A scan of a single-page typed document with black serif text on a white background, titled "White House Accord on Super Intelligence" with the subtitle "Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities". It is a plain text statement with no logos, signatures, or letterhead visible. It says companies training frontier AI models should adopt four layers of controls and audits: internal controls, an internal team, an independent external auditor, and an independent board committee. It closes by saying the steps may be codified into laws or regulations.

Text in image: White House Accord on Super Intelligence Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities In order to build a positive future for the American people and the world, we believe every company is responsible for developing its own technology safely and in a way that builds trust with customers and the public. This starts with every company that is training and deploying frontier models having robust internal processes and controls to ensure that their technology behaves as intended and that any issues are promptly identified and resolved. Therefore, in addition to any other precautions, we believe each company should implement the following four layers of controls and audits: (1) Implement robust internal controls to monitor the capabilities and alignment of its models during training and deployment around areas like cybersecurity, biosecurity, and chemical threats, and to ensure that its models do not hack or access technical systems in unintended ways. (2) Empower an internal team to ensure all of the controls, monitoring, and detection are operating as intended, and that any issues are remediated. (3) Partner with an independent external auditor or evaluator to carry out independent assessments of whether the controls, monitoring, and detection are operating as intended. (4) Designate an independent committee of the board of directors to oversee and receive reports from the teams operating the controls and the internal and external auditors and evaluators, as well as to ensure any issues identified are remediated. Together, these steps will give each company, its customers, and the public confidence that the technology is operating as intended. The participating companies will meet regularly to establish standards and best practices to improve the safety of their systems. Over time, it may make sense to codify these steps into laws or regulations. Regardless of whether this is required of companies, we believe that implementing these controls and audits is critical to ensuring a safe future for everyone, and each of our companies are committed to doing this.

A white page of handwritten signatures above printed name labels, like the signature page of a document. On the left is a large, bold black ink signature above the label "Donald J. Trump / President of the Unites States". On the right, six thinner pen signatures are stacked vertically, each on a line with a name and company label beneath it: Sundar Pichai (Google), Dario Amodei (Anthropic), Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Greg Brockman (OpenAI), Elon Musk (XAI), Jensen Huang (Nvidia). The signatures are stylized scrawls, and only Brockman's is legible ("gdb"). No other text or document body is visible.

A seating chart for a "Super Intelligence Luncheon" dated Tuesday, September 29, 2026, East Room. It shows a long brown rounded-rectangle table, drawn vertically inside a black-outlined room, with chair icons on both sides and a name label beside each chair. Short black tick marks along the left wall mark spots on the room edge. The POTUS chair, at the middle of the right side, is highlighted with a blue square. The left side has 18 seats and the right side has 19.

And, in other news, a Fox News poll conducted in September 2026 shows that 4% of registered voters identify Iran/war as the most important issue facing the country. And of course, as with most things in the US, it's being weaponised against Trump. They're using it to demonstrate as evidence that people don't support this action or that Trump got it wrong when he made that decision. It is the complete opposite. So sorry to have to point out the bleeding obvious. This actually helps the Trump administration. Do you want to know why? Can you imagine if Trump had enacted, if he had done what every president prior to him had done, which is to make this the next person's problem, his children's problem? It would be something like 98% of Americans see this war as the top issue. They see Iran as the top threat. But they don't have to. Because Trump acted. He eliminated the threat. They were days away from being able to build a nuclear weapon. They killed tens of thousands of their own people with guns, their own people. And what they could do to a country like America with a nuclear weapon. So this is actually a great poll for Trump and his administration. What this says is, "Hey America, you don't have to have Iran as the top of your list of worries because I dealt with it. I sorted it. I got rid of the threat." If he hadn't have gotten rid of the threat, people in America would be living in fear right now from a nuclear attack. I'm so sorry, this actually speaks volumes. This is the gift. This is the job of a president to take care of this stuff. So everyday Americans don't have to stay awake at night thinking about Iran and what it's going to do with a nuclear weapon. So isn't this wonderful, a wonderful testament to what Trump did? Is the fact that Americans don't have to have the Islamic regime of Iran as the top thing they're worried about right now. That backs up what he did, not the opposite. It's evidence for the action to eliminate the threat, not evidence that it should never have occurred. It's very obvious to me, it should be to you too. As president of the most extraordinary nation in history, I have no interest in leaving dangers to grow for another day. I do not believe in letting problems fester. They only become harder to solve. So while others have talked, I have acted. While others have spoken of peace, I have made peace. While others have ignored threats, I have confronted them.

Okay, MAGA GOP on Trump, in the 2024 election versus Kamala Harris, he got 99% of the MAGA GOP vote. Perhaps surprisingly, I might have thought it'd be 100%, but it was 99%. Compare that to his approval rating now with the MAGA GOP. It's 98%. That is, there's been no real decline in MAGA support. These folks say that they're going to vote for congressional Republicans come the midterm elections. Again, that's the 99% that Trump got against Kamala Harris. Look now, in terms of the congressional vote, 98% of them say they're going to be voting for House Republican candidates. So that support is actually really holding up strong. It's really, really strong when it comes to MAGA GOP and Republicans holding on to that vote.
