Mamdani, Letitia James sue to block Trump admin from refusing immigrants over welfare status

Trump calls AOC, Mamdani laughter at 9/11 ceremony ‘terrible’

President Donald Trump says it was “inappropriate” for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to be laughing during a 9/11 memorial ceremony.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is suing President Donald Trump’s administration over plans to expand federal authority to deny visa and green card applications based on welfare status.

The lawsuit, filed jointly with NY Attorney General Letitia James, targets the Trump administration’s plan to expand the “public charge rule,” which allows the federal government to deny visa applications based on the likelihood that the applicant will receive public benefits. Trump’s administration seeks to expand the list of benefits that apply under the rule, with the change taking effect Sept. 18.

“If you are a citizen, or an individual seeking humanitarian relief like asylum, these changes will not affect you,” Mamdani said at a press conference Monday. “The new public charge rule not only sweeps aside more than a century of established law, it is intentionally vague as a means of creating uncertainty and fear to isolate immigrant New Yorkers.”

WASHINGTON, Sept 14 (Reuters) – The Federal Aviation Administration needs more funding from Congress ​to complete phase one of ‌a $10.6 billion air traffic control reform plan and has underestimated the total ​costs of operating the new ​system, a government report said Monday.

The ⁠Government Accountability Office said the ​FAA had not fully assessed ​the costs of operating the new system or set a detailed schedule for completing ​reforms.

“In essence, the FAA is ​buying delivery speed at the risk of ‌cost ⁠uncertainty and potential disruptions,” the GAO report said, adding “these risks increase the likelihood of FAA repeating ​its history ​of cost ⁠overruns, delays, and unmet performance targets.”

Congress previously approved $9 ​billion for ATC reforms in ​the ⁠first phase set to cost $10.6 billion. The FAA is using $1 billion ⁠from ​its current year ​budget and needs another $574 million, the GAO said.

El-Sayed’s liberal agenda clashes with Muslim voters who back him anyway: ‘Male version’ of Ilhan Omar

Conference attendees said Trump and the Republican Party ‘betrayed’ them on foreign wars and cost of living

DETROIT, MICHIGAN — Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, faces a striking disconnect among some Muslim voters who oppose his positions on abortion and LGBTQ issues yet say they plan to vote for him anyway.

“He is a Democrat with a Muslim mask,” one attendee of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) Convention, who requested anonymity to avoid social reprisals, told Fox News Digital. “Basically he’s like Ilhan Omar, but like a male version.”

He went on to say that, while he takes objection to El-Sayed’s positions on abortion and LGBTQ rights, he “want[s] him to get elected” to improve his community’s “representation.”

Fox News Digital was on the ground at the Islamic Society of North America’s annual conference in Detroit over Labor Day weekend, where El-Sayed delivered the marquee speech amid controversy over past remarks by some conference speakers. The episode has added scrutiny to El-Sayed’s ties to the organization and the political coalition surrounding his campaign.

In total, Fox News Digital spoke to about 10 attendees at the conference, some of whom requested anonymity or declined to be recorded but agreed to speak on background. Several described a tension between their personal views on social issues and their support for El-Sayed, particularly on abortion and LGBTQ issues.

El-Sayed supports codifying Roe v. Wade into law, funding Planned Parenthood, establishing LGBTQ-inclusive sex education and allowing doctors to perform sex-change operations on children. Islamic theology generally takes a more restrictive view of abortion, gender and sexuality, though interpretations vary among Muslims.

Another attendee, a Navy veteran, told Fox News Digital that he strongly opposes El-Sayed’s positions on issues like abortion and LGBTQ sex education, but feels like the Republican Party has let him down following the 2024 election.

“I voted for Donald Trump. When it comes to values, I’m a Republican. But unfortunately they have betrayed us,” he said.

He pointed to the Trump administration’s involvement in foreign wars and cost-of-living concerns as the issues pushing him to support El-Sayed despite the Democrat’s liberal beliefs. Multiple attendees who spoke to Fox News Digital at the conference, including some who declined to be interviewed on the record, said they voted for Trump in 2024 but were planning on supporting El-Sayed in the midterms.

MICHIGAN SENATE RACE: EL-SAYED’S TIES TO EXTREMIST FUEL ANTISEMITISM CONCERNS AMONG JEWISH VOTERS

“We’re concerned about where our tax dollars are going to. A lot of these tax dollars are going to support foreign wars, support countries that aren’t the United States,” Zubin, a longtime El-Sayed supporter, told Fox News Digital. “So I think these are the main issues that resonate not just with the Muslim voters but the everyday voter in all of Michigan.”

Trump’s support for Israel and his military operations in Iran have become growing points of concern for some voters, with polls showing rising dissatisfaction over U.S. involvement in Middle Eastern conflicts.

Trump did uncharacteristically well for a Republican among Michigan Arab Americans in 2024. If support for the GOP slides heavily with that demographic in November, it could spell trouble for the party’s Senate prospects. Republicans, however, are seeking to pick off disaffected Jewish Democrats to gain an edge themselves.

Some attendees who spoke with Fox News Digital were shocked to learn about El-Sayed’s support for abortion and LGBTQ rights.

“Wait, he’s supporting LGBTQ?” one conference attendee, who requested to remain anonymous for social reasons, told Fox News Digital. “I don’t really think that’s good, especially because this is Islam and it prohibits LGBTQ and I do really think that people should abandon… abortion since they’re taking a life away.”

The attendee said he believes if El-Sayed’s social views were more widely known in the Islamic community, his support might decline. Others said they believe the importance of social views among Muslims is dependent on generation.

“So yes, Abdul El-Sayed, maybe his views when it comes to these things, maybe more similar to mine as compared to our parents, our grandparents, yes, with those generations. There may be a little bit of friction, but this is natural,” Zubin said. “I do think, yes, these are probably going to be talking points within the Muslim community.”

Some individuals who spoke to Fox News Digital acknowledged that the Islamic community has some deeply held conservative beliefs, but argued that the community will be able to look past that come November.

“He’s gonna be great for education, and he’s gonna be great for medical,” Fauzi, who was attending the conference, told Fox News Digital. “5-10% of the issues, people may differ. But we have to look at the big picture [and] how he can be impactful for the state of Michigan, the country at large, and all of us here.”

A handful of attendees who spoke with Fox News Digital said their community would be excited if a Muslim Republican ran in their state, while others stressed that the party’s reputation could hamper its ability to appeal to Arab Americans.

“Yes, if you’re a good person, a good politician and running for the Republican Party and you believe in your values and that you can do good, go ahead and run, and I’m sure you can win a lot of support from this community as well,” Zubin said.

“I think it’s very difficult for a Muslim to run as a Republican because, frankly, a lot of Republican voters do tend to have a strong bias against us,” another attendee, who requested to remain anonymous, told Fox News Digital.

Senate returns today for final legislative sprint ahead of midterms

2026-09-14 08:36:30 EDT / CBS News

Washington — The Senate is returning to Washington Monday from a five-week recess, with several priorities to address before leaving town next month to take to the campaign trail.

After successfully pushing off a government funding fight until after November’s midterm elections, and avoiding a possible government shutdown for the time being, the chamber is now expected to turn its attention to a handful of other items — including cryptocurrency legislation and a college sports bill.

The Senate is set to hold a procedural vote on Tuesday on the crypto bill, known as the Clarity Act. The legislation would establish a regulatory framework for digital assets. But whether it can find the 60 votes needed to advance remains to be seen. GOP senators unveiled new text on Sunday, touting more than a year of bipartisan negotiations and dozens of changes as they seek to secure Democratic support.

Senate GOP leaders are also aiming to move forward on a bill regulating college athletics, including name, image and likeness rights and transfer eligibility, with a bipartisan bill known as the Protect College Sports Act. In July, the Big Ten and SEC backed the bill, which also has the backing of the White House. But some lawmakers and advocacy groups have voiced their opposition, making its path forward in the upper chamber uncertain.

Last month, the Congressional Black Caucus said it could not support advancing the legislation in its current form, saying that despite months of negotiations, the bill “has failed to meaningfully incorporate the perspectives of Black athletes, Black coaches, Black agents, HBCUs, or the Congressional Black Caucus.”

“Black athletes have transformed college athletics into one of the most successful enterprises in America,” the caucus said. “Yet the people most affected by this legislation have not been meaningfully included in shaping it.”

The Senate could also take action to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, after it expired in June. The expiration came after lawmakers had reached a bipartisan deal to extend the surveillance authority for three years. But Presidnent Trump disrupted the plans when his selection of Bill Pulte to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence rattled lawmakers.

The to-do list comes as the upper chamber would also like to see progress on the Farm bill, which didn’t advance out of the Agriculture Committee ahead of the recess amid an absence from GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who hasn’t returned to Capitol Hill since he was hospitalized in June. Senate Republicans are also expected to work to approve a series of nominees. Meanwhile, a third reconciliation push, aimed at securing funds for the Iran war, aid to farmers, along with elements of the president’s voting regulations bill known as the SAVE America Act, does not appear likely to see action in the Senate.

The House is also returning Monday after convening earlier this month following their own five-week recess. The House is set to leave town again at the end of the week, and isn’t expected to return until after the midterms. But both chambers are facing pressure to pursue regulations for artificial intelligence, as industry leaders are raising alarm bells in recent days about imposing safeguards on the industry.

A number of lawmakers voiced concern over the weekend, and some legislation, like from Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont on banning superintelligence, has already been unveiled to rein in the industry, while others have advocated for a so-called “kill switch.” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said on ABC’s “This Week” that Congress should take “decisive action,” saying a “high priority will be action on artificial intelligence” when his caucus gathers for a meeting Tuesday. And Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called on Monday for an all-senators briefing from administration officials to discuss its actions on AI.

But House Speaker Mike Johnson said on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday that Congress should resist jumping in and imposing a moratorium, while stressing corporate responsibility. But he also argued that the industry leaders should come together for a meeting at the White House, saying, “we’ve got to summon everybody together.”

“I think we need to go in a big room, close the door and sort this out,” Johnson said. “And I’ll be the one pushing it.”

日媒：朝俄2023年已秘密商讨派兵 援俄朝军至少2288人阵亡

2026年9月14日 20:43 / 姜贵瑛 首尔通讯员

• 日媒引述消息人士称，俄方2023年7月向金正恩提出派兵请求，朝俄由此启动相关谈判，早于两国签署防卫条约约一年。 – 平壤今年4月落成的纪念馆记录了2288名援俄阵亡朝军资料，多数死者年龄介于十几岁后期至20岁出头。 – 消息人士推测超半数阵亡士兵死于自爆，但具体死亡方式目前尚无法独立证实。 – 乌方估计约1万3000名朝军中约3000人死亡；韩研究员估算朝鲜通过售武和派兵收益或超100亿美元。

对俄军事合作不仅为平壤带来可观的经济利益，也被认为正在改变朝鲜长期高度依赖中国的外交格局。图为2025年9月4日，朝鲜领导人金正恩（左）和俄罗斯总统普京在北京出席纪念第二次世界大战结束80周年的仪式时会晤。 （路透社档案照片）

日本媒体披露，朝鲜和俄罗斯早在2024年签署具有相互防卫性质的《全面战略伙伴关系条约》约一年前，就已开始协商向俄乌战场派遣朝鲜军队。报道还称，平壤一座纪念馆记录了2288名援俄阵亡朝鲜军人的资料，其中多数为十几岁后期至20岁出头的年轻士兵。

日本《产经新闻》引述曾参观平壤“海外军事作战战斗伟勋纪念馆”的朝鲜消息人士报道，馆内展示资料记载，2023年7月访朝的俄军事代表团曾向朝鲜领导人金正恩提出派兵请求，双方以此为契机启动相关谈判。朝俄随后公开表明加强军事合作的意愿，但双方当时并未透露曾讨论派遣朝军。

朝俄于2024年6月俄总统普京访朝期间签署《全面战略伙伴关系条约》，规定一方遭受武力攻击并进入战争状态时，另一方应提供军事援助。同年秋季，朝鲜开始向俄派兵，并投入俄西部库尔斯克地区作战。这意味着，双方早在正式签署条约前约一年，就已着手讨论派兵问题。

《产经新闻》同时披露朝鲜援俄部队的阵亡情况。消息人士称，纪念馆记录了2288名阵亡朝军的资料，其中300名被授予“英雄”称号者的墓碑竖立在纪念馆旁，其余阵亡者的骨灰盒则安放在馆内二、三层。

据称，墓碑和骨灰盒上刻有阵亡者姓名、出生日期和死亡原因等资料，多数死者年龄介于十几岁后期至20岁出头。纪念馆内还展出一份朝鲜士兵宣誓“绝不成为乌军战俘”的文件。

这位消息人士推测，超过一半阵亡士兵死于自爆，另有不少人死于无人机袭击。不过，有关具体死亡方式的说法目前尚无法独立证实。

这座纪念朝鲜援俄作战人员的纪念馆今年4月在平壤落成，金正恩与俄国家杜马主席沃洛金、防长别洛乌索夫等俄方高层出席竣工仪式。

据乌克兰估计，自2024年底以来派往俄罗斯的约1万3000名朝军中，约3000人死亡、1500人受伤。

韩国国家安全战略研究院首席研究员林守镐估算，朝鲜通过向俄出售武器和派兵获得的收益可能超过100亿美元（约127亿新元），相当于朝鲜国内生产总值（GDP）的近三分之一。对俄军事合作不仅为平壤带来可观的经济利益，也被认为正在改变朝鲜长期高度依赖中国的外交格局。

英国广播公司（BBC）分析，派兵援俄对朝鲜具有巨大的经济和政治价值，而俄罗斯同样迫切需要朝鲜提供兵力和武器。朝俄由此形成各取所需的互利关系，但随着朝军伤亡不断增加，这一联盟也正付出越来越高的生命代价。

（基辅综合电）俄罗斯一架无人机星期天（9月13日）击中乌克兰与北约成员国波兰边境附近的一列客运列车，幸好没有造成人员伤亡。由于袭击差点殃及载着欧洲好些政界人士的列车，这起事件格外引发关注。

乌克兰国家铁路公司事后发声明说，袭击地点是乌克兰境内、毗邻波兰边境的亚霍丁（Yahodyn）车站。事发前不久，英国前首相约翰逊及多名欧洲政界人士和外交官乘坐的列车刚驶离车站。

声明指出，这架无人机原本的攻击目标，很可能是约翰逊等人乘坐的外交列车，只是这趟列车比原定时间提前出发。乌克兰国铁没有透露约翰逊等人当时距离遇袭地点有多远。

据悉，当时有两列外交列车，约翰逊和瑞典前首相比尔特乘坐的列车先离开；袭击发生时，美国中央情报局前局长彼得雷乌斯所乘的列车正停在亚霍丁车站。

彼得雷乌斯接受《纽约时报》电话采访时描述，他听到列车上方传来俄罗斯无人机的声音。他和车上其他乘客随即被紧急疏散。不久后，听到巨大的爆炸声。

彼得雷乌斯说，事后拍摄的照片显示，那是一架喷气式俄罗斯无人机，在撞击了他所乘列车旁边另一列火车的车头后，发生了爆炸。

约翰逊、彼得雷乌斯和欧洲官员一行人是在基辅出席一年一度的雅尔塔欧洲战略论坛后，分乘外交列车离开乌克兰。事发地点距离波兰边境只有两公里。

约翰逊星期天在Instagram上发文，谴责这起袭击。约翰逊说：“我不知道（俄总统）普京是出于何种扭曲的逻辑，竟在今天上午下令炸毁一列停在波兰边境的乌克兰火车。可以肯定的是，这就是乌克兰人每天都在承受的那种无差别、毫无意义的袭击，即使是民用铁路也无法幸免。”

乌克兰总统泽连斯基谴责俄罗斯故意发动这次袭击。波兰总理图斯克则在首都华沙召开紧急会议，警告俄罗斯可能在接下来几周升级战争。

图斯克说：“我们不能排除局势升级会波及波兰领土的可能性。我希望这不会发生。”

波兰外长西科尔斯基指俄罗斯在北约家门口日益频繁的袭击行动，是一种“升级”态势。对此，盟友应该加大力度帮助乌克兰对抗俄罗斯。

针对这起袭击事件，俄国防部说，袭击目标是乌克兰西部用于转运欧洲军事物资的基础设施。

俄罗斯最近加大攻击乌克兰边境的铁路基础设施。星期天，除了亚霍丁车站遭无人机袭击，乌克兰中部的铁路设施也遭到攻击。

As AI rhetoric heats up, Congress stalls on action

September 14, 2026 / 10:56 AM EDT / CBS News

By Caitlin Huey-Burns

Caitlin Huey-Burns is a congressional correspondent for CBS News and a fill-in anchor for the CBS News 24/7 politics show “America Decides.”

The House is slated to recess at the end of this week through early November, but a group of House Democrats is calling on Speaker Mike Johnson to delay that recess until lawmakers pass AI safeguards.

“Reasonable minds may disagree about precisely how Congress should regulate this rapidly evolving technology. We cannot disagree about the imperative for Congress to act,” the Democratic lawmakers said in a statement.

Johnson argues Congress needs more time to get the policy right, and that AI companies bear responsibility.

“If Congress just races in and does some sort of emergency session to try to regulate AI, we will lose the race to China, and that is a threat to every single American” Johnson told CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday.

President Trump appeared to share that assessment, dismissing the concerns of AI executives.

“We’re leading China in AI. We’re the most sophisticated country in the world. And frankly, I want to keep it that way because whoever wins AI wins,” Mr. Trump told reporters at his golf course in Ireland over the weekend. “We can put guardrails, we can do this and that. But I think you have a lot of negative voices that are bringing it up that shouldn’t be bringing it up.”

Mr. Trump on Sunday night said that he’s not “downplaying” the risks of AI, but “it’s going to be more good than bad.”

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ai-congress-stalls-trump/

The White House has said the administration is working on an AI framework, but it’s unclear what that looks like. Mr. Trump’s former AI czar, David Sacks, argued that AI companies should “go ahead” and regulate themselves. “I support your decision to be responsible, ” Sacks wrote in a social media post. “But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission.”

The calls for White House regulation come ahead of Mr. Trump’s planned meeting next week with Chinese President Xi Jinping amid the AI development race.

There are several legislative proposals on Capitol Hill to implement regulations on AI, ranging from transparency mandates and audits, to a federal “kill switch,” to a waiver of antitrust laws to allow companies to coordinate on safety standards.

Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont has proposed legislation for an outright ban of superintelligent AI and to pause AI development until federal safety rules are established.

And as Congress shows an inability to act, the issue is spilling over on the campaign trail. At a fundraiser last week, former President Barack Obama urged Democrats to come up with a clear message ahead of the midterms.

“This is something that is moving very fast in private hands, and if we don’t get on top of it, I think can be dangerous. If we do get on top of it, I do think it’s beneficial,” he said, during a fireside chat with House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on Sunday embraced Sanders’ proposal during an appearance on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.”

“We need to act, and we need to act now,” El-Sayed said. “So, we’ve also been calling for a pause on any of this frontier AI research until we can assure that this is being done safely.”

在柏林加大力度应对来自莫斯科日益严峻的混合威胁之际，德国检察官起诉了一名涉嫌为俄罗斯从事间谍活动、拥有德国和乌克兰双重国籍的女子。

路透社报道，德国联邦检察官办公室星期一（9月14日）发声明说，名为伊洛娜·W（Ilona W.）的被告，被控自2023年10月或更早前开始，与俄罗斯驻柏林大使馆的一名情报官员保持联系。

声明称，伊洛娜通过主动接近并结交德国国防部的前员工，搜集了有关德国国防政策和国防工业的情报。声明说，她目前仍被还押待审。

俄罗斯驻柏林大使馆未立即就此回应置评请求。

伊洛娜在今年1月21日被捕。在她被捕第二天，德国政府驱逐了一名涉嫌从事间谍活动的俄罗斯外交官，并为此召见了俄罗斯驻德大使。
