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.

Mike Rogers, a former U.S. congressman who pushed false claims of a stolen 2024 election in Michigan and praised Trump’s recent primetime tirade against elections, won Michigan’s Republican primary election for an open U.S. Senate seat Tuesday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Mike Rogers, GOP convert to election denial, wins Michigan GOP Senate primary

If elected, Rogers will flip a key seat and be another Trump ally in the Senate who could help to pass more voter suppression measures, including the stalled SAVE America Act.
