The Trump administration's assault on the rule of law continues. Despite rhetoric about protecting Americans, the anti-ICC crusade is mostly motivated by a desire to shield Israeli officials from accountability. (Rubio's political ambitions may be relevant here.) www.reuters.com/world/us-imp...

The ICC is the cornerstone of the international criminal justice system. It prosecutes individuals responsible for the most serious crimes under international law.

Navi Pillay wins the Nobel Peace Prize, and this the response. It’s the pettiness of it that disgusts as much as anything else, and the servility of those who go along with it. To adapt the line about Caligula: “Never better slaves to a worse master.”

NEWS: Eight major U.S. allies—including Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan—have issued a joint rebuke of the Trump regime’s sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court. They vow “unwavering support” for the ICC’s independence.

A vertical graphic on a white background displays an October 9, 2026, joint statement from the foreign ministers of Canada, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The full statement, presented in black serif text, reaffirms unwavering support for the International Criminal Court (ICC), strongly opposes U.S. sanctions against the Court, warns of their impact on its work, staff, and families, and pledges continued support for international justice, accountability, and the rules-based international system.

Axios reports AI companies are preparing for a catastrophic event in the next six to 12 months.

Top executives at Anthropic, OpenAl and other Al companies are privately gaming out scenarios for a public and political revolt after a catastrophic AI event.
Why it matters: These officials anticipate a large-scale event, most likely a cyberattack, that shuts down access to financial services, internet connectivity, or even power and water.
