Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.
Rent isn’t high by accident, it’s high because 9 landlords colluded with an algorithm called RealPage to fix prices behind your back. Kris Mayes sued every single one of them. This is what a real fighter looks like, and it’s why she deserves your vote, AZ! #BlueWaveIn90Days
This is the reality inside ICE detention centers. Children are being forced into jail-like conditions while this Administration strips away their basic human rights. We cannot allow this stand. We must hold this inhumane Administration accountable!
Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

Fierce pushback. Let’s go!
Amazon Web Services is abandoning its plans to develop data centers on the campus of the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, a move that comes after fierce voter pushback against hyperscale data centers in Calvert County’s June primary election. marylandmatters.org/2026/08/04/a...
You could have voted to impeach in January 2000. Instead, you voted for no witnesses and no documents to be allowed at trial. You are a failed person, Cornyn.
This is basically what I predicted. Governors are going to "pause" data centers just to take the edge off the political backlash & create some space. After their elections they'll do some real policy.
New Texas data center projects frozen until state audits them

Of course it’s breaking the law! But as a joke of a country that can’t even prosecute a blatant coup, I have no doubt this will continue unchecked.
