I have a lot of respect for @RoKhanna , but I want to make two points: First, why the line of attack he’s pushing here is wrong on the merits, and second, why it would be a big strategic blunder for Democrats to validate it. 🧵

This is like saying reducing air pollution helps Trump breathe better, or that lowering gas prices helps data centers because they use gas. Staying “in the realm of facts” also means recognizing when something is a big stretch, to the point of being disingenuous.

The idea that BAAJA helps data centers is bullshit. To the contrary, it contains aggressive accountability measures *against* data centers. Judge the merits of the data center attack for yourself—this screenshot is the entire basis. But I want to make a larger point here. The effort to manufacture this attack out of thin air is being led by left-wing groups, against Democrats. With the midterms a few weeks away, this is how they choose to spend their time and energy. This is a perfect example of how the left-wing advocacy community has curdled and turned in on itself. And this is all over a bill negotiated by fierce climate champions @SenWhitehouse and @SenatorHeinrich—a bill which even critics acknowledge will reduce carbon emissions and supercharge the green energy buildout. With Democrats poised to take power in few weeks, candidates and lawmakers should take note: these folks are not your allies.
