Trump says people in communities where data centers are built will be paid a "dividend" (just like his $5,000 "Trump dividend"!)

An NFL official reportedly threatened to remove Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair from his game earlier this month unless he removed his memorial for an 8-year-old Palestinian girl killed by Israel in Gaza.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has dismissed popular concerns among the American public over Big Tech’s hastened buildout of AI data centers as nothing more than propaganda pushed by the Chinese government.
