Cuba Pressure Escalates: The U.S. is reportedly preparing to indict Raul Castro over the 1996 Brothers to the Rescue aircraft attack, as Cuba also weighs drone options amid rising tensions. Florida Campaign Push: Evelyn Castillo-Bach says she’d ban data-center NDAs and fund affordable housing through mandatory Big Tech fees—aiming at secrecy and cost-shifting.

Energy Cost Rules: DeSantis also signed a law requiring large energy users, including data centers, to bear their own electric service costs.
