A Tea Party founder is launching a nationwide campaign called the "Data Center Revolt" against AI data center expansion, arguing that tech corporations are encroaching on local communities. The tour will start in Austin, Texas, and travel across various regions to advocate for local transparency and community representation. Instead of seeking national bans, the group advocates for giving ordinary Americans a voice in development decisions affecting their electricity rates, water, land, and quality of life.

Americans protested AI data centers nationwide on Saturday, organized by Humans First, a conservative nonprofit led by Amy Kremer. Demonstrations occurred in over 100 locations, including Kenilworth, New Jersey, where a $1.8 billion project faces local opposition.

Amy Kremer, chair of Humans First, is organizing a nationwide protest against AI data centers on July 18. The group argues that these facilities raise electricity costs, harm the environment, and degrade rural communities, while industry supporters claim they are vital for AI development and economic growth.

A group of over 60 MAGA allies, including Steve Bannon and Amy Kremer, are urging President Trump to test and approve powerful AI models before release. The letter compares AI to nuclear systems and aviation, calling for mandatory testing and government approval. This move opposes the White House's hands-off approach to AI regulation.
