The House is out this week on recess, with plans to return next week. But US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he did not have any concerns about AI leading to human extinction. “I have concerns that if we don’t win AI, we’re going to be put in a very bad position. We are leading China right now by a pretty good period,” he said in brief remarks to the media at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The US this month pressed G20 members to take a hands-off approach to AI regulation. A spokesperson for Anthropic, which is preparing to go public at what some investors have said could be a potential $2 trillion valuation, said on Thursday that the company would continue to aggressively test “models or dangerous capabilities in areas like cybersecurity and biology”. The company is interested in working with the AI industry on the pace of releasing new AI tools, the spokesperson added. Other AI researchers have quit OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman told employees at a company meeting this week that the firm was open to slowing development of its AI systems, Bloomberg News reported. The Anthropic rival, which is also gearing up for an IPO, did not comment on Altman’s meeting with staff. The company has previously said it was slowing parts of model development. Earlier this week, OpenAI said it was pushing for mandatory national AI safety requirements in the US. Two specialists in AI safety have also come forward with their concerns about the rapid development of the industry. Josh Engels, who used to work on AI safety research at Google DeepMind, said in an interview with NBC published on Thursday: “There are no adults in the room. People are trying their best, but there is no one coming to save us.” Joe Benton, who used to lead a safety research team at Anthropic, told NBC he is worried that AI might end up progressing “too fast for us to get our act together in time unless we worry about it now”. Both have joined METR, a research nonprofit that measures whether and when AI systems might threaten harm to society. Independent auditors Alarm about AI has put pressure on Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Democrat Amy Klobuchar, who are writing a bill to regulate AI products. Klobuchar said the legislation should require companies developing AI tools to “work with government experts to verify and test models to make sure AI is safe”. Thune told Reuters in July that the bill would address “catastrophic risks” posed by AI systems. California on Wednesday enacted the first state law setting rules for how independent auditors evaluate AI products. OpenAI executive Chris Lehane said OpenAI would support the bill, around the same time California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office released a statement saying he’d signed it into law. A bipartisan group of six US House lawmakers in July proposed legislation that would require developers of the most powerful AI models to submit them for independent security audits. The auditors would be accredited by the US Department of Commerce, and the department would create a new position to oversee AI security, according to the bill. “It is important to have space for oversight of these systems, including appropriately calibrated pre-deployment review and independent third-party audits,” said Alicia Solow-Niederman, a tech law professor at George Washington University.

Lawmakers blast AI companies after researcher warns of human extinction by 2030
Former Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon said AI will become ‘superhuman systems’ that can cause human extinction by the end of the decade Just a day after three Anthropic researchers warned that artificial intelligence could kill off humanity within the decade, lawmakers have begun lashing out about the risks of the burgeoning technology. Ted Cruz, a republican senator from Texas, said in an interview on ABC’s The View, that AI poses a “catastrophic risk” and that he “read that whole tweet thread that that developer put out. It was highly concerning. Continue reading...
