California doesn’t require a data center to tell anyone how much water it will drink before it opens. A bill up in Senate Appropriations on Monday would make operators swear to that number—maximum day, maximum month, average year—under penalty of perjury.

The petition to force a House floor vote on permanent status for people brought here as children sits 8 names short of the 218 it needs, and hasn’t moved since July 23. Every House seat is on the 2026 ballot, so the question now goes to the candidates asking for your vote.

Pass the DREAM Act

Grant permanent status and a clear path to citizenship for people brought to this country as children. DACA is a stopgap one administration created and another can end; Congress has had bipartisan majorities for the underlying policy for twenty years and has never managed to vote on a clean bill.
