Trump Makes Stunning Announcement About Pam Bondi - No One Saw This Coming
New York City – May 29, 2026
Trump Appoints Former Attorney General Pam Bondi to Presidential AI Advisory Council as She Recovers from Thyroid Cancer
New York City, New York — President Donald J. Trump has named former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to a prominent position on the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, where she will focus on the administration’s artificial intelligence strategy.
The appointment was confirmed following a social media post on Tuesday in which Bondi’s recovery from thyroid cancer was highlighted. According to the details shared, Bondi has undergone treatment and is recovering successfully from the highly curable form of cancer, which carries a 98 percent five-year survival rate.
Katie Miller, a former official in the first Trump administration and wife of senior adviser Stephen Miller, publicly praised Bondi’s resilience.
“[Pam] has a heart of gold,” she wrote on X.
Miller noted that Bondi approached her health battle with the same determination she has shown in public service. She also shared a screenshot of an Axios report confirming the health update and the new role.
Bondi served as Attorney General of Florida and later as a key ally during Trump’s first term. Her return to the administration comes at a time when the White House is accelerating efforts to maintain United States leadership in artificial intelligence, particularly in competition with China.
In the new position, Bondi will help coordinate discussions between the White House and leading technology executives serving on the panel, including Jensen Huang of NVIDIA, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, and Larry Ellison of Oracle.
The council forms part of a broader initiative to steer AI development toward national security and economic competitiveness. Administration officials have repeatedly stated that the United States must avoid politically driven priorities that could hinder technological progress.
President Trump addressed the importance of AI dominance during remarks to reporters last week.
“We’re leading China, we’re leading everybody, and I don’t want to do anything that’s going to get in the way of that lead.”
Vice President JD Vance welcomed Bondi’s involvement in a statement provided to Axios.
“Pam has been an enormously valuable asset to the president’s team, and I’m thrilled for her and for all of us that she’s going to remain involved in confronting some of the most important issues the administration faces.”
The announcement has drawn attention both for Bondi’s health recovery and for the strategic placement of a longtime Trump ally at the center of the administration’s rapidly expanding AI agenda. Officials describe the council as a mechanism to ensure that American innovation remains at the forefront of global competition while prioritizing security and economic strength.
No additional medical details were released beyond the confirmation of successful treatment and ongoing recovery. Bondi’s supporters have described the development as a positive sign of her return to active public service.
The move aligns with the administration’s stated goal of assembling experienced voices to guide policy on emerging technologies. As the United States continues to invest heavily in AI infrastructure, the inclusion of Bondi is expected to strengthen coordination between government and the private sector.
Hakeem Jeffries Panics - He Just Lost A WAVE of House Seats Intensifies
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries issued a sharp public rebuke against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis following the governor's announcement of a special legislative session to redraw Florida’s congressional district boundaries, a strategic move expected to yield four additional seats for Republicans in the United States House of Representatives.
Governor DeSantis defended the mid-decade redistricting initiative by asserting that Florida was shortchanged in the 2020 Census relative to its explosive population growth over recent years. DeSantis emphasized that registered Republicans now hold a 1.5 million voter advantage across the Sunshine State, arguing that the existing district boundaries rely on unconstitutional racial classifications rather than geographic and demographic reality.
"The new map will more fairly reflect Florida’s current population makeup and fulfill our commitment to mid-decade adjustments."
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis stated during his official announcement of the special session.
Representative Jeffries quickly pushed back against the plan, characterizing the proposed congressional map as a partisan overreach that could ultimately backfire on state Republicans during upcoming election cycles.
"It is a 'DeSantis Dummymander'. Florida Republicans pursuing this redistricting will end up in the exact same situation as Texas Republicans, whom I describe as being on the run. They are dummymandering their way into the minority before a single vote is cast."
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries declared in response to the governor's redistricting strategy.
In a swift counter-response, Governor DeSantis dismissed the minority leader's warnings, inviting the New York Democrat to travel to Florida to campaign personally against the proposed boundary adjustments.
"I invite Leader Jeffries to campaign in Florida. I would be happy to host him at the governor’s mansion and take him fishing. Having Jeffries campaign across the state will only benefit Republicans because Florida voters will soundly reject the ideology being presented."
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis stated during a subsequent media press conference.
The redistricting battle in Florida unfolds amidst a broader national struggle for control of the House of Representatives, where state-level map adjustments across the country could determine the congressional majority. The Supreme Court of the United States recently lifted a lower court injunction that had temporarily blocked a new congressional map in Texas, a decision that could potentially add five Republican seats to the lower chamber.
Conversely, California’s pending redistricting plans are projected to yield five additional seats for Democrats, while Virginia’s congressional map remains subject to ongoing legal challenges before the state Supreme Court over constitutional boundary concerns. As both major political parties adjust their national strategies, mid-decade redistricting initiatives in key states continue to reshape the legislative landscape ahead of the upcoming congressional elections.
