The $100M Lobbying Wall Facing Sanders’ Bold AI Data Center Ban

On March 25, 2026, Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez threw a wrench into the AI boom by introducing S.4214. The bill, known as the Artificial Intelligence Data Center Moratorium Act, is a bold attempt to halt the physical expansion of the industry. It's not just about the buildings: the legislation also wants to tighten the screws on chip exports to unregulated markets. While some view this through the lens of a class struggle against 'tech oligarchs,' we're digging into the nuts and bolts of the bill, the geopolitical risks it creates, and the massive $100 million lobbying wall it's about to hit in the Senate. We also take a look at the Senate HELP Committee research that claims nearly 100 million jobs could vanish within a decade.

Orbán’s Inner Circle Is Dumping Stocks: Is the Hungarian 'Deep State' Failing?

Hungary's April 12, 2026, election is shaping up to be a total shift in the landscape. Pollster Medián now puts Péter Magyar’s Tisza Party at a massive 20-point lead over Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz. It's a huge gap, but the story isn't just about votes. Magyar is a former Fidesz insider who knows the system's secrets, and he's facing a captured economy where Orbán's allies control 60 percent of the media and the country's vital infrastructure. We're looking at why loyalists are dumping their stocks and how a legal "deep state" is built to survive even if the regime loses.
