Official statement from incoming chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform @RepRobertGarcia:

The Senate's proposed permitting bill would strip communities of protections, accelerate gas expansion to power AI data centers, and undermine climate action.
It's a gift to the fossil fuel industry.

It would be tone deaf if Congress makes it easier to build data centers right after an election with bipartisan rage against shoving them down the throats of local communities.
The Senate's bipartisan permit reform bill would upend the National Environmental Policy Act and also weaken the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, and the National Historic Preservation Act. My legal analysis: scholarship.law.columbia.edu…

The Senate permitting bill would be a gift to data centers and their massive gas buildout. It would weaken accountability + give developers more power at communities’ expense.
Congress should reject the bill.

Today's bipartisan package from @SenMikeLee, @SenCapito, @SenatorHeinrich and @SenWhitehouse is a major step toward fixing our broken permitting system and building the infrastructure Americans need for affordable, reliable energy.
Let’s get America building again.

This is obviously horrible in its own right, but also it brings to light something people haven't talked enough about: the data center boom runs on diesel generators.

Our Livable Futures Director, Katie Thomas, walks The Hum through an example of local policies passing on data centers across the US.
Katie shares her tracker and gives a menu of options and ideas so any community can be prepared to fight back.

Hamid Bendaas joins Hasan to release a poll of the first 6 Dem primary states:
Neera Tanden or Josh Gottheimer who say, no, Israel's not committing a genocide, yes, we should keep sending weapons, the pro Palestinian movement is fringe.
They're fringe.

Casually back to war with Iran
Casually back to violent confrontations with ICE
Casually back to sporadic trade war policy (Spain)
Casually back to demanding Greenland.
And soon to be casually back to litigating the Epstein files (Blanche hearing)

The federal government just made it easier to connect new data centers to the grid. Meanwhile, communities are facing higher electric bills, polluted water, and relentless noise from data center development.

It’s not an antisemitic conspiracy theory when a foreign lobby openly brags that they bought two congressional seats with candidates who will be loyal to Israel.

This should be on every front page in America
This is the FBI’s list of “Prominent Names” it was tracking in the Epstein Case. This list appears in this slide show, FBI email correspondence, and FBI tip sheets — all of which I saw unredacted today. Believe the survivors.
You can see this file on DOJ’s website ⬇️

Starting with almost no name recognition, Analilia Mejía took on the oligarchs, the Republican establishment and Democratic establishment—and WON.
The American people want leaders who stand up to the billionaire class and fight for working families.
Congratulations, Analilia.

Americans are watching their power bills skyrocket. Meanwhile Trump has been illegally CANCELING new energy projects across the country, making the electricity affordability crisis even worse.
Today in @EnergyCommerce I’m demanding answers from @FERC about what must be done to fix the growing affordability and reliability crisis facing our power grid.
