Summary
Trump heads to the EPA to expand his Ratepayer Protection Pledge, the plan that has tech giants footing the bill for the data centers powering the AI race instead of everyday electricity customers. Expect a parade of governors and utility CEOs getting shoutouts for freezing rates, eliminating property taxes, and handing out surprise bonuses to school teachers, all while Trump makes the case that America is leaving China in the dust on AI, chips, and energy production. There's a victory lap on the Intel stock deal, a pointed jab at windmills and the "Green New Scam," and a candid Iran war update covering their sunken navy and grounded air force. Things wrap with a teaser about the world champion Dodgers waiting in the wings for a White House celebration, because apparently even a policy speech about power grids needs a baseball cameo. Energetic, a little chaotic, and very on brand.
