'Trump will be gone in three years': Top Democrats try to reassure Europe US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was the centre of attention at the Munich Security Summit, as European leaders wondered apprehensively what tone he would strike in his remarks on Saturday. While his speech did not fully allay their concerns, it has been viewed as a reassurance to allies that while US relations may have frayed under Donald Trump, they will not break. Rubio's was not the only American political voice at the security summit, however. And even if the secretary of state's remarks had not been so well-received - if he had sharply criticised Europeans the way Vice-President JD Vance did at the conference last year - there were other American politicians doing their best impression of the Persian poet, counselling: This too shall pass. If there's nothing else I can communicate today, California Governor Gavin Newsom said at a conference event on Friday, Donald Trump is temporary.

Before boarding Marine One on Tuesday afternoon, President Trump challenged two progressive Democrat congresswomen to an intelligence test. President Donald Trump lobbed a signature zinger on Tuesday as he paused to speak with reporters before boarding Marine One en route to an artificial intelligence summit. "[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez], look, I think she's very nice, but she's very low IQ, and we really don't need low IQ," Trump said, smiling as cameras rolled. He added, "Between her and Crockett, we're going to give them both an IQ test to see who comes out best."

Media figures and Democrats warned women will face dire consequences if former President Trump is re-elected. Ohio senator and Republican candidate for vice president JD Vance took aim at Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's football IQ after the Democratic vice presidential nominee posted a confusing tweet during a livestream of himself playing Madden. "They parade Tim Walz around as some kind of football genius as a former football coach, and maybe I know more about football than Gov. Tim Walz does," Vance said during a rally in Saginaw, Michigan on Tuesday. The comments come after Walz teamed up with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., to livestream a session of the two playing the Madden NFL video game against each other, an event that was reportedly an effort by the campaign to widen its appeal among young male voters. Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz addresses the crowd at a "Native Americans for Harris-Walz" event at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024.

More than two dozen prostitutes line a Queens New York City street soliciting sex. At the exact time Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was live-streaming her "Madden" NFL video game session with vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, on Twitch, her constituents were taking to the streets to protest rampant illegal prostitution and crime in the neighborhood she represents. The progressive "Squad" member was slammed by fellow Democrat politician Hiram Monserrate for playing the video game on the streaming service Sunday afternoon while residents from her district held a rally calling for their community to be cleaned up. "We need advocates not gamers," Monserrate, a former New York state senator who is running for State Assembly, told Fox News Digital. The Queens neighborhood is well known as a "Red Light" district, with some residents comparing the unsanitary and seedy conditions to a "Third World" country.

Vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Sunday streamed themselves playing an American football video game against each other on Sunday as the two Democrats continued their party's efforts to secure votes from young men just nine days before the White House election. During the stream of their showdown on the latest edition of the Madden game series, Ocasio-Cortez and Walz exalted the importance of regaining Democratic control of the US House, maintaining a majority in the Senate and ensuring Kamala Harris wins the 5 November presidential election against Donald Trump. "We don't all share the same politics, we don't all share the same views, but the need to defeat Trump this year has been my number one priority," Ocasio-Cortez said. She echoed others who have called Trump an aspiring authoritarian ruler and fascist supported by special interests who are exacerbating the ongoing climate crisis. She also discussed how the billionaire owners of the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post prevented their editorial teams endorsing Harris over Trump, referring to it as "a plutocracy mask-off moment".

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., emphasized the possibility that Vice President Kamala Harris will be the "first woman President of the United States" during a late-night appearance with Stephen Colbert. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., predicted that Vice President Kamala Harris will be the "first woman President of the United States" during a late-night appearance on Thursday, conspicuously leaning into identity politics. Following the end of the Democratic National Convention, the progressive lawmaker went on CBS' "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and played up how remarkable it is that Harris could become president. We will have the first woman President of the United States in November," Ocasio-Cortez predicted to raucous applause. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., predicts that Vice President Kamala Harris will be the first woman president. Playing up the drama in her declaration, the congresswoman talked about how she grew up only seeing depictions of female leadership in episodes of "Star Trek: Voyager" that she watched with her dad as a kid. But now that Harris has been nominated, that fantasy is one step closer to reality. "My dad felt it very important for me to watch this because he wanted me to see an example of a woman in leadership, and when I was a kid the only example of that was in science fiction." She continued, "And today represents a day where it has become our reality." The late-night show audience went wild at the prospect. She also had a welcome interviewer in Colbert, a rabid Democratic supporter who even moderated a fundraiser for President Biden before he was forced off the 2024 ticket. Colbert then asked the lawmaker about her statements earlier this year warning that the Democratic Party will not unite behind Harris if President Biden steps aside. Reading her quote, he said, "'If you think that there is a consensus among the people who want Joe Biden to leave that they will support Vice President Harris, you will be mistaken." The host then asked her, "Have you ever been happier to be wrong?" She replied, repeating the word, "Ecstatic" several times. CNN'S DANA BASH ARGUES DNC APPEALS TO MEN WHO ARE NOT SO'TESTOSTERONE-LADEN' Colbert continued, "You didn't think this would necessarily happen?" to which she said, "No, and I think it is important that this was not predestined, this was not predetermined." "Vice President Harris earned this nomination through her grit, her politics, through every bit of hard work.

We study an emerging and intriguing problem of multimodal temporal event forecasting with large language models. Compared to using text or graph modalities, the investigation of utilizing images for temporal event forecasting has not been fully explored, especially in the era of large language models (LLMs). To bridge this gap, we are particularly interested in two key questions of: 1) why images will help in temporal event forecasting, and 2) how to integrate images into the LLM-based forecasting framework. To answer these research questions, we propose to identify two essential functions that images play in the scenario of temporal event forecasting, i.e., highlighting and complementary. Then, we develop a novel framework, named MM-Forecast. It employs an Image Function Identification module to recognize these functions as verbal descriptions using multimodal large language models (MLLMs), and subsequently incorporates these function descriptions into LLM-based forecasting models. To evaluate our approach, we construct a new multimodal dataset, MidEast-TE-mm, by extending an existing event dataset MidEast-TE-mini with images. Empirical studies demonstrate that our MM-Forecast can correctly identify the image functions, and further more, incorporating these verbal function descriptions significantly improves the forecasting performance. The dataset, code, and prompts are available at https://github.com/LuminosityX/MM-Forecast.

The US Senate unanimously passed a bill on Tuesday designed to hold accountable those who make or share deepfake porn. The Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits Act (DEFIANCE Act) would allow victims to sue those who create, share or possess AI-generated sexual images or videos using their likeness. The issue took root in the public consciousness after the infamous Taylor Swift deepfake that circulated among online lowlifes early this year. The bill would let victims sue for up to 150,000 in damages. That number grows to 250,000 if it's related to attempted sexual assault, stalking or harassment.

FOX News contributor Miranda Devine and OutKick founder Clay Travis weigh in on'Fox News @ Night.' Democrat firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., claimed that the New York City Police Department's (NYPD) new robot dog is "being deployed for testing on low-income communities of color with under-resourced schools." On Thursday, Ocasio-Cortez -- a member of the left-wing "Squad" -- blasted the NYPD's new "Digidog" on Twitter two days after the cyber hound was filmed responding to a break-in and barricade situation in the Bronx. "Shout out to everyone who fought against community advocates who demanded these resources go to investments like school counseling instead," the congresswoman wrote on Twitter, linking to a story about the robo-dog. "Now robotic surveillance ground drones are being deployed for testing on low-income communities of color with under-resourced schools," she added. "Please ask yourself: when was the last time you saw next-generation, world class technology for education, healthcare, housing, etc consistently prioritized for underserved communities like this?" she added in a second tweet.

In some stores, sophisticated systems are tracking customers in almost every imaginable way, from recognizing their faces to gauging their age, their mood, and virtually gussying them up with makeup. The systems rarely ask for people's permission, and for the most part they don't have to. In our season 1 finale, we look at the explosion of AI and face recognition technologies in retail spaces, and what it means for the future of shopping. This episode was reported and produced by Jennifer Strong, Anthony Green, Tate Ryan-Mosley, Emma Cillekens and Karen Hao. Strong: Retailers have been using face recognition and AI tracking technologies for years. And what if you could know about the presence of violent criminals before they act? With Face First you can stop crime before it starts.] It detects faces, voices, objects and claims it can analyze behavior. But face recognition systems have a well-documented history of misidentifying women and people of color. And they're trying to sell it and impose it on the entirety of the country?] Strong: This is Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at a 2019 congressional hearing on facial recognition.
