Trump Says AI Data Centers Pledge Will Make Power Bills ‘Actually Come Down’

President Donald Trump promised his data center pledge would lower Americans’ electricity bills.

Trump expanded his voluntary, nonbinding Ratepayer Protection Pledge on Thursday, the Associated Press reported. Signed by 23 governors, 55 utility companies and 27 data center companies, the pledge asks tech companies to cover their own power costs, according to the White House’s official Ratepayer Pledge page.

“Electricity bills for American families will actually come down,” Trump said, according to the AP. “They’re going to have a lot of electricity left over, and they’ll put that into the grid.”

Energy trends complicate that claim. “Residential electricity rates could rise 15% to 40% over the next five years,” the ICF, an energy consulting firm, said in a May 2025 analysis of select U.S. utilities.

“President Trump expanded his Ratepayer Protection Pledge to governors, legislators, developers, and power providers to ensure everyone involved in building and powering data centers covers their own costs instead of passing them on to American families,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Trump Prepares to Attack Eighth Country of His Second Term

Weeks after a preliminary peace deal with Iran fell apart, Donald Trump has turned his attention toward his next military conquest.

The Trump administration is reportedly considering taking military action against an Al Qaeda-affiliated group in Mali known as JNIM, according to several current and former U.S. officials that spoke with The Washington Post Wednesday.

Doing so would add to the president’s warmongering tally, marking the eighth nation he has ordered strikes on since he began his second term as president.

The other affected countries are Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, and Venezuela. Trump has also ordered 66 strikes against small watercraft in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific in an admittedly futile attempt to interrupt drug smuggling into the U.S., killing at least 221 people in the process.

One of the administration’s top proponents for using brute force in Mali is Sebastian Gorka, the National Security Council’s senior director for counterterrorism. The London-born Hungarian has been a fixture in Trump’s inner circle since 2017, though his appointment to Trump’s first administration came as a surprise to many in his field. Gorka had previously been known for his extremist, Islamophobic views, which relegated him to the fringes of Washington and his position as an editor at Breitbart.

US Beefs up Military Might in Middle East as Trump says He’s Weighing ‘Massive Attack’ on Iran

President Trump said he is weighing a “massive attack” on Iran — as the Pentagon floods the Middle East with elite troops, fighter jets and combat medics, vowing to avenge the deaths of four US troops in less than a week.

“I am considering a massive attack. Bigger than anything we have ever had before. I am close to making a decision. We are fully prepared for it,” the president told Israel’s Channel 12 on Thursday.

He added that the Jewish state would join the US in the operation “in two minutes” if he asked, but clarified that “we don’t need anybody” to launch the potential escalation.

“Relations with [Israeli Prime Minister] Bibi [Netanyahu] are very good,” he said. “I will meet with him if he is in town [for Sen. Lindsey Graham’s funeral next week.]”

His remarks come as the US military has surged special operations forces into the Middle East and repositioned fighter squadrons across the region, according to flight tracking data, after four US troops were killed over the past week.

‘I’m in’: Lindsey Graham’s Sister will Seek Full Senate Term at Trump’s Urging

U.S. Sen. Darline Graham Nordone, R-S.C., is responding to President Donald Trump’s encouragement by announcing she will run for the full term for her Senate seat previously held by her late brother Sen. Lindsey Graham.

“I’ve made a decision,” Darline told Sean Hannity of Fox News. “I’m in.”

“I have been praying a lot, talking to my family,” she said. “I feel like I can do it. I feel an inner peace about it. Will it be difficult? Yes. Absolutely.”

Last Friday, Trump publicly urged Darline to run, and she told Hannity the presidential request was “a tremendous amount of pressure.”

“We have known each other for a long time,” Trump said of Nordone, who was sworn in last week on a temporary, fill-in basis.

Convicted Killer Suing Trump Demands $75M, Apology, and US Citizenship

An illegal immigrant serving a lengthy prison sentence for the murder of a Michigan woman is suing President Donald Trump, alleging he faced humiliation when his case was used as a political talking point, and is demanding $75 million, a public apology, and U.S. citizenship.

Brandon Ortiz-Vite, 27, who was previously deported from the United States, is serving a sentence of 39 to 102 years in prison for killing Ruby Garcia in March 2024.

Garcia’s body had several gunshot wounds and was found dumped along a road in Grand Rapids. The pair were in a romantic relationship and were engaged in an argument at the time of the slaying.

In a handwritten complaint filed in federal court, Ortiz-Vite named Trump and White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Steven Cheung as defendants. . .

Ortiz-Vite’s case garnered national attention and was highlighted when Trump, who made combating illegal immigration a large part of his campaign, visited Grand Rapids in 2024. During his remarks, Trump labeled Ortiz-Vite as “America’s problem.” (Read more from “Convicted Killer Suing Trump Demands $75M, Apology, and US Citizenship” HERE)

Enraged Trump warns Iran Each US Soldier Killed Will be Avenged ‘Many Times Over!’

President Trump threatened to attack Iran “many times” over for each American soldier killed as fighting escalates — even as a Qatar-proposed 10-day cease-fire is under consideration.

At least 17 American soldiers have been killed thus far in the war. Three Americans were killed since Friday with a fourth missing and presumed dead — in the first fatalities from enemy fire since March.

“Every time Iran kills an American Soldier they will pay for that killing many times over!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“This directive has been passed on to Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Daniel Caine, and every Leader in the Military.”

The US has bombed Iran for nine consecutive nights following the collapse of last month’s memorandum of understanding that called for a 60-day reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and continued nuclear talks.

Trump ousts Teleprompter Operator Gambling on His Own Words… only After He Amassed Staggering Six-Figure Sum

President Donald Trump’s longtime teleprompter operator has been sidelined from his White House role after federal investigators discovered he was using the President’s speeches to rake in as much as $100,000 in winnings.

The breach was confirmed in a press briefing today by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who returned to the podium for the very first time since her maternity leave.

Facing a barrage of questions from a packed press room, Leavitt did not mince words about the President’s personal reaction to the betrayal, declaring that the President believes the situation is ‘painfully unfortunate and, frankly, a disgrace.’

The scandal centers on Gabriel Perez, a key technical assistant who has managed Trump’s teleprompter scripts since his first presidential campaign in 2016.

Perez allegedly exploited his early access to upcoming speech drafts to place highly lucrative wagers on Kalshi’s ‘Mentions’ market, according to federal watchdogs at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Trump Hyped 20 Companies Days After Buying Stock as Democrats Cry ‘Textbook Corruption’

Donald Trump repeatedly touted companies or their products days after he purchased large amounts of their stocks, according to a new analysis.

The President has broken with past leaders and opted against putting his assets into a blind trust, meaning he can see what stocks are being traded on behalf of his money managers.

The structure disallows Trump or his family from directing trades, but it does give the Republican visibility into what he owns.

And according to a CNN analysis, the President has promoted over 20 companies on Truth Social just days after purchasing their shares.

At times his promotions came paired with announcements that the government would be taking action on issues that could benefit the firms, the analysis states. (Read more from “Trump Hyped 20 Companies Days After Buying Stock as Democrats Cry ‘Textbook Corruption’” HERE)

Widow of Man Killed in Butler Trump Assassination Attempt Claims it Was an ‘Inside Job’

The widow of a former fire chief who was killed during the 2024 failed assassination attempt on then-Republican candidate for president Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, believes there is a massive conspiracy theory behind the incident.

Helen Comperatore, the widow of former fire chief Corey Comperatore, was recently interviewed by NewsNation, where she shared her thoughts on the incident that accidentally took the life of her husband.

“I believe it was an inside job, inside the government somewhere,” she said. When interviewer Rich McHugh asked her if she believed it was a “political” plot, she replied, “Oh yeah, absolutely.”

She was then asked whether she had seen any evidence that pointed to a larger conspiracy theory that led to the death of her husband, though she did not provide a concrete answer.

“Oh, I’ve been told things,” she said. “But I have something that happened with me that just afterwards and you’re starting to put the pieces together, it just made total sense.” (Read more from “Widow of Man Killed in Butler Trump Assassination Attempt Claims it Was an ‘Inside Job’” HERE)

Iran Puts Trump in a Coffin on Huge Billboard in Tehran

The Iranian regime on Wednesday unveiled a massive billboard in Tehran, curved around the side of a building, that depicts President Donald Trump lying dead in a coffin.

Trump’s image on the billboard is disheveled and bloated, with straight, rigid legs and feet pointing straight up, suggesting rigor mortis has set in.

The billboard is also scrawled with graffiti-style messages, mostly written in Farsi, although “We Kill Trump” is clearly visible in English. The “blackboard” area of the billboard appears to be a homage to the billboard upon which farewell messages to the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei were scrawled during his funeral last week.

Another message on the billboard said “In memory of Minab’s children,” a reference to the Iranian city where a U.S. airstrike on February 28 is believed to have struck an elementary school.

These death threats loom over Islamic Revolution Square, also known as Enqelab Square, which is one of the busiest intersections in the capital city of Tehran. The regime often uses the square to stage rallies and demonstrations, recently including the early stages of the week-long funeral for Khamenei.
