Polling on data centers shows that a bipartisan consensus, opposes data centers in their communities.Meanwhile, Democrats ask for moratoriums & for data centers to pay for their own electricity.

Shane Gillis: “[Trump’s] selling faster access to his tweets and then you can bet on the markets. It’s literally insider trading”Joe Rogan: “Wait a minute, is that real? How is that legal? Who’s telling him this is a good idea? $100K to get early tweets? That’s literally crazy. He’s just on a grab”

The United States and Israel are planning what would be one of the harshest bombing campaigns to date against energy infrastructure targets in Iran, multiple sources told CBS News, with strikes possible throughout the weekend.
A joint operation would mark Israel's return to combat operations which it had halted during the U.S.-brokered truce. Iran has not hit Israel since the memorandum of understanding fell apart and the U.S. restarted combat operations in early July.
The military strike plan came up during President Trump's cabinet meeting at Camp David on Friday, according to sources briefed later.
Some White House aides who focus on politics were strongly opposed, one of the sources said.
Controversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have been arrested in the US after British authorities issued 38 new charges against the pair.
The UK's Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said Andrew was being charged with seven further counts of rape, as well as charges relating to sex trafficking and indecent images of a child.
Tristan's charges include two counts of rape and three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation. The total number of charges against the brothers is now 59, police said.
I also break down my thoughts on Tate sitting in solitary confinement & whether or not we should have an issue with that.

A growing list of House Democrats and liberal grassroots groups is calling for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to step down from leadership after failing to stop a group of his senators from voting to reopen the government.
"Sen. Schumer has failed to meet this moment and is out of touch with the American people," progressive Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) said in a post on X.
Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) told Axios that Schumer "should not" remain as leader.Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D-Texas) said in a statement to Axios: "If I were a senator, I would be asking Senator Schumer to step down as minority leader. He's simply cannot meet this moment."
