There's a front group white paper trying to undermine data center opposition by claiming it's all part of a Chinese plot. Here's the single page of the 42-page report that suggests CodePink is at the center of it (based on an email campaign). But data centers aren't among CP's top campaigns.
CODEPINK provides the clearest organizational
connection between the Singham-Evans orbit and
opposition to American data-center construction.
Its official resource page describes data centers
as products of war and instruments for war, states
that they enable military AI and surveillance, and
declares that projects “must be halted wherever
they are.”
[36]
Its action page invites supporters to
build a joint struggle against data centers and the
war economy.
[37]
The campaign is designed to fuse constituencies.
An April 2026 message described bringing
together concerns about ICE, affordability, war,
water, health, noise, land and environmental harm,
recruiting environmental and antiwar
organizations and using activists’ physical
proximity to projects to confront development.
[38]
This is direct evidence of movement strategy. A
participant does not need to share CODEPINK’s
anti-imperialist worldview; the campaign can
recruit through the narrower grievance most
salient in that community.
CODEPINK has also acted locally. Its Milwaukee
chapter reported disrupting a panel titled “How
Data Centers Shape America’s Security and Tech
Future” in order to oppose a $15 billion Vantage
project involving OpenAI and Oracle, then joining
allied organizations in a picket outside the event.
[39] CODEPINK Detroit described Michigan data
centers as physical infrastructure for mass
surveillance and linked the facilities to OpenAI,
Palantir, military contractors and ICE.
[46]A campaign page, listing Cut the Pentagon, Palestine, Bases off Cyprus, and Iran.

I'm just now realizing this latest McConnell photo+statement is an excuse note, like in grade school It's not proof of life for the general public like the last photo. It's his staff making an excuse for his inability to make his first scheduled physical appearance b/c of death or vegetative state
Statement from Mitch McConnell accompanying recent picture that reads: "I’m still working hard to get back to my full schedule of work in the Senate and in Kentucky, keeping up with intense physical therapy per my doctors’ orders. Unfortunately, that means I won’t be able to make it to Fancy Farm, Kentucky this Saturday."

More testosterone won’t make a better soldier or a tougher man – aggression and strength drive T levels, not the other way around
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is requiring service members to screen for low testosterone levels. Ironically, the military lifestyle itself is more likely to lower T levels.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin seen at a lectern, with a DHS logo revised to read, “U.S. Department of Terrorizing the Homeland.”
Mullin: “ It was a typical traffic stop. As soon as our ICE agents noticed a three year old child was in the back seat, the highly trained agents immediately knew that the driver was most likely a threat to public safety and needed to be murdered before he had a chance to flee the scene.”
