By Sadie Whitelocks

A sleepy Midwestern town has become one of the fiercest battlegrounds in America’s growing backlash against AI data centers – and voters are making their anger clear at the ballot box.

In the town of Festus, Missouri, a community of 14,000 people near St. Louis, residents have ousted four city council members who backed plans for a massive AI data center, replacing them with candidates who openly opposed the project.

The political upheaval didn’t stop there.

At a packed City Hall meeting following the election, newly sworn-in officials were greeted with cheers – while the city’s mayor Sam Richards, who still supports the development, was met with boos and jeers from the crowd.

‘You’re next!’ one resident shouted, underscoring how heated the fight has become.

At the center of the dispute is a proposed $6 billion data center spanning roughly 360 acres, designed to support the growing demands of artificial intelligence.

Supporters say the project could transform the local economy – generating an estimated $32 million a year in tax revenue for decades, funding schools, roads, and public services.

But many locals aren’t convinced, and opponents fear the development could strain the electrical grid, push up utility bills and disrupt daily life with years of construction.

Other residents worry about environmental risks, including pollution from backup generators and wastewater systems – concerns shaped by the region’s industrial past.

In a bid to scrap the development, locals have launched a website and a Facebook group titled No Data Center in Festus, which has attracted more than 3,000 members.

The backlash quickly spilled into local politics: In the landslide election, all four incumbents who supported the data center were voted out.

‘It was an annihilation,’ said one local campaigner.

Since then, more than 4,000 residents have signed petitions seeking to recall the mayor and other officials still backing the plan.

Cash for crowds scandal as lobbyist offers “100s of dollars to recruit attendees for JD Vance speech”

Posted on by

US Vice President JD Vance speaks during an event in support of US Representative Zach Nunn, Republican from Iowa, at Ex-Guard Industries, a manufacturing facility in Des Moines, Iowa, May 5, 2026

Vice President JD Vance‘s appearance in a state critical to the 2028 Republican presidential nomination is raising eyebrows due to a lobbyist’s bid to entice attendees.

Victoria Churchill

Ahead of a rally Vance headlined in Des Moines with Iowa Congressman Zach Nunn that took place last Tuesday, a text message was sent by an Iowa ethanol lobbyist recruiting spectators to attend. The messages contained an offer of payment.

The text, obtained and published by Iowa Starting Line read:

‘Gentlemen, Jake Swanson here. I wanted to invite you to join me in seeing Vice President JD Vance this afternoon in Des Moines. I do some work for an ethanol company and so if you’re able to join, I will give you $100, and for anyone that you recruit, an additional $25. No limit on referrals, so if someone recruits a group of 20 to show up, that’s $500.’

Swanson is a lobbyist and a former policy adviser to Iowa’s Republican governor, Kim Reynolds.

In a statement to Iowa Starting Line, Swanson defended the move: ‘I love ethanol and what it does for our state.

‘So I was happy to bring some Iowa State kids to the rally to celebrate all the things Trump-Vance have done for biofuels and I think there’s opportunity for so much more. This is what I like to do in my own personal spare time,’ Swanson noted.

The Daily Mail reached out for comment to the Vice President’s office, which did not respond in time for publication. There is no suggestion that Vance or his team were aware of Swanson’s actions. Swanson was also contacted for additional comment.

Two Companies Collaborate to Remove Space Junk from Orbit in 2027

Two private companies are partnering up to establish a repeatable debris removal service for low Earth orbit.

The U.S. firm Portal Space Systems and Australian startup Paladin Space are working together to establish the commercial Debris Removal as a Service (DRAAS) for removing multiple debris objects during a single mission.

Space debris experts estimate there are nearly 130 million pieces of junk in orbit, ranging from fragments from explosions and satellite deployments up to huge pieces such as abandoned spacecraft and spent rocket stages. That number alarms many people in the space community and has spurred efforts to start cleaning up our orbital neighborhood.

Some companies have already made serious headway on this effort, showing that debris capture is technically feasible. But Portal and Paladin want to go a few steps further.

“This is about making debris removal operational, not experimental,” said Jeff Thornburg, CEO of Portal Space Systems, in a statement. “Satellite data underpins communications, navigation, weather forecasting, and national security. Maintaining that infrastructure requires active debris management.”

The service has already attracted interest, according to Portal, which states that Starlab Space has signed a letter of intent to integrate the service into future space station operations.

Portal aims to send Starburst-1 into orbit in late 2026 on the SpaceX Transporter-18 rideshare mission, which could pave the way for commercial launches in 2027 onwards. The company also raised $50 million in Series A funding in early April to boost development of its maneuverable spacecraft.

US Democrats call for acknowledgement of Israel’s nuclear arsenal

Press TV

In a milestone event, a group of 30 Democrats in the lower House of Congress has demanded an open acknowledgement of Israel’s nuclear arsenal in a letter to the Secretary of State.

For decades, Washington had an ironclad bipartisan conspiracy that refused to confirm the existence of Israel’s estimated 400 nuclear weapons.

It was a testament to the power of the Israeli lobby’s influence and ability to put Israel’s well-being and safety ahead of that of the United States.

And so you have this collusion to speak Israel’s language, and Israel’s language is extremely deceitful, and that deceit extends to hiding that they have nukes, denying genocide, denying human rights, insisting that they should walk to a different standard than the international community, and basically being just dismissive of international law and the laws of humanity.

Member of Public 01

The current US-Israeli war on Iran was launched over decades of not just unverified, but openly disproven claims that Iran was racing to build a nuclear bomb.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has terrorized the region in an effort to spark a major war, which may have made some politicians see the light regarding Israel’s doomsday arsenal.

And we’re on an [sic] edge of a tectonic shift that is toward recognizing our common humanity.

There’s no security for Israelis, there’s no security for Americans, unless we are all secure and we work toward this mutually verifiable, gradual disarmament; all together on the same page.

Steven Sellers, Pro-Palestine Activist

The end of the bipartisan collusion is another stunning example of how quickly Israel has fallen from what was thought to be an unshakable position in Washington in recent years.

They are expected to fall even further from grace.

It’s being referred to as the awakening, and basically (the)  American public is becoming aware.

You have … polling that went from extremely high polling that was pro Israel and really people drinking the Kool-Aid, to a situation where the Gaza genocide has really opened people’s eyes.

They were watching a genocide live-stream 24/7 and that really jolts people into reality.

Member of Public 01

One official in the administration of President Donald Trump is reported as saying that, “There is a low boil of unease about Israel’s nuclear program and what could compel them to use nuclear weapons”.

The letter from the group of Democrats demands to know what nuclear weapons and enrichment capabilities Israel has and its “threshold for use” in the context of the current conflict with Iran.

Iran submits response to latest US request for ending aggression

Posted on by
Reply

Iran’s reply to the US proposal is exclusively focused on initiatives to end the war of aggression.

Press TV

Iran has submitted its official reply to the latest US proposal for reaching a deal that allows a permanent end to the US-Israeli war of aggression against the country.

Iran’s official IRNA news agency said in a Sunday report that the country had submitted its reply to the US proposal to Pakistan, which has mediated efforts aimed at ending the war of aggression.

IRNA said the reply insists that current negotiations between Iran and the US should solely focus on efforts to end the war, and other issues, including disputes surrounding Iran’s nuclear program, should be discussed at later stages of the talks.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry announced earlier this week that the country would submit its final response to the US proposal after carrying out deliberations and thorough examinations.

The US proposal had come in response to a 14-article plan submitted by Iran to allow a complete halt to the US-Israeli war of aggression.

The latest Iranian reply is focused on efforts to end the aggression on all fronts, including Israeli attacks on Lebanon, and to guarantee the security of shipping in the Persian Gulf.

Iran and the US held an intensive day of negotiations on April 11–12 in Islamabad, four days after Pakistan mediated a ceasefire to halt the US-Israeli aggression on Iran that had started in late February.

The talks collapsed over US maximalist demands, Iranian officials said.

A key sticking point in the current negotiations between Iran and the US is the restoration of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway in the Persian Gulf, which has come under Iranian control since the early days of the aggression.

Iran has indicated it is ready to reopen the Strait if the aggression ends permanently and the US lifts its illegal sanctions and blockade on the country.

Authorities in Tehran have said that a first phase of efforts to reach a deal must concentrate on shipping and sanctions, while signaling they are ready to discuss the country’s nuclear program in later stages of the talks with the US.

IMF warns of systemic threat from AI

IMF warns of systemic threat from AI

Artificial intelligence could make cyberattacks a systemic threat to global finance, the International Monetary Fund has warned, saying advanced models can help attackers exploit vulnerabilities faster than institutions can fix them.

In a blog post published on Thursday, the IMF said its latest analysis suggests that “extreme cyber-incident losses could trigger funding strains, raise solvency concerns, and disrupt broader markets.”

According to the organization, the current financial system relies on shared digital infrastructure, including software, cloud services and networks for payments and other data. The fund warned that advanced AI models can sharply reduce the time and cost needed to identify and exploit weaknesses, raising the risk of simultaneous attacks on widely used systems.

The fund cited Anthropic’s recent controlled release of Claude Mythos Preview, which it described as “an advanced AI model with exceptional cyber capabilities.” According to the IMF, Mythos could find and exploit vulnerabilities in every major operating system and web browser, “even when used by non-experts.”

AI-driven cyber risks could destabilize the financial system if they are not managed carefully, the IMF stressed, noting that attacks could spread beyond finance because banks share digital foundations with energy, telecommunications and public services.

“Defenses will inevitably be breached, so resilience must also be a priority,” the IMF warned, calling for cyber stress testing, scenario analysis, board-level oversight, public-private cooperation and stronger international coordination.

The warning comes amid broader concerns over the misuse of AI. A recent UK study found artificial intelligence was being increasingly used by human traffickers to “identify, recruit and control victims at scale.”

The White House is allegedly also considering reviewing new AI models before they are released to avoid political fallout from potential AI-enabled cyberattacks, the New York Times reported earlier this week.

AI chatbots have also increasingly been implicated in facilitating serious and violent crimes. A recent joint investigation by CNN and the Center for Countering Digital Hate found that 8 out of 10 AI chatbots were eager to help researchers simulate the planning of violent attacks, including school shootings, religious bombings, and assassinations, wishing would-be attackers “happy (and safe) shooting!”

Trump’s new Iran negotiator is Israel lobbyist who denounced negotiations with Iran

Posted on by
1

·

Tapped to advise Steve Witkoff on Iran, Nick Stewart previously condemned dealing with any of Iran’s elected leaders. His presence consolidates military conflict as the Trump administration’s only option.

The latest addition to the Trump administration’s Iran negotiation team, Nick Stewart, has declared his absolute opposition to negotiating with the Islamic Republic of Iran. According to Stewart, “it’s important that we disabuse people of that notion” that anyone among Iran’s current leadership could serve as an “honest broker.”

Stewart argued that even the reformist President Masoud Pezeshkian must be treated as an inveterate enemy because he is “a part of the theocratic, tyrannical, authoritarian government of Iran.” He insisted that Pezeshkian “is not a reformer and we shouldn’t buy into that narrative, because what it does is it throws us off our guard.”

Stewart made these comments while chairing a panel for the pro-war Vandenberg Space Force Base.

At the time, Stewart functioned as FDD’s top Capitol Hill lobbyist.

When it was founded in 2001, FDD was named EMET, which is Hebrew for “truth.” The think tank described its mission as working to “enhance Israel’s image in North America and the public’s understanding of issues affecting Israeli-Arab relations.”

In 2017, a top Israeli military-intelligence official cited FDD as a partner in a covert Israeli campaign to spy on Americans involved in Palestine solidarity activism. Under Trump, the outfit has dictated the administration’s Iran policy to the point that the White House plagiarized its justification for attacking Iran from a document posted on FDD’s website.

Stewart was reportedly selected by Jared Kushner to advise Steve Witkoff, a real estate mogul and Trump golf buddy who serves as the ironically titled Special Envoy for Peace Missions. Kushner Witkoff’s demonstrable ignorance of Iranian affairs, reflexive deference to Israel and crude profiteering helped inspire Iran’s rejection of the last round of negotiations.

Three Israeli soldiers and a ‘civilian’ will be indicted on espionage charges after allegedly maintaining long-term contact with Iran-linked operatives and carrying out tasks on their behalf, Israeli media reported on Friday, citing a joint statement by the Israeli military, police, and intelligence services.

The soldiers, who were trainees at an Israeli Air Force technical school, are suspected of photographing military facilities at the direction of their handler, as well as filming public infrastructure and the placement of security cameras, i24NEWS reported.

Israeli occupation authorities said the contact began while the soldiers were still minors, before their conscription into the Israeli army. The suspects, residents of Kiryat Yam and Kiryat Shmona in northern occupied territories, allegedly communicated between January and March 2025 with individuals posing as Iranian agents under the usernames “NOVITAMIN” and “CLARK” on Telegram.

Trump administration ignored intel warnings on Iran

Washington ignored intel warnings on Iran – Trump’s ex-counterterror chief

Washington joined Israel’s war against Iran despite intelligence assessments that the Islamic Republic was not developing nuclear weapons, US President Donald Trump’s former counterterrorism chief, Joe Kent, has said.

Kent, who resigned in protest as head of the US National Counterterrorism Center in March, argues that West Jerusalem dragged Washington into another “never-ending” conflict that does not serve American interests.

In a post on X on Thursday, Kent said the entire US intelligence community, including the CIA, had agreed before the escalation that Tehran was not pursuing a nuclear weapon.

He added that US agencies had also warned that Iran would target American bases across the Middle East and attempt to shut down the Strait of Hormuz if attacked by Israel or the US.

Despite this, “the narrative and agenda spun by a foreign government – Israel, won the argument and forced us into this war,” Kent wrote.

A former CIA officer, Kent claims that Trump fell victim to an Israeli misinformation campaign portraying Tehran as a threat. Similar lies were used to drag the US into war with Iraq back in 2003, he has argued.

Trump rejected those allegations last month, insisting that “Israel never talked me into the war with Iran” and reiterating that “Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.” Tehran has consistently maintained that its nuclear program is peaceful.

The US and Israel launched a military campaign against Iran in late February, prompting retaliatory strikes by Tehran on regional targets and shipping routes linked to the Strait of Hormuz. Despite a ceasefire announced by Trump last month, the US military launched a wave of strikes on Iranian targets near the strait on Thursday night, while Tehran accused Washington of violating the truce and responded by targeting American warships in the area.

According to Axios, US-Iran negotiations have focused on a proposed 14-point memorandum that reportedly includes a moratorium on Iranian uranium enrichment, phased US sanctions relief, the release of frozen Iranian funds, and guarantees of free transit through Hormuz.
