Honestly is anyone surprised? I'm not. This is what you get when you elect a criminal who wants to be king to be President. Project 2025 told us exactly what was going to happen. And here we are.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social for Texas US Senate gets it - under his opponent Ken Paxton and Gov. Abbott, data centers are running amok in TX. Talarico has a sensible plan to regulate data centers. Texas, he is the right choice for your next senator, not the corrupt, 15 home owning Paxton.
THE REFORMERS

TALARICO'S HOLD DATA CENTERS ACCOUNTABLE PLAN 

*END BIG TECH TAX GIVEAWAYS BY REPEALING THE STATE'S DATA CENTER SALES TAX EXEMPTION
*MAKE DATA CENTERS PAY FOR THEIR OWN INFRASTRUCTURE INSTEAD OF SHIFTING GRID COSTS TO TEXAS FAMILIES
*PROTECT THE ELECTRIC GRID WITH STRONGRT STANDARDS FOR LARGE ENERGY USERS 
*REQUIRE WATER CONSERVATION INCLUDING CLOSED LOOP WATER RECYCLING SYSTEMS
*GIVE LOCAL COMMUNITIES A VOTE ON WHETHER LARGE DATA CENTERS CAN BE BUILT
*INCREASE TRANSPARENCY BY PUBLICLY DISCLOSING TAX INCENTIVES AND SUBSIDIES

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”

If you don’t pay taxes, you face consequences. That’s how our system works. But not for Trump. Trump forced his nominee for Attorney General to promise to make him immune from any tax crimes Trump may have committed.

The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.
