Happy Wednesday, Patriots!

President Trump told reporters Tuesday that Attorney General Pam Bondi should release “whatever she thinks is credible” from the Epstein case, as frustration simmers inside the MAGA base.

Bondi is facing heat after her office denied the existence of a “client list” despite saying months ago that it was “on her desk.” Trump defended her, saying she’s handled the situation well, but questioned why the public is still fixated on Epstein.

“Only really bad people, including the fake news, want to keep something like this going,” Trump said.

But Speaker Mike Johnson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Lauren Boebert are pushing for full transparency, and MAGA isn’t letting this go.

Hey Team! 😎

Over the past six months, President Trump has been busy making America a better place for our future. So far, he’s been absolutely aggressive - taking on elite law firms, Ivy League universities and the media, winning big settlements from two of the three broadcast networks. He’s sealed the border, backed stronger tactics by ICE agents, ended a war in the Middle East, and slapped even longtime allies with sky-high tariffs, all of which he had promised during his campaign. 

Now, with the announcement of historic new AI investments, Trump is taking the reigns and steering the nation into the forefront of innovation and prosperity once again. By strengthening new technology research and development, he is planting the seeds for true independence from foreign business. Putting America first, the President is proving he is the type of leader we deserve.

Check out all the latest developments and more below!

💰 Trump's State-by-State Savings Breakdown
The White House unveiled an interactive map showcasing projected financial gains for citizens in each state under President Trump's "One Big, Beautiful Bill Act." This tool specifies anticipated savings, including real wage increases and boosts in take-home pay for families. For instance, a typical California family with two children could see an increase of $8,500 to $12,500 in take-home pay. Similarly, a family in Nebraska is projected to experience a $7,300 to $10,300 increase in take-home pay. The map also details the number of seniors benefiting from tax-free Social Security and the percentage of the labor force benefiting from tax-free tips per state.

🤝 Trump Secures Indonesia Trade Deal
President Trump announced a new trade deal with Indonesia on Tuesday morning via Truth Social. This agreement follows President Trump's recent announcement of a 32 percent tariff on Indonesia, scheduled to take effect on August 1. While specific details remain limited, President Trump optimistically described it as a "Great deal, for everybody." Indonesia was one of roughly two dozen nations that received tariff letters from President Trump, setting an August 1 deadline for new duties. This deal marks the latest in a series of trade agreements since President Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs in April, following prior deals with the United Kingdom and Vietnam.

💰 Trump's $9 Billion Clawback Advances
President Trump's proposal to claw back $9 billion from foreign aid and public broadcasting successfully passed its initial Senate committee test. The original bill aimed for $9.4 billion in cuts but was adjusted to $9 billion, retaining $400 million for global HIV and AIDS prevention. Vice President JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote, as three Republican senators joined Democrats in opposition. The proposed reductions include nearly $8 billion from USAID and over $1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. This bill now faces additional procedural votes and potential amendments in the Senate, despite House Speaker Mike Johnson's preference for no changes.

⚔️ Trump and Russia Sanctions Push
A bipartisan group of senators, including Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal, are developing a bill to impose severe sanctions on Russia. This legislation seeks to implement tariffs of up to 500% on nations purchasing Russian energy products, targeting oil, gas, and uranium exports primarily to China and India. President Trump's recent threat of a 100% tariff against Moscow for the Ukraine war has aligned with the senators' goal. The senators view President Trump's strengthened stance as a "game changer" that complements their comprehensive bill. They believe congressional backing through legislation would provide legal and political benefits for the President's actions against Russia.

🔔 Trump’s America First AI and Energy Vision🔔

President Trump traveled to Pittsburgh to announce over $90 billion in groundbreaking artificial intelligence and energy investments, marking a massive leap forward in America's technological dominance. At the inaugural Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit held at Carnegie Mellon University, the president declared a "true golden age for America" in energy policy and artificial intelligence, proclaiming the United States as "the hottest country anywhere in the world." The president told attendees they would "see some real action here" and urged them to "get ready" for the transformative changes ahead.

The summit, organized by Republican Senator David McCormick, brought together dozens of top executives from companies aiming to transform Pennsylvania into a hub for advancements in robotics, artificial intelligence, and energy infrastructure. President Trump emphasized that America's destiny is to dominate every industry and be first in every technology, including becoming the world's number one superpower in artificial intelligence. The president confidently stated that "we are way ahead of China" in the AI race, framing the massive investments as part of a strategic competition with China for the most advanced deployment of artificial intelligence. Speaking from prepared notes during the hourlong roundtable in a university gymnasium, President Trump was flanked by several Cabinet members, company executives, and local political leaders. The president added that the United States will be "fighting them in a very friendly fashion" as China and other countries race to catch up to America on AI.

Google committed $25 billion to AI and data center infrastructure over the next two years in the mid-Atlantic electricity grid, while Blackstone plans to spend $25 billion on data centers and natural gas-fired power plants in northeastern Pennsylvania. CoreWeave announced over $6 billion to equip a data center in south-central Pennsylvania, and investment firm Brookfield signed contracts to provide more than $3 billion of power to Google's data centers from two hydroelectric dams on the Susquehanna River.

The event featured participation from global behemoths including Blackstone, Bridgewater, SoftBank, Amazon Web Services, BlackRock, and ExxonMobil, alongside local companies such as Pittsburgh-based Gecko Robotics, which deploys AI to bolster energy capacity. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that AI models will soon be like having a "country of geniuses in a data center," emphasizing the crucial need for the United States to "lock down every piece of the supply chain" from chips to energy infrastructure. Meta committed $2.5 million toward a partnership program with Carnegie Mellon to support rural Pennsylvania startups, while Anthropic provided $1 million over three years to support a cybersecurity education program for middle and high school students. The artificial intelligence company also contributed an additional $1 million for energy research at Carnegie Mellon University.

Administration officials framed the need to produce as much energy as possible, especially from coal and natural gas, as essential to beating China in the AI race for economic and national security reasons. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick declared that "the AI revolution is upon us" and emphasized the need to embrace clean coal, natural gas, and nuclear energy, warning that "if we don't do it we're fools."

The president's vision extends beyond technology to encompass complete domestic manufacturing, with Trump stating that American workers will "forge the steel, produce the energy, build the factories and really run a country like this country has never been run before." This comprehensive approach reflects the administration's commitment to ensuring every stage of a product's life cycle occurs within US borders.

Pennsylvania's strategic importance stems from its position at the center of the prolific Marcellus Shale natural gas reservoir and its growing AI industry, including Carnegie Mellon University's prestigious engineering programs and the so-called AI Avenue housing offices for Google and other AI firms. The state has secured major investment wins in recent months, driven by both federal manufacturing policy and the ravenous electricity demands of the fast-growing AI business.

The summit addressed the critical challenge of meeting AI's demanding energy requirements, with global electricity demand from data centers expected to double to around 945 terawatt-hours by 2030. This surge in demand, equivalent to Japan's entire electricity consumption, necessitates the comprehensive energy strategy President Trump outlined at the event. Energy provider Dominion Energy has increased its estimated power needs for the next decade because of surging data center demand, further validating the administration's focus on energy infrastructure. Bruce Flatt, CEO of Brookfield, emphasized during a panel discussion that "what's going on is a rewiring of the economy, of the world over the next 15 years and that takes trillions and trillions and tens of trillions of dollars, and it starts with power."

President Trump's AI and energy initiatives build upon his earlier declaration of a national energy emergency and the announcement of the $500 billion Stargate AI infrastructure project involving OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle. The administration has also rolled back Biden-era AI export restrictions on AI chips, further positioning America for technological leadership in the global AI race that intensified with the emergence of Chinese startup DeepSeek.

The Pennsylvania investments represent a pivotal moment in President Trump's America First agenda, combining technological innovation with energy dominance to secure America's position as the world's undisputed leader in artificial intelligence and energy production.
