Trump's FL Neighbors Ban Data Centers

Trump (R) has said every American should want a data center in their town. But his Home County in Florida just voted to Block them.

In a 6-0 vote, Commissioners in Palm Beach County, home to Mar-a-Lago, voted to enact a One-Year Moratorium on the Cconstruction of New “large-scale” Data Centers that use at least 50 megawatts of Power.

The Moratorium, approved on 9/24/2026, came after Palm Beach Residents expressed Concerns shared by Americans around the Country who’ve seen Data Centers move into their communities. Palm Beach already has some Smaller Data Centers. But in 7/2026, it Rejected a Proposal for the 600MW Project Tango, following Warnings about its potential Effects on Local Wetlands and on Families’ Pocketbooks.

“Many communities want the economic benefits that data centers bring, but we all fear the higher power bills, the negative environmental impact, disruptive noise, and the depletion of water resources,” explained One Supporter of the Moratorium at a County Commission Meeting on 9/24/2026.

A Poll conducted last month by Embold Research and Published by Heatmap Pro, found that 75% of Americans now Oppose the Bbuilding of AI Data Centers in their area, including 61% who Registered Strong Opposition. Aversion to Data Centers crosses Party lines, with Majorities of Democrats, Republicans, and independents Viewing them Negatively.

As AI Companies spend Tens-of-Millions Bankrolling Trump and Republican Candidates, Members of the President’s Cabinet, including Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick (R) and Energy Secretary Chris Wright (R), have Scoffed at Americans’ Concerns about the Tremendous Water and Energy use of Data Centers, which have been well Documented as Jacking up Utility Prices.

In a Social Media Post last month, Trump said the only reason Communities would Not want a Data Center nearby, is if they “want to end up being backwards and poor.” Before that, He said that “smart communities” were “begging for them.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt), who has become One of Capitol Hill’s Leading Ccritics of Data Centers and the Artificial Intelligence Mmodels they Power, has said that if Trump truly finds Data Centers so Desirable, He should “lead by example” by having His Friend and Megadonor, Tech Billionaire Elon Musk, build One at Mar-a-Lago.

“Trump says communities that oppose data centers will end up ‘backwards’ and ‘poor,’” Sanders Remarked 9/25/2026 on Social Media. “Yesterday, Mar-a-Lago’s own Palm Beach County passed a year-long ban on these facilities.”

“Maybe,” the Senator said, “Trump’s neighbors know something he doesn’t.” br />

Trump Canceled Congress Funding Power

Trump (R) informed Congressional Leaders (9/25/2026) that He has Unilaterally Canceled almost $1 billion in Federal Funding without Congress’ Consent, employing a Budget Maneuver many Lawmakers consider Illegal.

In a move that will almost certainly set up an ugly Government Funding Bbattle after the Midterms, Trump has again Claimed the Power to Execute a so-called “Pocket Rescission” to nix Money Congress has already Enacted. The Funding the President Declared Canceled is for Immigration Services, Support to Foreign Countries, Education Programs, Health Research efforts, and Assistance for Businesses owned by Minorities.

By Law, the President is Allowed to send Congress a Request to Rescind Federal Funding, then Withhold that Money for 45 days, while Lawmakers consider whether to Approve, Reject, or Ignore it. Trump Administration Officials also Argue they have the Power to Cancel Funding without any Congressional Action by sending Congress a Rescission Request with less than 45 days left in the Fiscal year. The Argument is that the Money is Automatically Canceled on 9/30/2026, because it is Withheld until Funding Lapses at the End of the Fiscal year. Last year Trump used the Maneuver to Cancel $4.9 billion in Fforeign Aid.

The Senate’s Top Republican Appropriator, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, immediately Blasted the Move as illegal, saying in a 9/25/2026 Night that “any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law."

“This move shows that OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law,” Collins added, pledging to Work with other Lawmakers “to address these illegal actions."

Collins and other Appropriators have already been on High Alert in recent days, PressingM multipleAagencies about Funding Officials have yet to Spend ahead of the Expiration date.

Top Republicans have Rejected Democratic Demands to undo Trump’s Cancellation last summer, of Billions of Dollars in Foreign Aid by pushing off the Expiration Date for that Cash. They have also Rebuffed the idea of Preventing Trump from Executing another Pocket Rescission this year by Barring Trump from sending a Clawbacks Request in the Last Quarter of the Fiscal year.

The House’s Top Democratic Appropriator (Rosa DeLauro, CT-3rd District), called Friday for Republicans to join Democrats in “rejecting this attempt to circumvent Congress” and said the Trump Aadministration has “clearly been unlawfully impounding funds all year just to get to this point.”

The Senate's Top Democratic Appropriator (Patty Murray, WA) said White House Budget Director Russ Vought (R) is sending a Message to Congress that "your votes don’t count, and your laws are optional."

"It is now time for my Republican colleagues who said they would never let this happen to stand up and join us to stop this," Murray said in a Statement, "and remind this Administration this is not how this works.”

While the Supreme Court has yet to Rule on whether, Trump has Illegally impounded Funding during His Second Term, the High Court gave the go-ahead last year for the President to Withhold the Majority of the Foreign Aid He Canceled through His First Pocket Rescission.

Russian Incursions and Acts of Sabotage Across Europe

Drone incursions and suspected acts of sabotage across Europe have been linked to Russia, prompting Western officials to warn of increased kinetic activity directed by Moscow. On 9/24/2026, Russian drones crashed in Romania, a NATO member, and neighboring Moldova. as a map by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) shows. Both countries have repeatedly expressed alarm at the war in Ukraine spilling over into Europe.

NATO’s eastern flank members have stepped up their warnings of the threat posed by Russia, citing airspace violations, GPS jamming, and other hybrid threats below the threshold of armed warfare. “It shows that the threat posed by Russia is increasingly affecting Europe as a whole,” Susan Lilleväli, Estonia‘s foreign ministry spokesperson said, “Russia wants us to be afraid—as for the Kremlin, fear is also a weapon.”

Russia has repeatedly rejected European allegations of hybrid attacks. On 9/24/2026, Romania’s authorities said that a Russian Gerbera-type drone entered its airspace for around four minutes and crashed near Solca, Suceava County, south of its border with Ukraine.

Moldova’s police said the same kind of drone crashed in Cernita on 9/24/2026 and posted images of the debris. Ukraine’s Chernivtsi Oblast Military Administration said on Thursday9/24/2026 that four Russian drones had flown over Bukovyna in Western Ukraine and targeted Ukrainian border crossings with Moldova and Romania.

As Russia carried out strikes against Ukraine the same day, the Zosin and Dorohusk crossings at the Polish-Ukrainian border were evacuated as a precaution, Poland said. Meanwhile, a map by ISW shows Russian drone incursions into NATO and Moldovan airspaces. The Washington, DC think tank described how they were “likely part of the Kremlin’s efforts to normalize airspace violations by intensifying their frequency.”

The ISW also said that other recent incidents in Poland and Germany fit the pattern of Russian hybrid attacks although Moscow has not been officially blamed. Polish Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski said on 9/24/2026. a fire at the Starlink satellite communications ground base station in Wola Krobowska the previous day had been caused by sabotage and aimed to disrupt internet services.

Meanwhile, German authorities suspended Berlin-Brandenburg airport on 9/24/2026 night after an unidentified drone was spotted flying in the area. The incidents come amid a spate of warnings from Western officials about the prospect of expanding Russian aggression in Europe on the heels of unexplained arson, attacks on critical infrastructure, cyberattacks, and airspace violations.

A source within the Lithuanian Ministry of National Defense said on Wednesday Moscow may launch Gerbera-type drones from a shipping container in the Mediterranean Sea against Spain, France, and Italy. Spanish newspaper El Mundo reported that the CIA had alerted southern European governments to this possible Russian drone operation targeting Spain, France, and Italy, although the claims were rejected by French President Emmanuel Macron.

However, the Danish Defense Intelligence Service said Moscow will intensify its “hybrid war” in the coming months, as it cited a foiled drone attack on Leipzig/Halle Airport in Germany whose authorities said had been months in the planning. The Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) warned Russia is preparing sabotage on Danish soil against defense companies and said that Russian forces are increasingly acting aggressively towards NATO military units in the Baltic Sea region.

The PET referred to an incident on 9/14/2026 in which a Russian frigate off the coast of Gedser fired flares at a Danish military helicopter.

“A lot of little acts add up and have significant impact towards shaping the psyches of publics worried about a world seemingly descending into mayhem and war,” said Matthew Arnold, program director of the London School of Economics think tank LSE IDEAS’ Democratic Resilience in a New Age of War Program. “The intent is very simple—to cause a pervasive, intensifying sense amongst European publics that insecurity is increasing,” Arnold told Newsweek. “By raising the collective sense of unease and anxiety, Russia’s goal is to encourage public moods intent on hunkering down and focusing on domestic issues first and foremost.”

Finland’s Interior Minister Mari Rantanen unveiled a 120-mile fence near the Nuijamaa border crossing point in the southeast of the country after accusing Moscow of “weaponizing” migrants. Also on NATO’s eastern flank, the ISW released a scenario this week outlining a hypothetical limited operation by Moscow into Estonia’s border town of Narva on the pretext of protecting Russian speakers there.

The think tank, Estonia and its Baltic neighbors do not report any Russian military buildup by the alliance’s border, but Tallinn has repeatedly warned of the threat Moscow poses, and the need to be prepared. “They want every drone or threat to make European societies question whether supporting Ukraine is still the right course or whether they should move away from it,” said Lilleväli, from Estonia’s foreign ministry. “That is precisely where the danger lies.”

“If we allow fear to guide our decisions, Russia will have already achieved part of its objective before a single Russian soldier crosses NATO’s border. Russia wants to paralyze Ukraine’s supporters by instilling fear of escalation That is precisely the mistake we must not make.”

DHS Wrongly Identified on NV Voter Rolls as Non-Citizens

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Wrongly Identified 185 People on Nevada’s Voter Rolls as Non-Citizens, Sstate Officials said this week, Escalating Concerns over the Shoddy Methodology the Government is using to raise Fear about Non-Citizen Voting ahead of the Midterm Elections.

In 7/2026, Trump (R) gave a Speech saying DHS had found a combined 278,000 Non-Citizens on the Rolls in: California, New Jersey, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. Follow up Letters to each of thoseSstates Wakened the Claim, saying there only could be as many as 278,000 Non-Citizens on the Rolls, including up to 15,903 in Nevada.

In August, DHS Officials told Staffers in the Nevada Secretary-of-State’s Ooffice, that they had Reviewed the Numbers and Confirmed only 185 were Non-Citizens. DHS Officials said they still needed to Review more than 14,000 Records.

But on Wednesday, Nevada Election Officials said they had Reviewed the 185 Records DHS sent them and Confirmed they were U.S. Citizens. “As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens. You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise,” Greg Ott, a Deputy Attorney General, wrote to DHS this week. The Message was First Reported by the New York Times and Nevada Independent.

“The list of 185 were simply a subset of individuals that had gone through a rigorous manual review process at that time of the call. The list shared with Nevada last month also included 6,218 individuals with the highest number of matching attributes to an alien in DHS records,” the Spokesperson said.

In His email, Ott lamented DHS had Not been Transparent about the Methodology DHS had used to flag Alleged Non-Citizens nor had it Shared Adequate Information. When Nevada Officials requested DHS provide theFfirst Name, Last Name, Address, and any other Data Point DHS Officials Matched, the Department said they were only going to Provide the Voter ID Number.

In Nevada, a Voter Registration Number can belong to multiple People, He wrote. Each of Nevada’s Counties used to MaintaiI their Own Registration system, but Nevada recently Transitioned to a Single Statewide Voter Registration System and gave Voters New State Voter identification Numbers. “As a result, the same number may appear at different points in time in connection with different voter records,” He Wrote.

“The number also doesn’t tell us whether an individual was born in the United States, naturalized, derived citizenship through a parent, or holds any particular immigration status. Election records commonly reflect the information supplied during registration,” He added. “For example, if someone registered to vote in 1970, the registration record may be incomplete; the name, address, and date of birth may be incomplete, changed, entered differently, or shared by more than one person. A number that matches a voter record thus establishes only that a number exists in, or once existed in, a voter registration system.”

The News Outlet Votebeat also Reported earlier this month, that Election Officials in Pennsylvania, have also Pushed DHS for Information on its Basis for Claiming there were as many as 14,576 Non-Citizens on its Rolls. In an August Letter, Al Schmidt, Pennsylvania’s Top Election Official, said DHS Representatives had Indicated they did Not have “high confidence” in that Numbers.
