AOC proposes Mar-a-Lago data center after Trump calls critics 'backwards' — 9hRep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested placing an AI data center at Mar-a-Lago in response to President Trump's claim that communities opposing data centers are 'backwards and poor,' illustrating the sharp political divide over AI infrastructure. While Trump promotes data centers as drivers of growth, local residents and some Republicans express concern about costs and siting, and Palm Beach County has recently rejected another proposal.

Chris Dalton If Mar-a-Lago's such a great spot for growth and jobs, Trump should have no problem putting his money where his mouth is.

Mélenchon Plans Central Bank Debt Cancellation, Critics Warn — 6dFrench far-left candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon has revived a proposal to cancel 18% of the public debt held by the Bank of France to free fiscal space, a plan that has drawn cautious support from some allies but fierce legal and economic criticism from opponents.

Great Westerns Named Among All-Time BestEntertainment — Aug 24, 2026A set of recent lists and critical appreciations have highlighted classic Westerns — from Johnny Guitar’s enduring critical acclaim and top ranking status to The Searchers’ debated antihero complexities, Destry Rides Again’s vintage influence, Rio Bravo’s enduring fan reception, and Vera Cruz as a bold, genre-shaping precursor to Spaghetti Westerns — underscoring their lasting influence and provocative takes on heroism and violence. Critics and filmmakers, including Scorsese and AFI, repeatedly emphasize how these films helped redefine the Western and endure as touchstones of the genre.

Trump's beef tariff pause followed meeting with JBS co-owner, reports say — 1dPresident Trump announced a 90-day waiver allowing up to 300,000 metric tons of ground beef to enter tariff-free, a move critics say could disrupt cattle markets and hinder U.S. herd rebuilding even as the administration frames it as consumer relief. Reports show JBS co-owner Joesley Batista met with Trump shortly before the decision to discuss lowering Brazil’s tariffs, raising questions about policy influence and Brazil’s likely gain from the planned quota while the plan promises beef sold 25% below current prices.

Rachel Meyers Cheaper ground beef sounds nice until you realize it's propped up by a deal that seems to benefit one company's bottom line more than shoppers.
