Two lawmakers in the United States Congress are pushing to repeal a section in an upcoming defence budget that would deepen integration between the US and Israeli militaries. Their effort comes amid outcry against the latest draft of the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a bill that sets the budget for the US military. On Sunday, Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna said he would use his seat on the House Armed Services Committee to put forward an amendment to remove Section 224 from the bill. His Republican colleague Thomas Massie also warned that, if the bill is approved by the committee, he would work to oppose it on the floor of the House of Representatives. He framed the issue as a question of US independence from foreign governments.

A 10-year moratorium on state-level AI regulation included in President Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" has brushed up against a mounting battle over the growth of data centers. On Thursday, Representative Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, posted on X that the megabill's 10-year block on states regulating artificial intelligence could "make it easier for corporations to get zoning variances, so massive AI data centers could be built in close proximity to residential areas." Massie, who did not vote for the bill, followed up his initial tweet with a screenshot of a story on a proposed data center in Oldham County, Kentucky, which downsized and changed locations following local pushback. "This isn't a conspiracy theory; this was a recent issue in my Congressional district," he wrote of concerns over the placement of data centers. "It was resolved at the local level because local officials had leverage. The big beautiful bill undermines the ability of local communities to decide where the AI data centers will be built."

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., joins'Fox & Friends' to discuss the disagreement over the House spending bill, Paris Hilton's push to pass a bill cracking down on abusive youth facilities, and concerns over mystery drone sightings. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., has compared America's practice of doling out aid to foreign countries to a preposterous hypothetical scenario in which an individual waters their neighbor's yard while their own house burns. "US foreign aid spending is like watering the neighbor's yard while your house is on fire," he tweeted. The congressman followed up his initial comment by sharing an AI-generated image of House Speaker Mike Johnson holding a hose as flames emerge from a house behind him. Fox News Digital reached out to request comment from Massie and a spokesperson confirmed that the image was created using AI, specifically, Grok.
