x/alexandria-ocasio-cortez
— 13h
Rep. 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.

California lawmakers adjourned without passing a major overhaul of wildfire liability, even as Gov.
