AOC says she may be weighing a 2028 presidential run

U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said in a post on X that she may have a "very unique political window" and is preparing for a 2028 campaign. The remark drew broad attention to her future political plans. Techub News carried the update and cited @Kalshi as the source. No further details were disclosed in the brief. The post has since fueled discussion around whether Ocasio-Cortez is actively assessing a presidential bid or signaling longer-term electoral ambitions ahead of the 2028 race.

Trump says every U.S. adult would get $5,000 if Republicans win both chambers of Congress

Donald Trump said in a speech on the opening night of the Republican National Convention that he would give every adult in the United States a $5,000 dividend if Republicans win both the House of Representatives and the Senate. In the same appearance, he again claimed he won the 2020 election and repeated allegations about voting machine fraud, illegal mail-in ballots, and manipulated vote counting in swing states, which the source noted have all been rejected. Trump also floated fresh renaming ideas, including changing New Mexico to "New America" and calling the Strait of Hormuz the "Trump Strait." NBC News' chief White House correspondent said the 50-minute speech contained no new material and largely repeated themes Trump has used in earlier campaign rallies and speeches, mixing jokes with lines familiar to MAGA supporters.

Trump posts third presidential ranking chart, puts himself alone in “The Greatest” tier

U.S. President Donald Trump posted a third version of his presidential tier list on Truth Social on Sept. 7, placing himself alone in the top category, “The Greatest,” above Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, who were grouped one tier lower under “Great.” The chart, which Trump has now revised three times since Aug. 27, listed 43 presidents across six categories and did not include any written explanation in any of the three posts. According to the report, the latest version moved Ulysses S. Grant up three tiers over the course of the revisions, while Woodrow Wilson fell two tiers. Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Warren Harding, Jimmy Carter, and Herbert Hoover were placed in the bottom “Failures” category. The report also said the chart’s framework closely tracks a 1948 LIFE magazine survey of 55 scholars organized by Harvard historian Arthur Schlesinger Sr. That ranking stands in sharp contrast with modern academic surveys. In the 2024 Presidential Greatness Project, scholars ranked Lincoln first, Franklin D. Roosevelt second, Washington third, and Trump last among 45 presidents. A CNN/SSRS poll from May, cited in the report, found that 53% of Republican voters named Trump as the Republican president they admired most, compared with 18% for Ronald Reagan and 8% for Lincoln.

Hunter Biden’s $LAPTOP token draw links political meme trading with mounting personal debt

Hunter Biden’s launch of the meme token $LAPTOP on Base is being framed in crypto circles as more than a political stunt. According to a TechFlowPost report, the token’s design, timing and allocation structure have prompted speculation that the move may also reflect pressure from his real-world finances. The report points to comments Biden made on Shawn Ryan Show, where he said he was carrying roughly $14 million to $15 million in debt and did not know how he would repay it. It also cites prior reporting from the New York Post that Winston & Strawn sued over roughly $15 million to $17 million in unpaid legal fees, alongside another $5 million being sought by Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris and $1 million claimed by a former art agent. Taken together, the article says his debt exposure has moved past $20 million. At the same time, the report says his income from painting sales, speaking work and book sales has weakened since Joe Biden left office. It also cites a Wall Street Journal breakdown of the tokenomics showing insiders control 30% of the 1 billion token supply, a stake that some overseas analysts said could be worth about $21 million if fully diluted valuation reached $70 million.

Hunter Biden to Launch $LAPTOP on Base, With 20% Set Aside for $TRUMP Losers

According to a Wall Street Journal report cited by BlockBeats, Hunter Biden, son of former U.S. President Joe Biden, said he will launch a meme token called $LAPTOP on Sept. 9 on Base, the blockchain network backed by Coinbase. The project is built around the political controversy known as the Hunter Biden laptop story and frames itself as a community token tied to political figures, public events, and meme culture rather than a new blockchain infrastructure or financial product. The token will have a total supply of 1 billion. Of that amount, 30% will be held by the founding team, including Hunter Biden, with a six-month lockup and vesting over two years. Another 20% will be distributed in two rounds to $TRUMP losers, Hunter Biden’s Substack subscribers, and users on an email list maintained by video journalist Andrew Callaghan. The project also includes an event-based burn structure that could remove as much as 30% of supply depending on the outcome of 30 preset events. If those outcomes do not occur, the corresponding tokens will be donated to charity.

AI-funded advocacy group launches ad push in three states as opposition to local data centers reaches 61%

An advocacy group backed by artificial intelligence billionaires has begun a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign in Kansas, Ohio and Wisconsin to defend data center development, according to Bloomberg. The group, Build American AI, is supported by the super PAC Leading the Future and says it wants to counter what it described as the country’s 「loudest and most extreme voices.」 The budget was not fully disclosed, beyond the statement that the effort is worth millions of dollars. The campaign comes as public resistance to local AI infrastructure rises. Annenberg Public Policy Center polling of 1,320 U.S. adults conducted between June 16 and July 19 found that 61% opposed new data centers in their area, up from 49% in a February-March survey. Opposition cut across party lines, with 69% of Democrats, 54% of Republicans and 53% of independents saying they were against nearby projects. Views on AI itself changed little over the same period. The backlash is now shaping politics and project finance. New York has a moratorium on hyperscale data centers, Texas has paused approvals, and several cities have imposed bans. Data Center Watch said 75 projects worth about $130 billion were blocked or delayed in the first quarter of 2026. Bloomberg also linked the fight to earlier conflicts around Bitcoin mining, as miners with hard-to-secure interconnection rights increasingly lease capacity to AI operators instead of mining BTC.
