Dear readers,
The deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, shot by federal agents in Minneapolis, have accelerated a legislative offensive in Democratic-led states to demand accountability for violations of constitutional rights. But the recent tensions are the latest manifestation of a dispute as old as the nation itself: the resistance of local power against a federal center that periodically tries to govern by imposition.
This week we also look at how the much-anticipated meeting between Donald Trump and Gustavo Petro played out, and what it means for the Colombian leader ahead of presidential elections later this year.
We also spoke with AI expert and Turing Award winner Yoshua Bengio, who discussed the future risks posed by fast-learning systems that have been known to deliberately ignore human instructions.
And speaking of superhuman feats, meet "Super López," an 81-year-old man who started running in his sixties and whose record-setting races have doctors studying him to learn more about the limits of the human body.
We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from EL PAÍS USA Edition.
