"The president of the United States is not well. We can see it with our own eyes. He has tremendous difficulty staying awake on the job. Donald Trump has repeatedly fallen asleep at multiple cabinet meetings, at multiple White House events, at a Memorial Day ceremony and most recently at a very loud and raucous New York Knicks-San Antonio Spurs game at night. The White House needs to come clean to the American people. They need to explain why Donald Trump keeps going to the hospital and why they keep giving him cognitive tests. The American people deserve the truth."

— Representative Ted Lieu (D-CA)

Arizona budget deal includes 3-year pause on data center tax exemptions

State leaders reached compromise on issue that was a big topic during budget negotiations

PHOENIX (AZFamily) — State leaders announced Tuesday that they reached a budget deal, ending months of negotiations three weeks ahead of their deadline.

The agreement includes a moratorium on data center tax exemptions.

The two sides agreed on a three-year pause on tax exemptions for new data centers. The tax exemption has stood for more than a decade and was a major point in the budget fight. It is viewed as a major reason data centers have proliferated across the state.

Republican members of the Senate Armed Services Committee blocked a Democratic effort Thursday to strengthen existing bans on federal troops entering polling stations or seizing ballots or voting machines, two senators told MS NOW.

Democrats called the Republicans’ opposition to the measure “deeply alarming” and predicted that President Donald Trump would deploy federal troops in an effort to interfere in this November’s midterm elections, which polls suggest his party will lose.

Plans for Australia's first Trump Tower scrapped due to 'toxic' brand, developer says

Plans for a A$1.5bn ($1.1bn; £802m) Trump Tower in Queensland have been scrapped with an Australian developer blaming the "toxic" Trump brand and the Iran war for the project's demise.

It comes just three months after the deal was announced, with claims that the 91-storey luxury hotel on the Gold Coast would be Australia's tallest building, measuring 335 metres (1,100 ft) high, taller than the Shard in London.

Details about the project have been deleted from the Trump Organization's website with a spokesperson saying the developer had not met obligations.

Altus Property Group denied those claims and maintained the project would continue with other luxury brands as options.
