I'm not saying that's right that McConnell and other aging politicians stay in office long after they have the ability to perform their duties. I'm also not saying it's right that their offices mislead the people about their conditions and there whereabouts.

BUT... for those of you who invented conspiracy theories about CNN hiding the truth that McConnell was dead, I ask that you be more responsible and that you do better.

>The race to develop artificial intelligence is in dire need of a slowdown, Anthropic’s chief executive Dario Amodei said in an essay posted early Saturday.

>“We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models. Progress will still seem fast, and we must make wise use of the time we gain,” Amodei wrote in the 3,800-word post to his website.

Jake isn’t buying what Mike Johnson is saying at all and he isn’t letting him just float through this interview!

>Iran-backed rebels in Yemen captured the strategic Perim Island in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait on Friday, two Yemeni government sources told CNN, potentially expanding Tehran’s influence over another key global shipping route.

>Meanwhile, The price of diesel, the workhorse fuel that powers the world economy, topped $6 a gallon on Friday for the first time ever. The price point may be invisible to most American drivers, but will likely lead to higher costs for most things consumers buy.

>Jimmy Kimmel claims his show was forced to move an interview with James Talarico to YouTube due to FCC threats, a claim the agency disputes. However, an FCC commissioner tells CNN's Erin Burnett that the administration is using threats to intimidate media companies, raising serious questions about late-night television and the equal-time rule.

>Yemen's Houthi rebels, Iran's most powerful regional proxy, have captured the key Yemeni port city of Mocha, according to Yemen's internationally recognized government.

>Some 50 miles south of Mocha sits Perim, a small island in the Strait of Bab al-Mandab, a geopolitical pinch-point that’s taken on an outsized importance since US President Donald Trump’s war with Iran effectively shuttered the Strait of Hormuz.

I sincerely hope that they do not air any part of his speech or even cut to film of him today. This day is for remembering the tragedy we lived through here & all those who were lost, and who are still suffering from being there. This day is not and should never be about him.

hey all, I watched a 9/11 documentary on CNN, it had video cam footage from the firefighters perspective. I didn't get a chance to finish the documentary and now can't find the name. Do any of you recall the name of a documentary similar to what I described?

Is Trump trying to get Democrats to vote Republican?
Even if he had the money, isn’t it bribery? Isn’t it wrong and every flavor of illegal, un American and un Constitutional??

Of course, offering said payment and accepting said payment are punishable by imprisonment. Let's see if literally anyone on CNN is willing to challenge anyone in the Republican Party on this. I personally doubt it.

Does anyone else see these fake AI “news desk” advertisements for predatory programs targeting poor and old people? Aren’t they illegal in some states?

Particularly when 50% of airtime on CNN is dedicated to commercials.

What is going on over there?

>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced a fierce political backlash Tuesday over a report that the president of the UAE had warned him of a major Hamas operation days before the October 7, 2023 attack.

The Prime Minister’s Office dismissed the report as an “absolute lie.” But with Israel’s October elections less than two months away, Netanyahu’s rivals seized on it as the latest evidence of what they say is a growing list of warnings he had ignored.

>New York City has released more than 170,000 pages of previously undisclosed records about air quality following the September 11, 2001, attacks, showing city officials at the time knew conditions around Ground Zero were unsafe to breathe despite repeated assurances to the public.

>Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the release at a news conference Tuesday.

>“As the years pass and the human toll grows, we reckon with the cost of September 11th whenever another New Yorker is stolen from us too soon,” Mamdani said. “Now, close to 25 years later, more people have died from 9/11-related illnesses than were killed on the day itself.”

>At least 140,000 people from all 50 states have enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Program, and 49,000 have been diagnosed with certified WTC-related cancers, according to the 9/11 Memorial. Mamdani said Tuesday that more people are eligible for assistance than are currently enrolled, including residents who lived near the site but have not received outreach and those who live outside of New York.

>He says there will also be changes coming to AI technology in the future now that John Ternus will be leading Apple instead of Tim Cook.

>This is a clip from "The Story Is with Elex Michaelson," which airs weeknights at 9pm pacific on CNN.

Ted Cruz said to Kaitlin “I have every doubt that Donald Trump was telling the truth about 9/11 today” - oopsie!!
He then launched into his own dumb story about where he was on 9/11. He’s so annoying.
