President Donald Trump championed over $90 billion in fresh energy and artificial intelligence investments in Pennsylvania on Tuesday.
Trump led the inaugural Pennsylvania Energy &amp; Innovation Summit, accompanied by top tech and energy leaders, as well as Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) and members of his Cabinet.
“This afternoon, 20 leading technology and energy companies are announcing more than $92 billion of investments in Pennsylvania,” <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1945208346836963612">said</a> Trump. “This is a really triumphant day for the people of the commonwealth and for the United States of America.”
“The investments being announced this afternoon include more than $56 billion dollars in new energy infrastructure, and more than $36 billion dollars in new data center projects. And a lot more than that are going to be announced in the coming weeks,” he <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1945212116190756879">said</a>.
The Trump administration has prioritized the development of both AI and energy in a bid to lead the world in the advance of the next major technological breakthrough. The administration has placed special emphasis on the need to compete with China in AI development.
“We’re here today because we believe that America’s destiny is to dominate every industry and be the first in every technology, and that includes being the world&#8217;s number one superpower in artificial intelligence,” the president <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1945211160107655245">said</a>.
“We are way ahead of China,” he added. “I have to say we’re way ahead of China, and the plants are starting up, the construction is starting up.”
The tens of billions in investments to pour into the Keystone State include a $25 billion commitment from Blackstone Inc. Blackstone plans to build AI centers, as well as energy infrastructure to help power those centers.
“What makes us so excited about this area is that you can co-locate the data centers next to the source of power,” Blackstone President Jon Gray <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-15/trump-hails-92-billion-in-investments-for-ai-energy-projects">said</a> Tuesday, according to Bloomberg. “The special sauce here is putting these together, because building transmission lines, pipelines — that’s really difficult.”
The Trump administration has leaned hard into increasing fossil fuel energy production in the United States to keep pace with the surging power demand of expanding AI centers. Data centers have increased the pressure on the United States’ already strained grid.
The Energy Department released a report earlier this month <a href="https://www.energy.gov/articles/department-energy-releases-report-evaluating-us-grid-reliability-and-security">warning</a> “that blackouts could increase by 100 times in 2030 if the U.S. continues to shutter reliable power sources and fails to add additional firm capacity.”

Trump Touts Over $90B In Fresh AI, Energy Investment In Pennsylvania

President Donald Trump is pushing a handful of states to redraw their congressional maps to give more seats to Republicans in the U.S. House.
Trump told reporters on Tuesday that there are five states where Republicans could gain seats through a redrawing of their respective congressional maps. He only named one, however: Texas, where the president said that Republicans could pick up five seats.
“Just a very simple redrawing, we pick up five seats. We have a couple of other states where we’ll pick up seats also,” Trump <a href="https://x.com/Acyn/status/1945175711859531777">told</a> reporters earlier Tuesday.
Later, Trump expanded his state count to five, saying that three states could give Republicans one seat each and a fourth could give Republicans two to three next Congress.
“There&#8217;s about four [states other than Texas]. I&#8217;ll let you figure that one out, but we have about four of them. In three cases it&#8217;s one [seat], and in one case it&#8217;s two or three,” Trump <a href="https://x.com/atrupar/status/1945256269054382390">told</a> reporters. “And Texas would be 5.”
The president said that in a case where California redistricted to create more Democratic-leaning districts, his administration would sue.
“We&#8217;ll fight them. You know, they&#8217;re so corrupt in California,” the president said when asked about California’s potential to redistrict. “You never know what&#8217;s going to happen, but we&#8217;ve done pretty well in the courts in California, as you see. We&#8217;re batting about 1,000, ultimately. We start off a little slow, and then we get a lot of hits.”
Trump and the Department of Justice have reportedly <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/11/texas-redistricting-00448145?nid=0000018f-3124-de07-a98f-3be4d1400000&amp;nname=politico-toplines&amp;nrid=624a5923-6f85-4cd8-ac2f-b078a41f918d">pushed</a> Texas Governor Greg Abbott to lead redistricting in the Lone Star State to help Republicans maintain control of the House after the 2026 midterm elections. Abbott has instructed the state legislature to redraw the congressional map during a summer session.
Texas currently has 38 House seats. Twenty-five of those are currently held by Republicans. While redistricting could make some Democrat-held seats more favorable to Republicans, it could also make some GOP-held seats more competitive.
One of the other states that the White House is targeting to strengthen Republicans’ hand going into 2026 could be Ohio, which is required by law to redistrict ahead of the coming midterm elections.
National Democratic leaders are <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/us/politics/texas-redistricting-trump.html">pushing</a> Texas Democrats to stage a walkout to deny the legislature from passing a redistricted map that could create more favorable conditions for the GOP. In order for the Texas House to pass legislation, at least 100 members of the 150-member body must be present. Democrats could thwart Republicans if 51 of their 62-member coalition walked out.

Trump Says GOP Can Get Five More House Seats Redistricting Just One State

The White House is conducting a review of potentially more than one million documents approved through the autopen process under former President Joe Biden.
The White House Counsel’s Office is leading an investigation into the former president and his staff’s use of the autopen. The White House has already assembled tens of thousands of documents from Biden’s term turned over by the National Archives for review, according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/white-house-investigating-biden-use-autopen-sprawling-probe-incompetent-senile-former-president">Fox News</a>.
“Joe Biden was the worst, most incompetent, and senile president in our country&#8217;s history,” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News. “It has been widely reported that Joe Biden handed the power of the presidency to an autopen controlled by unelected leftist staffers, who were allowed to make terrible decisions that destroyed our country.”
“The Trump White House is committed to finding the answers to the many outstanding questions the American people still have about how business in the Biden White House was conducted,” she said.
White House officials expect to review potentially more than one million documents from the Biden administration that were approved via autopen. One official said that the review is aimed at providing transparency to the American people about Biden’s health and his understanding of the substantial number of documents that bear the former president’s signature.
“What did the former president direct, versus what he did not,” an official said, according to Fox News. “The only time a legitimate use of the autopen should happen is if the president said he wanted something done, or if he was asked for his approval.”
Biden was recently revealed to have not specifically approved thousands of prisoners and convicts that he granted pardons and clemency to in his final days in office. The former president told <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/13/us/politics/biden-pardon-autopen-trump.html">The New York Times</a> in an interview published on Sunday that he directed his staff to prepare a list of convicts that fell under certain criteria, such as those who were convicted of low-level drug offenses.
After compiling the list, White House staff used the autopen to grant relief to thousands of convicts in the president’s name. Staff did not run the final list past Biden before granting presidential relief.
Biden asserted to the Times that he “made every decision” despite the loosely supervised autopen process. The former president defended the use of the autopen in his final days in office because “we’re talking about a whole lot of people” who were given amnesty.
The White House review is running parallel to two other investigations into Biden&#8217;s autopen run by the House Oversight Committee and the Department of Justice. The White House Counsel&#8217;s Office is coordinating with the Justice Department in the review.

White House Reportedly Reviewing One Million Docs Approved By Biden Autopen

Attorney General Pam Bondi botched the investigation into the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, failing to deliver on hype she created around the convicted child sex offender, according to Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro.
Shapiro blasted Bondi during an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tclssk--CLk">appearance</a> on “The Megyn Kelly Show” on Monday, arguing that Bondi placed the FBI, and by extension the Trump administration, in a no-win situation by teasing documents and evidence on Epstein and his alleged conspirators that she could not deliver.
“I think that Pam Bondi botched this eight ways from Sunday. I have not seen a bigger botchery of a rollout of a story maybe ever,” said Shapiro.
“I&#8217;m not blaming anybody who&#8217;s upset with the fact that they were told by Pam Bondi, at least by implication, that there was an Epstein list, that there were tens of thousands of hours of tapes, that there are 1,000 victims, that there was more coming. And then nothing happens, right?” the Daily Wire host said. “That seems to be on Pam Bondi.”

Bondi’s public messaging in the months leading up to the release of the Department of Justice’s final conclusions on Epstein created a gulf between expectations and reality, according to Shapiro.
“Pam Bondi went on Fox News, at the very best was unclear when she said the Epstein list is on my desk,” he said, referring to a February interview in which Bondi <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bondi-says-epstein-client-list-sitting-my-desk-right-now-reviewing-jfk-mlk-files">said</a>, in response to a question about Epstein’s “client list”: “It’s sitting on my desk right now to review.”
“‘It,’ she claims, was like, all the papers for Epstein. Okay, fine, but you were very, very not clear about that, at best,” Shapiro added.
Later in February, the Department of Justice <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/right-wing-influencers-get-binders-labeled-the-epstein-files-but-downplay-revelations/">handed</a> out binders labeled “The Epstein Files: Phase 1” to right-wing influencers in a White House event. The binders handed out carried little to no new information on Epstein. After receiving blowback, Bondi clarified in a statement that the binders contained “documents that have been previously leaked, but never released in a formal capacity by the U.S. Government.”
Shapiro said the event was “much more damning” than Bondi’s poorly-worded Fox News interview.
“She had a bunch of influencers in the White House, she hands them a binder filled with old crap – all redacted. And then they trot out and hold it up to the cameras like, ‘Hey, look, this is our big prize.’ And then it turns out that there’s nothing new there,” the Daily Wire host said.
Hours after the event with right-wing influencers, Bondi released a letter she sent to FBI Director Kash Patel accusing his agency of misleading her about a trove of files on Epstein. The letter <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pam-bondi-says-fbi-lied-to-her-about-turning-over-all-of-the-epstein-files">said</a> that the FBI field office in New York withheld “thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation and indictment of Epstein.”
The issue was resolved less than a week later when the attorney general <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pam-bondi-says-she-received-a-truckload-of-epstein-files-after-accusing-fbi-of-lying">said</a> she received “a truckload” of Epstein files from the FBI.
Shapiro expressed skepticism over Bondi’s public rebuke of the FBI. “There is no evidence that there are all these documents that Kash Patel was hiding somewhere in the basement that he had not given Pam Bondi,” Shapiro pointed out.
“And then all we get is this two-page letter that, basically, is supposed to put everything to bed,” he continued, referring to a Department of Justice memo released last week <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doj-drops-11-hour-video-of-jeffrey-epsteins-prison-cell-on-night-he-died">concluding</a> that Epstein did not keep a “client list” and that the disgraced financier died by suicide in 2019.
The Trump administration has been embroiled in criticism since the Department of Justice released its findings on July 6, much of the fire coming from supporters of President Donald Trump.
The fiasco has led to fissures within the Justice Department, with FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino reportedly threatening to quit unless Bondi steps down. Nobody has yet exited the administration, and the president has publicly attempted to soothe criticism and downplay divisions in the administration.
If Bongino’s version of events is accurate – that Bondi oversold what the FBI had on Epstein and placed the agency and its leadership in an impossible situation – “then, obviously, I&#8217;m very much on Dan Bongino&#8217;s side and Kash Patel&#8217;s side,” said Shapiro.
Bondi’s handling of the Epstein investigation “makes Dan look bad, it makes Kash look bad, it makes the president look bad, and all the rest,” he said. “I think that Pam Bondi pretty clearly to the public made a bunch of statements that were unrepresentative of the final DOJ-FBI memo that was released.”

Ben Shapiro: Pam Bondi ‘Botched’ Epstein Rollout ‘Eight Ways From Sunday’

Border Czar Tom Homan roasted a protester who interrupted his speech at a Turning Point USA event on Saturday.
Homan spoke at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida, on Saturday evening, defending Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and President Donald Trump’s immigration and deportation policies.
In the middle of his speech, a protester with a large photo of Homan doctored to have gang signs on his knuckles interrupted the border czar to ask if he is “an MS-13 member.”
“I got a question for you: Why don&#8217;t you come up here and hand me that picture, right? Bring it,” Homan taunted back before leading the crowd to begin chanting “USA, USA” as security guards came to escort the protester out.
“They got morons like this all over the country,” Homan continued as the protester was escorted out of the venue. “This guy ain&#8217;t got the balls to be an ICE officer. He hasn&#8217;t got the balls to be a Border Patrol agent. This guy lives in his mother&#8217;s basement.”
“The only thing that surprised me, you don’t have purple hair and a nose ring. Get out of here, you loser. And, hey, if you&#8217;re such a bada**, meet me off stage in 13 minutes and 50 seconds,” said Homan. “I guarantee you he sits down to pee. Guaranteed.”

Homan’s speech was also protested outside the event by anti-ICE protesters. The border czar delivered a message for them from the podium, as well, according to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/07/12/us-news/border-czar-tom-homan-delivers-stern-warning-to-anti-ice-protesters-you-want-some-come-get-some/">New York Post</a>.
“You want some? Come get some,” Homan said. “I’m tired of it. For the men and women of ICE, I deserve your respect. They’re the finest 1% this country has. And Tom Homan isn’t going anywhere. Tom Homan isn’t shutting up.”
Violence against ICE agents has surged in recent months as immigration enforcement has carried out operations to deport illegal aliens, many of them suspected or convicted of violent crimes and considered to be public safety threats. Last week, Homan said that attacks targeting ICE agents have surged 700% compared to last year.
“The attack on ICE officers … is up nearly 700% now,” Homan <a href="https://grabien.com/story?id=535014">said</a> in an interview on Fox News. Homan said that the increase in violence directed at federal immigration enforcement is at least partly due to irresponsible rhetoric from Democrats.
“The rhetoric against the men and women of ICE is skyrocketing, especially by members of Congress. We have senators, we have congresspeople that compare ICE to the Nazis, compare ICE to racists, and it just continues,” said Homan. “The public thinks, well, if a member of Congress can attack ICE, why can&#8217;t we?”
Some recent verbal attacks on ICE have <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/07/democrats-inspire-vicious-escalating-attacks-on-ice/">included</a> Minnesota Governor Tim Walz calling ICE agents “modern-day Gestapo,” Boston Mayor Michelle Wu comparing ICE to a neo-Nazi group, and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson suggesting ICE agents are “secret police.”

Tom Homan Demolishes Heckler At TPUSA Event: ‘I Guarantee You He Sits Down To Pee’

President Donald Trump is prepared to take a much harsher approach toward Russia to bring the war in Ukraine to an end, according to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).
Graham on Sunday said to “stay tuned” for presidential announcements on sanctions, asset seizures, and other levers that the Trump administration could pull to increase pressure on Russia to negotiate for an end to the war.
“The idea of America selling weapons to help Ukraine is very much in play,” Graham said in an interview on CBS’s “Face The Nation.”
“I don&#8217;t want to get ahead of the president, but stay tuned about seized assets,” he continued. “The Europeans want to limit the interest on the assets to go to Ukraine. Secretary Bessent wants to go further. Stay tuned about a plan to go after the seized assets more aggressively. Stay tuned for a plan where America will begin to sell to our European allies a tremendous amount of weapons that can benefit Ukraine.”
Trump in recent weeks has grown more disillusioned with Russian President Vladimir Putin. 
“We get a lot of bulls*** thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth. He&#8217;s very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless,” the president said at a cabinet meeting last week.
Graham and Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut introduced a bill that would authorize Trump to levy up to 500% tariffs on countries that purchase Russian uranium, oil, and gas. Graham said the bill would be a “literal sledgehammer” to Russia and its economic allies.
“The big offenders here are China, India, and Brazil. India buys oil from Russia cheap and resells it. That&#8217;s despicable,” said Graham. “The only way you&#8217;re going to end this war is to get people who prop up Putin; make them choose between the American economy and helping Putin.
“You can only have one negotiator, and that&#8217;s going to be President Trump with maximum flexibility to end this war. China, India, and Brazil, you&#8217;re about to get hurt big time if you keep helping Putin,” the South Carolina senator warned.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
U.S. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said during an interview today with CBS News that people should “stay tuned” for tomorrow’s announcement from President Trump regarding Russia, with him adding, “The game, regarding Putin&#39;s invasion of Russia, is about to change. I expect,… <a href="https://t.co/i9wafmCMc1">pic.twitter.com/i9wafmCMc1</a>

The president has not voiced public support for the bill. The president has said he is willing to sign it with a caveat: the bill be modified to give him more flexibility over the sanctions. Graham said last week that he would revise the bill to give the president authority to waive the sanctions completely, according to <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/09/trump-is-interested-in-new-russia-sanctions-but-theres-a-catch-00445148">Politico</a>.
