Out-of-this-world fix for data center backlash could be on NASA's horizon
https://ift.tt/OzR8cr6

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman is backing a once-futuristic answer to America’s fight over AI data centers: Move them into Earth's orbit. Isaacman said Wednesday that solar-powered facilities in space could tap the sun’s energy without competing for the land, water and grid capacity required by sprawling data centers proposed across the country. "Let’s take our data centers, put them in Earth orbit, take advantage of that free fusion reactor that’s out there for us and use that to ensure we do win the space race for sure, but the AI race, too," Isaacman said in an interview with Nexstar DC. Isaacman’s idea comes as voters push back on the data center boom. A Fox News poll this summer found 70% of voters oppose building AI data centers in their own area, while 79% said construction should slow to address environmental and community concerns rather than move as quickly as possible to maintain a competitive edge over China.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe flew to Moscow to meet with Russian intelligence officials, the Kremlin reportedly said Wednesday, after video emerged of a U.S. military transport plane coming in for a landing Tuesday at Vnukovo airport. President Donald Trump , when asked this morning about Ratcliffe’s visit on "The Glenn Beck Program," said, "He’s there on, you know, very sort of semi-routine." "We would like to see the war with Ukraine end," Trump added, before saying, "Now something may come out of it. "We're working very hard to get that war ended and frankly they both want to see it ended at this point."

Antisemitic streamer finally makes Dem leader snap with rare rebuke: ‘Malicious’
https://ift.tt/k0NGYAh

House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York is slamming comments from Hasan Piker after the far-left controversial online streamer suggested that Jewish Americans were inviting violence against themselves over their support for Israel. "The malicious claim that American Jews are inviting violence against themselves is dangerous and antisemitic," Jeffries charged in a social media post. And he added in a CNN interview on Tuesday that Piker's comments were "malicious" and "should not be tolerated by anyone in the public square." While Jeffries became the highest-ranking congressional Democrat to fire back at Piker, the criticism from the top Democrat in the U.S. House comes after he has largely stayed silent on the far-left insurgency, backed in part by Piker, that's gripped his party this election cycle. Jeffries spoke out after Piker, on his stream last week, featured an image of state Sen. Jeremy Moss, the Democratic nominee in Michig...

FIRST ON FOX: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) quietly arrested more than 1,000 illegal immigrants in the Washington, D.C., region in what federal sources said was one of the agency’s most successful operations to date. Multiple ICE sources told Fox News that the agency arrested 1,328 illegal immigrants over 14 days in the Washington, D.C. , suburbs. The arrests took place in Virginia and Maryland, both of which have sanctuary-type policies in place. Of those arrested, almost 400 illegal immigrants had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, including a Salvadoran national wanted in Richmond, Virginia, on a murder warrant. Other crimes included rape, sexual assault, kidnapping, DUI, robbery and attempted murder.
