The FBI identified 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania as the suspect in Saturday's attempted assassination of former U.S. President Donald Trump at a campaign rally.

The suspect was shot and killed by the Secret Service seconds after he allegedly fired shots toward a stage where Trump was speaking in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The FBI said it was working to determine a motive for the attack, in which one rally attendee died and two other spectators were critically injured. Trump was shot in the ear.

President Joe Biden condemned political violence as “sick” during an impromptu address to the nation after former President Donald Trump survived a shooting during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

From a police station in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where Biden was spending the weekend, the president told the public he had tried to reach his Republican opponent by telephone, but so far the pair had not connected. The White House later confirmed that the two men had spoken.

While law-enforcement officials haven't given details on the shooting suspect's identity or a motive—and former President Donald Trump has said so as well—some Republicans are already making unsubstantiated claims that President Biden is responsible for the incident at the Butler, Pa., rally.

Reactions from government leaders poured in shortly after a shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Butler, Pa., Saturday evening. As Democrats and Republicans alike denounced the violence, some of Trump’s supporters shared images of the former president raising his fist after the shooting and cast him as a resilient fighter.

“There is no place in America for this kind of violence,” President Biden said in remarks from the Rehoboth Beach, Del., police department. “It’s sick. … It cannot be like this. We cannot condone this.”

It was a low point in American politics—at least that seemed the view of both liberals and conservatives at an unusual debate watch party in Kenosha, WI.

The group of several hundred viewers had gathered on the campus of Carthage College at a convention of the organization Braver Angels. They were unsparing in their assessment of the performance of both candidates. "We want better and we deserve better," was the message I heard from both Democrats and Republicans once the debate concluded.

The latest national poll from The New York Times and Siena College shows former President Donald J. Trump leading President Biden by nine percentage points among registered voters — a pretty big shift in his direction in the week since the presidential debate.

It has become clear in the past week that there is no obvious path to replacing Mr. Biden as the Democratic Party’s nominee. But there is a strong desire among Americans for something different.

Amid the rise in populism, extremism, and polarization around the world, centrism is frequently dismissed by its critics as too poorly defined, too short on passion, too weak to serve as an effective response. But this misunderstands both political centrism and the dangerous trends it seeks to counter. In fact, centrism offers the most potent antidote to the excesses of populism.

A bipartisan proposal in the Senate would create standards for government procurement of artificial intelligence in part by classifying systems according to risk.

The bill sponsored by Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., and co-sponsored by Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., is among the first to emerge after several summits on Capitol Hill on how to handle AI. It would require each federal agency to create the position of a chief AI officer and grade systems on a scale from unacceptable to low risk.
