The House has left Washington for a more than six-week recess, leaving a growing debate over artificial intelligence regulation unresolved and delaying a Republican lawmaker’s effort to impeach War Secretary Pete Hegseth until after the November elections.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., canceled the House’s remaining votes Wednesday, sending lawmakers home a day earlier than planned. The Associated Press reported that the move sends members back to their districts to campaign for the November midterm elections, which will determine whether Republicans retain control of the House and Senate.

''The House has done its work,'' Johnson told reporters, saying it was time for lawmakers to return to their districts and ''make their case to the American people.''

Experts Urge US, China to Prevent Rogue AI Causing Nuclear Crisis

Melanie Sisson, from the Brookings Institution, said an unplanned nuclear attack could result from AI acting in a way ‘that humans did not anticipate.’

A security expert from the United States and her counterpart from China have warned that rogue AI, or its manipulation by a bad actor, could leave Washington or Beijing with just minutes to decide whether they were coming under a genuine attack from their adversary.

Melanie Sisson, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution think tank, and Tianjiao Jiang, an associate professor at Fudan University, jointly authored an article that was published last week, ahead of talks between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Washington on Sept. 24.

The pair participated in the U.S.-China AI and national security dialogue, which has been convened since 2019 by Brookings and Tsinghua University’s Center for International Security and Strategy. 

Sisson and Jiang have urged the United States and China to prepare for ...

America’s foremost enemies are massing their talents and strengths. U.S. political leaders, however, have yet to name, let alone begin to counter, the growing threat from the “Axis of Aggressors” — China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

The axis is working together to murder Americans and our allies.

Trump: 'Big Decision' Coming on Next Phase of Iran War

By Sandy Fitzgerald | Thursday, 17 September 2026 01:42 PM EDT


President Donald Trump said Thursday he faces a "big decision" on whether to resume massive attacks against Iran as he seeks to bring the nearly seven-month war to an end.

"I have a big decision coming up. Do I want to go in and annihilate them [the Iranian regime] or do I not? It's a big decision," Trump said during an interview with
Axios. "Anything could happen with me."

Trump's comments come ahead of a
planned meeting next Tuesday with leaders from six Gulf countries on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, where the next phase of the war is expected to be a major focus.

Cajun Capitalism: Landry’s Plan to Create Jobs, Counter China, Get Greenland

The governor highlighted more than a quarter-trillion dollars invested in Louisiana during an exclusive interview with The Epoch Times.

BATON ROUGE, La.—Partnering with SpaceX to land a major development contract was an inspiring process for Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry.

While the California Coastal Commission repeatedly rejected requests by SpaceX to increase the number of launches in the Golden State, Louisiana is welcoming the innovative spirit of Elon Musk, the company’s CEO and the world’s richest man.

“Elon is really breathing life into something that used to be tradition for America, and that is ingenuity and dreams,” Landry said. “The South has just embraced it more than other people.”

Elon Musk’s SpaceX is building the world’s biggest launchpad, dubbed Starbase Louisiana, on the Gulf Coast, with initial cost estimates totaling $100 billion for the fully self-sufficient spaceport, complete with sustainable power generation and propellant production.

China reportedly threatened Panama with “serious consequences” after a majority of the country’s lawmakers backed the creation of a parliamentary exchange group with Taiwan.

The newly-created Panamanian parliamentary exchange group with Taiwan has opened a diplomatic rift between Beijing and Panamanian lawmakers less than a decade after Panama abandoned diplomatic relations with Taiwan in favor of China, the
South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported Monday, citing Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun. Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino has publicly distanced his government from the lawmakers’ initiative as Beijing pressures the country to reaffirm its commitment to the one-China principle, the outlet reported. 

“We congratulate Panama for taking steps to assert its sovereignty and align with President Trump’s vision for the Panama Canal,” a senior U.S. official told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “The President has made clear that Chinese control of the Panama Canal is unacceptable, violates the U.S.-Panama Treaty, and jeopardizes our national and economic security.”

In the event of global war, such as World War III, the Panama Canal would be an irreplaceable asset for the U.S. Navy if it needed to rapidly deploy surface vessels for combat in the Pacific Ocean.

The dispute puts Beijing’s pressure campaign squarely in a region Washington considers strategically vital. The Trump administration’s 2026 defense strategy specifically warned that growing adversary influence around the Panama Canal could threaten U.S. access to key terrain in the Western Hemisphere and undermine American security interests, according to the
Department of War.

At the Republican Party’s first-ever midterm convention last week, President Trump promised every adult American a $5,000 “dividend” if Republicans retain Congress in November. The pledge drew immediate backlash from Republicans concerned about inflation, debt, and the prospect of adding roughly $1.2 trillion, before interest, to a federal balance sheet already groaning under its own weight.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz urged the European Union to strengthen its trade defenses against China, saying European companies are facing growing pressure from Chinese competition.

Speaking at a business and trade conference on Tuesday, Merz said Europe needs effective instruments to reduce its dependence on Beijing and protect businesses from “unfair competition.”

“Today, the People’s Republic of China deliberately combines its market-economy dynamism with state intervention, overcapacity, aggressive pricing, an undervalued currency, and heavily subsidized exports,” he said. “As a result, our companies are being put under enormous pressure both in the European Union internal market and in third-country markets.”

The nationalist first ministers of Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland met on Sept. 14 to call for referendums on leaving the UK, saying that “Westminster’s time is coming to an end.”

For the first time since modern devolution began in 1999, the three countries all have first ministers who favor leaving the four-nation union and breaking away from the Westminster government currently led by British Prime Minister Andy Burnham.

The leaders from Wales’s Plaid Cymru, the Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP), and Northern Ireland’s Sinn Fein signed a memorandum of understanding on Sept. 14 that said no Westminster government had the right to “block democracy.”

The meeting followed U.S. President Donald Trump’s comments over the weekend about the possibility of a unified Ireland.

Consumers Open Wallets Again as Retail Sales Top Market Estimates

‘Don’t underestimate the consumer,’ says Money Management International’s Ted Rossman.

Consumers opened their wallets again in August after an unexpected decline in the previous month, new government data show.

U.S. retail sales surged 1.2 percent last month, from a 0.5 percent drop in July, according to a report released by the U.S. Census Bureau on Wednesday. This represented the highest increase since March.

A rebound was widely expected—economists had projected a 0.8 percent gain—as July’s decline was fueled mainly by
seasonal factors, including Amazon moving Prime Day a month earlier and FIFA World Cup festivities concluding.

On a 12-month basis, retail sales edged up 6 percent.

Sales at gasoline stations led the way, with receipts surging more than 3 percent. But even excluding commerce for automobiles and gasoline stations, transactions were broad-based and rose more than 1 percent.
