I started thinking about the way that I felt when I watched law firms like Paul Weiss capitulate to Trump… when ABC and CBS settled insane lawsuits with Trump… when tech CEOs and companies lined up to pay Trump millions for his ballroom. I remember being so fucking angry because, in effect, those people and their decision to try and make their own lives easier actually made the rest of us less safe, less secure in our democracy — because now Trump knows how easy it is to wield the government against his enemies to get his way. When I saw my name on Trump's newest enemies list, the absolute last thing I was going to do was the same thing all those other cowards did: fold to Trump, get themselves out of trouble, and not think about the effect that it was having on everybody else. So if that means I have to speak out every fucking day, then that's what I'm going to do.

This bombshell dropped yesterday in Washington D.C. And if you live near a data center — or near land where one might be built — this news affects you directly.
The head of America’s top environmental watchdog agency just walked up to a microphone and told the entire country that the federal government will not protect you from data center water pollution, air pollution, or any other environmental harm.
Not now. Not ever. As long as this administration is in power.
The decision that just left 330 million Americans without a federal safety net — and handed Big Tech a blank environmental check.
🎤 THE WORDS THAT SHOCKED ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCATES NATIONWIDE
The Trump administration is not going to set nationwide environmental requirements or recommendations for the rapidly growing data center industry, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said Wednesday at the POLITICO Energy Summit in Washington D.C. 
No requirements. No recommendations. No national standards. Nothing.
Zeldin said: “Ten times out of 10, I’m not going to sit inside of an agency building in Washington D.C. and say that we know that local community in Georgia or Florida or Arizona or elsewhere better than everyone there locally.” 
Ten times out of ten. Zeldin was not vague. He was not ambiguous. He was categorical and absolute.
The EPA — the agency created specifically to protect Americans from environmental harm — just announced it will not protect Americans from one of the fastest-growing and most environmentally demanding industries in U.S. history.
🏛️ WHAT IS THE EPA SUPPOSED TO DO — AND WHY THIS DECISION IS SO ALARMING
For most Americans, the EPA is the government agency that makes sure the air you breathe and the water you drink are safe. It sets national standards — minimum floors of protection — that apply equally whether you live in Montana or Mississippi, whether your local politicians are aggressive environmental protectors or not.
That is the whole point. National standards exist precisely because not every community has the resources, the lawyers, the political will, or the technical expertise to fight billion-dollar corporations on their own.
Just 37% of Americans would support a data center being built in their area, according to a POLITICO poll earlier this year. The reasons cited by opponents are overwhelmingly environmental: water usage and air pollution are among the most common complaints. 
63% of Americans do not want a data center near them. The EPA just told those Americans: figure it out yourselves.
🤔 AND ZELDIN’S ANSWER ON WATER IN UTAH WAS EVEN MORE REVEALING
The EPA chief’s comments in Washington were not the only time this week he dodged accountability on data centers and the environment.
Just weeks ago, Zeldin appeared before hundreds of energy leaders at Utah’s Operation Gigawatt Summit in Deer Valley — where a reporter from 2News asked him directly whether data centers conflict with President Trump’s own pledge to save the Great Salt Lake, which is rapidly disappearing due to water overconsumption. Zeldin declined to give a direct answer. “I’m not coming here today to opine and place judgment like that,” he said. “I’ve had the opportunities to go across the country where they’re doing an awesome job of water reuse.” 
The Great Salt Lake is shrinking before America’s eyes. Data centers in Utah are consuming millions of gallons of water. A reporter asked the head of the EPA a direct, factual question about whether those two facts conflict with each other.
His answer: he would not say.
The man whose job is to protect America’s environment — refusing to say whether draining a disappearing lake to cool AI servers is a problem.
😤 BUT HERE IS THE PART THAT MAKES THIS DECISION EVEN MORE OUTRAGEOUS
Zeldin’s argument sounds reasonable on the surface. “Local communities know best.” “States’ rights.” “We trust people on the ground.”
It falls apart completely when you look at what is actually happening on the ground.
Communities trying to fight data centers on their own are being outgunned at every turn. They face billion-dollar corporations with armies of lobbyists and lawyers. They watch their county commissioners vote in the middle of the night without public hearings. They discover secret water wells drilled without permits. They find out their electricity bills are being raised to subsidize facilities they never voted for.
And now the federal government — the last backstop — has officially stepped aside.
This is the same EPA that in January 2026 convened a roundtable with the Data Center Coalition — an industry lobbying group — to discuss how the rapid growth of data centers can make the U.S. the AI capital of the world. The meeting was led by senior Trump EPA officials. The agency’s stated goal was explicitly to advance data center expansion — not to protect communities from it. 
The EPA — meeting with data center industry lobbyists to help them build faster. Then standing at a podium to announce it will not regulate them environmentally.
That is not cooperative federalism. That is the government choosing a side. And it did not choose yours.
⚡ AND THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN DISMANTLING ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS FOR MONTHS
Yesterday’s announcement did not come out of nowhere. It is the latest in a series of moves that have systematically removed federal environmental guardrails around the data center industry.
In February 2026, the Trump administration repealed the 2009 Endangerment Finding — the central scientific finding that has allowed the EPA to regulate climate-warming emissions for over 15 years. The move strips the agency of its most powerful legal tool to control industrial pollution. 
Making the U.S. the AI capital of the world is described as a key pillar of Zeldin’s “Powering the Great American Comeback” initiative — alongside “unleashing energy dominance.” Environmental protection of communities is not listed as a pillar. 
AI capital of the world. Energy dominance. Those are the priorities. The community in Georgia watching their well go dry. The family in North Carolina whose water pressure dropped. The Nashville Zoo worried about its tigers. Not the priorities.
🗺️ SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOUR COMMUNITY?
Here is the direct, honest answer to what Zeldin’s announcement means for every American community with a data center near it — or coming to it:
You are the last line of defense. Your city council. Your county commissioners. Your state legislature. Your petition. Your vote.
The federal government has officially left the building.
While there are technologies and practices that reduce air pollution and water usage, Zeldin said states and communities know what works best for them — leaving all environmental oversight entirely to local and state authorities. 
Some states are rising to the challenge. New York passed a moratorium. Illinois suspended tax breaks. North Carolina is debating protections for its aquifers. Utah passed a first-in-the-nation water transparency law.
But many states — particularly in the South and Midwest where the most aggressive data center buildout is happening — have no protections in place. No standards. No transparency laws. No moratoriums. And now, no federal backstop either.
Those communities — often the poorest, the least politically connected, the most rural — are now completely exposed.
🔮 THE BOTTOM LINE
Lee Zeldin stood at a podium in Washington D.C. yesterday and made a decision that will affect every American community targeted by the data center industry for the next several years.
He decided that the federal government’s role is to help Big Tech build — not to protect the people living around what gets built.
He decided that trillion-dollar corporations deserve a streamlined path to construction — and that families worried about their water, their air, and their electricity bills can take their concerns to whatever city council or state legislature will listen.
He decided, in his own words, ten times out of ten — that Washington will not stand between a data center and your community.
Now the question is: will your community stand up for itself?
Because as of yesterday — nobody in Washington D.C. is going to do it for you!

In the USA in 1943 they produced a film 'Don't be a Sucker' about fascism.
It perfectly explains Nigel Farage, Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the entire Right.
Elizabeth Warren’s proposed 3% tax on people with over $100M in wealth would generate $30B in revenue each year on Elon Musk’s fortune alone. That’s about how much the US spends each year on affordable housing subsidies.
Tax. The. Rich.

She was upset by the signs and photos showing Palestinian children from Gaza.
If you can’t tax billionaires and trillionaire because “its unrealized gains until they cash out,” then stop letting them leverage that wealth for loans, as collateral, or as equity.
If it’s not real enough to tax, it shouldn’t be real enough to leverage.
This is why we say the system is rigged in favor of the super wealthy. Abolish billionaires, tax them out of existence, protect working people.
Because he’s a pedophile! And his cabinet is full of pedophiles and there’s a bunch of grifting pedophiles working in the government at the highest levels!

Dumbfuckery happened we all knew this was the outcome glad we only blew 14 million…. Too bad I couldn’t get the contract I would’ve said hey maybe a lighter blue then pocketed 10 million

Someone get this to President Trump so we can put this Coward White Trash 🗑 in Prison where he belongs.

Oh you mean the volumes of evidence that are already available? The out of court settlements for sexually abuse of minors … the testimony of numerous women? What more do you need? Oh the fact they are breaking the law and not releasing the Epstein Trump files?
@ChampRDS Where's thus clowns proof, @POTUS is a pedophile? Maybe hes hiding something. Maybe hes a pedophile himself. Those who scream the loudest usually have something to hide. Look at @EricSwalwell
