China launched major military exercises in the waters and airspace around Taiwan Monday in what it called a “stern warning” against outside interference in Chinese affairs, as tensions grow with the U.S. and Japan over the security of the island. Pete Hegseth Thinks Boot Camp Got Too Soft. If the trainees expected to be chewed out as they formed lines and awaited orders, they were disappointed. There were no Hollywood theatrics. No screaming, red-faced drill instructors. No unprintable insults. The mood was calm, professional, business-like. Now, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wants to turn back the clock.

Now he is joining a fight in the famously libertarian haven to keep the federal government from obtaining a list of the state’s voters. “This is an attempt to exercise federal interference in what is really a state issue,” said Kurk, who is part of a bipartisan group trying to intervene in a lawsuit brought by the Justice Department to get that list. “In New Hampshire, we’re always trying to make sure that our voter lists are accurate.” The Trump administration wants to control how data centers connect to the power grid At a conference of state utility regulators in Seattle, a group of Trump administration officials got an earful of complaints about a plan the White House is pushing for the federal government to take control of part of the country’s power grid in the service of artificial intelligence. Their concerns stem from instructions Energy Secretary Chris Wright recently gave to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which is known as FERC and oversees wholesale power in the U.S., to draft new rules that would give it oversight of how giant data centers connect to the power grid. The process is typically overseen by states. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
