Vance argued that the answer is not to halt data center construction but to build more power alongside it. He said Trump had insisted on “ratepayer protection” and that “if you’re going to build a data center, you have to feed power back into the grid as opposed to taking power out.”

Energy Secretary Chris Wright added that the policy would allow the U.S. to expand AI development while protecting consumers from higher electricity costs. “This allows America to maintain our lead in artificial intelligence by driving rapid investment in our country, rapid investment in new power infrastructure,” he said.

he United States conducted its first offensive operation in Iran in almost a month on Sunday by striking multiple sites where the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had stored rocket launchers, according to reports.

A U.S. official who spoke with multiple news outlets said the strikes occurred on Larak Island, which sits in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway that is responsible for about 20% of the global energy trade. The official told CNN that “U.S. forces are monitoring the area closely and remain prepared to protect the free flow of commerce through this essential waterway.”

The new round of strikes marks the first time in a month that the U.S. has conducted strikes against Iran. It happened at a time when peace negotiations between the U.S. and Iranian officials have almost completely broken down, according to reports.

CNN reported that the IRGC claimed the attack led to the deaths of “a number of our fighters and fellow countrymen.”

Some people with high-powered jobs may be familiar with long work hours, which is never conducive to a good night’s rest. President Donald Trump, 80, is among those who have admitted he doesn’t get the recommended seven to nine hours of shut-eye every night, and while his physician didn’t seem concerned about his minimal sleep, other doctors have warned about the impact his sleep could have on his long-term health.

“I’m working long hours, right up until 12 o’clock, 1 a.m.,” he told Fox News back in 2017, before admitting he wakes up at 5 am, allowing himself as little as four hours of sleep. Meanwhile, Trump’s physician, Ronny Jackson, previously confirmed: “I would say he sleeps four to five hours a night. He’s probably been like that his whole life. He’s just one of those people who just does not require a lot of sleep.”

Sleep is a time of rest and repair for the body, allowing the brain to consolidate memory and improve problem-solving skills, and the body to repair tissues and restore energy. But with limited time, more people are turning to sleep hacking. The question remains: is Donald Trump a sleep hacker who could suffer from “accelerated aging” and “increased risk of cardiovascular disease,” or one of the rare few people who are “natural short sleepers?”

The U.S. once explored a weapon known as Rods from God: giant tungsten rods dropped from orbit at around Mach 10. In theory, one rod could hit with the energy of a major conventional bomb, punch through buried targets, and strike almost anywhere on Earth. But the idea ran into brutal problems, from aiming a hypersonic object to needing hundreds of satellites for fast response. A limited missile-defense version was estimated at roughly $300 billion, making one of the military’s wildest concepts almost impossible to justify.

Well, that was quick.

On Thursday evening, federal district Judge Indira Talwani issued a new order that temporarily blocks an effort by the Trump administration that appears designed to sabotage voting by mail in the upcoming midterm election. Talwani previously blocked an executive order that President Donald Trump issued in March, which ordered the US Postal Service (USPS) to impose a byzantine array of new regulations on voting by mail, but the Supreme Court reinstated the order on Monday.

Talwani’s new order sets up a new legal fight that is almost certain to return to the justices, and it is unclear whether this Court, with its 6-3 Republican majority, will allow Trump to make sweeping and unilateral changes to how the United States conducts its elections so close to an actual Election Day.

The Marine Corps F-35B is a fifth-generation supersonic stealth fighter with a capability almost no fighter in history has possessed – it can hover and land vertically. The aircraft weighs around 33,500 pounds, yet its lift-fan system can bring the entire jet into a dead hover before lowering it straight toward the ground.
