NEW: We brought @AOC to deep red Georgia to talk data centers. We found a data center rebellion, with people willing to radically shift their politics. One conservative voter said: "If there's a chance that anything can be done, I feel like she's gonna be the one to do it."

NEW: Big Tech claims AI data centers don’t use much water. But data centers typically report the water used inside the facilities — we found them indirectly consuming 10x that amount. We went to the drought-stricken West, where farmers now have to fight AI oligarchs for water.

BREAKING: The House has just passed a landmark housing bill. This bill would limit would limit the institutional ownership of housing, meaning corporate landlords or hedge funds or other large for-profit entities would be able to own no more than 350 homes. The legislation also has dozens of other provisions, which include: - Removing some regulatory barriers and streamline environmental reviews to increase development of affordable housing. - Updating requirements to expand manufactured housing production. - Creating an innovation fund for communities to build more housing supply. - Establishing better community banking and loan options. - Supporting housing opportunities for veterans. - Permanently authorizing a major disaster recovery program. The bill has already passed the Senate, and now heads to Trump's desk. He's expected to sign it.

UPDATE: Last month we reported on cuts to Social Security and the impacts of an office closure in Decorah, Iowa. Following our report, that office has now reopened. And SSA has posted several job openings at other small, rural offices that were in danger of closing.

.@AOC went viral for showing dirty water from a well next to a Meta data center build. The water is from Beverly and Jeff Morris, who live 400 yards from the construction site. AOC joined More Perfect Union to meet with the Morrises in Morgan County, GA last week.

BREAKING: @AOC just got an EPA administrator to commit to investigate water quality around data center builds. Last week, AOC joined More Perfect Union on a trip to Morgan County, Georgia, where she met with residents living near a site that will host a massive Meta data center. Residents haven't had clean well water since the construction project began.

EXCLUSIVE: @AOC calls for a congressional investigation into the impact of data centers. We took her to meet residents in a Trump +50 county in Georgia whose well water was polluted by Meta’s massive data center. “That absolutely merits...national congressional investigation."

Kevin O'Leary's massive data center was approved by a county commission in Utah last night. At 40,000 acres, it would be 2.5x the size of Manhattan. The commission approved the proposal despite opposition from hundreds of locals.

NEW: Corpus Christi, Texas could be the first American city to run out of water. Working people face drought restrictions, but oil and gas companies guzzle water — and pay less than everyone else. Six huge corporate water users consume 3x as much as everyone in town.
