The media company run by Donald Trump Jr. and former Republican Congressmember Devin Nunes has announced a $6 billion merger with a firm that hopes to build the world’s first viable nuclear fusion power plant. The merger between the Trump Media & Technology Group and TAE Technologies comes after President Trump signed an executive order seeking to bar states from regulating artificial intelligence and the energy-intensive data centers needed to power AI.

This comes as Vermont independent Senator Bernie Sanders is continuing to speak out against AI data centers amid a construction boom that’s led to protests over skyrocketing electricity costs and strains on communities’ water supplies.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: “I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering this unregulated sprint to develop and deploy AI. This moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up with the transformative changes that we are witnessing, and make sure that the benefits of these technologies work for all of us, not just the wealthiest people on Earth.”
