if you’re in line to hate AI, STAY IN LINE!
There have already been 25 data center cancellations or postponements this month, according to @macroedgeres.bsky.social.
That's nearly as many as the previous 6 months combined.

Rare good news about Dems not only doing their fucking jobs, but standing up for trans rights. More of this please, elected Dems.
1. In a major victory, Democrats have managed to get all anti-trans riders stripped from the final appropriations bills.
This includes HHS and Ed, which had the worst provisions in congressional history.
If it passes, it will be a big win for 2026.
