Failed 2024 candidate Kamala Harris predicts Obama-like end for Trump on Iran negotiations
Mike Sarraille: Trump’s Iran deal uses economic handcuffs, not a payoff
Retired Navy SEAL Mike Sarraille discusses President Donald Trump’s performance-based Iran peace deal. He explains the $300 billion private sector funding serves as economic handcuffs, providing leverage for the next 60 days of negotiation. Sarraille highlights that U.S. military pressure and troop presence in the region will ensure Iran’s compliance with the agreement terms.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris took an apparent shot at the Trump administration’s Iran deal, saying it could hurt Republicans in the midterm elections during a public appearance at a climate summit in Vienna on Tuesday.
«This is a war the American people did not want. This is a War of Choice. This is a president who has proven himself to be entirely self-indulgent. And we will see what happens in the coming hours and days in terms of the negotiation. And really, it’s a concept of an agreement,» said Harris at the Austrian World Summit hosted by the Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative.
While Trump’s memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran has not been released, comparisons to former President Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal have reemerged. According to administration officials, the agreement would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and require Iran to halt nuclear weapons development and support for terrorism.

Harris has seized the moment to reignite a political fight over which approach did more to curb Iran’s ambitions.
«Whatever is being negotiated, this president is going to declare victory, and we’ll end up where we were after the JCPOA and call that a victory, the JPOA that he withdrew from,» said Harris.
Republicans are entering the November midterm elections amid concerns that many Americans continue to feel the strain of elevated gas and grocery prices. Trump administration officials have repeatedly emphasized that, under the MOU, consumers are expected to see relief at the gas pump beginning this summer.

«There is a direct correlation between this war of choice and what has happened in terms of gas prices. It is estimated the average American has spent, since the war started, $500 more because of this war,» Harris said.
«I have no question or doubt that we will win the midterms, and it will be a result of people of every background and political association who will contribute to that outcome,» she added.
Oil prices fell on Monday to their lowest levels since early March after a preliminary U.S.-Iran agreement raised hopes that traffic through the Strait could soon return to normal.

The agreement, soon to be released, would test whether Iran is willing to trade decades of isolation for economic relief and renewed ties with the West.

The deal hinges on whether Iran can demonstrate during a 60-day negotiating period that it has abandoned its nuclear ambitions and support for terrorist organizations.

New poll shows Americans’ growing concerns about AI expansion efforts
‘CyberGuy’ Kurt Knutsson addresses public concerns about AI data centers, noting a Fox News poll showing 70% opposition. Knutsson highlights that modern data centers are clean, with minimal impact on local water and electricity. He emphasizes that transparent communication is crucial for communities to understand these facilities’ benefits and for the U.S. to maintain AI leadership against competitors.

America’s biggest obstacle in the technology race with China may not be Beijing, but growing resistance to new data centers and the power needed to run them, according to Palantir’s chief technology officer.
«The proximate issues are definitely going to be power and backlash against data centers,» Shyam Sankar said in an interview with Fox News Digital at Palantir’s American Builder Summit.
Sankar, whose company builds software for the Pentagon, intelligence agencies and major manufacturers, argued the U.S. risks slowing its own technological progress more than falling behind Beijing.
«The only threat to AI generating prosperity for America is suicide, not homicide.»
LEADING ECONOMIST WARNS OF RISE OF ‘GEN Z AFFORDABILITY SOCIALISM’
The U.S. and China are pouring billions into the race to dominate artificial intelligence, viewing the technology as central to economic growth, military power and geopolitical influence. Winning that race depends on an enormous buildout of data centers, power generation and transmission infrastructure to support increasingly capable systems.
But those projects have drawn growing resistance from communities worried about electricity demand, water use and whether the benefits will outweigh the costs.

Companies have raced to build new data centers to support a wave of new computing infrastructure, fueling a nationwide expansion that also has sparked growing local opposition. The issue has spilled into the 2026 midterm campaigns, with candidates in battleground states such as Pennsylvania running ads focused on the economic and environmental effects of the projects.
Residents have raised concerns about electricity demand, water consumption, noise, traffic and whether utility customers will ultimately bear the cost of expanding the power grid. Some projects have been delayed or canceled, while lawmakers in several states have proposed restrictions or moratoriums on new facilities.
THE WAR ON DATA CENTERS JEOPARDIZES OUR ECONOMY AND NATIONAL SECURITY
Some developers have responded by pairing new data centers with dedicated power generation rather than relying entirely on the electric grid.
Sankar argues those debates risk slowing the industrial gains the technology can already deliver. He pointed to one submarine-parts manufacturer that cut production planning from two weeks to less than an hour, freeing enough capacity to add a third shift.
«There is no one on that shift who thinks, ‘Hey, I got my job because of AI,’ but that’s actually what happened,» he said.

The summit itself appeared designed to counter one of the AI industry’s biggest public relations challenges: fears that technology will replace jobs. Rather than showcasing increasingly capable AI models, Palantir filled the stage with factory workers, healthcare workers and military personnel demonstrating software they had built to solve problems in their own workplaces.
Sankar argued the AI industry has become overly focused on pursuing artificial general intelligence, or AGI, rather than deploying today’s AI systems across the economy.
Artificial general intelligence, or AGI, refers to a still-theoretical system capable of performing a broad range of intellectual tasks at or beyond human level, rather than excelling mainly at narrower tasks such as writing, coding or image analysis.
He compared the current moment to the early days of electricity, arguing that while technology already exists, businesses have yet to reorganize themselves around it.
«The AI we have is powerful enough that it should have created more prosperity and value,» he said. «The only reason it hasn’t yet is not a failing of the technology, it’s a lack of our national will to push and invest in diffusing the technology through our economy.»
«We shouldn’t lose the plot in pining away for a machine god,» he added.
The summit brought together a cohort of Palantir’s American Tech Fellowship, where workers from industries including manufacturing, healthcare and defense demonstrated AI applications they had built for use in their jobs.
The demonstrations were intended to illustrate Sankar’s contention: that AI will make workers more productive than ever rather than replace them.
That runs against much of the public sentiment, where workers across industries have begun to wonder how long until their jobs will be done by a machine.
FOX NEWS POLL: MOVE OVER BIG BROTHER, VOTERS SEE BIG TECH AS GREATER THREAT TO US
«How many people have actually, at the front line, have experienced AI and how it’s changed their job versus how many people are imbibing the fear-mongering from the social media feed, which is partially a Chinese psyop as well.»

Plataformas digitales de reparto a domicilio: alternativas y desafíos laborales en Guatemala
El trabajo a través de plataformas digitales se ha consolidado en Guatemala como una opción relevante para generar ingresos, especialmente para jóvenes y personas que encuentran barreras para acceder al empleo formal. Servicios como transporte, reparto, hospedaje, trabajo freelance y comercio electrónico han crecido en los últimos años, posicionándose como alternativas para quienes necesitan fuentes de ingreso flexibles y accesibles.
Según el Observatorio Centroamericano de Violencia Laboral, alrededor de 5.3 millones de personas trabajaban en el sector informal en 2025, lo que representa el 66% de la población económicamente activa. En este contexto, las plataformas digitales representan una vía para incorporarse al mercado laboral, aunque no están exentas de retos.
El boletín difundido por la Organización de Mujeres Salvadoreñas por la Paz (ORMUSA) advierte que estas modalidades de empleo presentan desafíos importantes. Entre ellos se destacan la falta de protección social, la inestabilidad de los ingresos y la precariedad de las condiciones laborales para quienes dependen de las plataformas como fuente principal o complementaria de sustento.
La participación de mujeres en las plataformas digitales continúa siendo menor que la de los hombres, lo que evidencia la persistencia de brechas de género en el acceso y las oportunidades laborales. Esta desigualdad refleja tendencias presentes en otros sectores y subraya la necesidad de políticas públicas que fomenten la equidad y mejoren las condiciones laborales para todos los trabajadores de la economía digital.
El análisis de ORMUSA y organizaciones aliadas enfatiza la urgencia de fortalecer la protección social y la estabilidad laboral en el sector de plataformas digitales, así como de promover la inclusión de las mujeres para avanzar hacia un empleo más justo en Guatemala.
En junio, la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) aprobó en Ginebra un convenio para proteger a los trabajadores de plataformas digitales y equipararlos con el resto de los empleados en derechos como salario mínimo, seguridad social y resguardo frente al despido, una decisión que busca responder a la expansión de un modelo laboral transnacional y que entrará en vigor 12 meses después de que al menos dos Estados miembros lo ratifiquen.
La votación en la 114ª Conferencia Internacional del Trabajo se resolvió con 406 votos a favor, ocho en contra y 36 abstenciones, según informó el Diario de Centro América. El acuerdo fue respaldado por representantes de gobiernos, sindicatos y empleadores en la asamblea anual de la organización.
El texto fue adoptado tras años de debate y alcanza a trabajadores como conductores de aplicaciones internacionales. El objetivo es que sus condiciones no queden por fuera de estándares ya reconocidos para otros asalariados.
Sukti Dasgupta, directora del Departamento de Condiciones de Trabajo e Igualdad de la OIT, explicó que el nuevo instrumento pretende llevar derechos y beneficios a personas que no están en una relación laboral formal y que hasta ahora quedaban en gran medida fuera de marcos concebidos para asalariados. Añadió que el convenio busca una correcta clasificación de la relación laboral en un entorno digital donde muchos trabajadores no tienen contratación formal.
Dasgupta dijo que tras lo escuchado en el plenario parece haber suficiente interés para alcanzar con rapidez las dos ratificaciones necesarias. La funcionaria añadió que, incluso si algunos países no lo ratifican, el convenio servirá como orientación normativa general. En los Estados que sí lo adopten, la Organización Internacional del Trabajo podrá intervenir mediante su mecanismo de supervisión si se presentan denuncias por incumplimientos.
