When the permitting deal is too bad for (checks notes) John Podesta, I think the abundance nerds might have lost the plot a little bit.

[jae holzman @jaeporeon]

SCOOP: Former Biden senior climate advisor John Podesta said senators should renegotiate the bipartisan permitting deal & he believes the bill’s permit certainty language hands Trump a “loaded Howitzer” to go after public lands.

I grew up in Lubbock and let me tell you, if he’s getting heckled there, it must truly happen everywhere he goes.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Trump is heckled at his rally in Lubbock, Texas:

"I think it sounds like you have a paid protester. Paid protester. Wow"

[Pete Sikora @PeteSikora1]

👀 Great questions from 4 Dem Senators on the permitting deal’s “inherent logical inconsistency”.

"The promise of BAAJA will only succeed if President Trump takes care it is faithfully executed. The administration’s record gives us no basis to assume he will."

@jonmachota Used to take way fewer than 17 plays for the other team to score a touchdown.

Over the summer of 2026, our four interns researched 12 data center proposals across six Southwestern PA counties. If they're all built, they could add enough gas-fired power to equal about three-quarters of the electricity the entire state of Pennsylvania used in 2024.

@mattyglesias Maybe you could apply this logic to, say, Democratic primaries in Michigan?

Conflating clean energy and data centers is a policy choice—a choice we shouldn’t make!!!

Yet another reminder that Dolan is awful.

What the actual fuck have I just read

Yet another community in Pennsylvania sends AI data center developers packing!

The movement truly gets stronger every day.

Huge new poll shows majority want to halt all AI data center contraction in the US https://t.co/OGsJVRbC2G

[Alex Beauchamp @AlexAtFWW]

It sure would be!

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

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.

Joyous, chilly morning at the starting line for Detroit marathon (I’m running the half)

[Tyson Slocum @TysonSlocum]

the explicit justification for this legislative deal by Sen Dems Whitehouse & Heinrich is that this is a climate bill that will reduce emissions. The fact that now its proponents are admitting that the emissions benefits are hazy punch a pretty large credibility hole here

[Alex Beauchamp @AlexAtFWW]

Great to see @AyannaPressley and @chrisrabb campaigning for @AbdulElSayed today in Detroit and emphasizing that the real power comes from the people!

[MTS @MTSlive]

Blue Rose Research's @davidshor on why AI data centers have become a major issue in the midterms, with just 12% of voters wanting one nearby compared to 13% for a prison:

"If you ask voters, 'Do you want a data center built in your neighborhood?' 12% of voters say yes. If you ask whether they want a prison, 13% say yes. Those numbers were in the 40s 8 months ago."

"Data centers have become just a radioactively unpopular thing, and both political parties are running tons of ads about that."

"I personally think that AI is gonna be the dominant issue about a year from now when these primaries are really kicking off."

[Alex Beauchamp @AlexAtFWW]

New poll shows voters in New Jersey (like everywhere!) really hate data centers, and not just in their backyards but anywhere in the state.

Three food mega-mergers are in the works right now:

Kroger + Giant Eagle

Sysco + Restaurant Depot

McCormick + Unilever's food business

If the Trump admin rubber-stamps these deals, it could mean even higher food prices.

[Alex Beauchamp @AlexAtFWW]

Tell @GovKathyHochul and the Public Service Commission: Stop the rush to build data centers!

[Alex Beauchamp @AlexAtFWW]

Hey, maybe Dem leadership shouldn't cut a deal right now to fast track data centers with a historically unpopular president?

[Owen Winter @OwenWntr]

Trump voters are driving the trend. Around 17% of those who live within 2km of a data centre now say they'll support Democrats in November, compared with around 6% elsewhere
