I stood with local and state elected officials to say that we cannot approve any more AI data centers until we have federal guardrails to protect local communities like Saline Township from being run over by the likes of DTE, Oracle, and OpenAI.

Watching Haley Stevens lean hard into “I’ve beaten MAGA four times” while the room barely reacts is peak 2026 campaign energy.

To the young Michigan people, Do not rely on your parents or grandparents to make a change. Go out and vote! Don’t listen to the paid bots and paid influencers. America is watching and counting on you. Do the right thing.

Lies. It was Michigan democrat selected MSPC officials who green lit this after Democratic governor pushed for Data centers, with the help of Democratic SOS’s husband! State Democrats created this mess!!!

The lesser of two evils isn’t to not allow data centers. Your only plan here is fear mongering and guaranteeing Americans falling to the Chinese by hindering progress. Nobody should vote for any politician who sees progress as an issue. Especially not one who comes from a family who hates our country.

We campaigned in Lowell today to stand with local residents fighting the data center their township officials are trying to force on them. Maybe we should march with pitchforks and overthrow the local government like the good old days!

This is outrageous. A small town in Michigan did everything right to stop OpenAI & Oracle from building a $16 billion data center in their town. The people of Saline Township flooded their council meeting, put up signs all over town, and convinced their officials to reject it. The officials voted against the data center 4-1, and that should have been the end. But two days later the developers sued, and the town couldn’t afford to fight back in court. We are not a free nation when billion-dollar corporations can take over the land of our communities and towns. We are a captive nation ruled by corporations and billionaires.

WOW: Congress almost gave AI data centers total immunity from local and state environmental lawsuits last year. But Thomas Massie and MTG blocked it. Massie: “Twice, I have seen and stopped special provisions from being inserted into US law to help data centers over all other types of businesses.” “In the Big Beautiful Bill, Marjorie Taylor Greene and I noticed that there were a couple pages that would give immunity for these data centers from… all state law, but also went down to the local level, including planning and zoning.” This proposal would have given AI data centers “immunity from environmental lawsuits.” “We fought and got that taken out of the bill.” “This is un-American.” Thomas Massie Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 Tucker Carlson

Right now you have all these states that are basically expediting data centers in local communities like Plymouth, PA that have no say. They should have the right to say no and there should be no data centers in residential communities or in farmland”

We have been working around the clock to prepare for Hurricane Milton and to ensure that federal, state, and local resources are being coordinated in an efficient and effective way. We urge you to take this storm seriously. Please listen to your local officials, and if you are told to evacuate, please do so immediately. Do not wait until it is too late. Already, we have sent more than 1,000 federal personnel to be on the ground in Florida to assist with preparation for this hurricane, and we will continue to scale up those efforts. We will continue to do everything we can to protect the people who are in the path of this storm. Once the storm has passed, we will be there to help folks recover and rebuild as we are continuing to do for the communities in Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, and across the southeast who have been devastated by Hurricane Helene.

Are Data Centers Worth the Noise to Local Communities? "Multiple cities of people have filed lawsuits and complaints against these data centers because of the noise." "The first question I ask myself is, are we gonna need data centers in America? Yes, if we wanna compete in the modern world, in the modern economy, we are going to need them. They are good for society and good for the economy."

State officials are already preparing for when President Trump shuts down the Department of Education. Oklahoma's superintendent sent a memo to parents, giving them a heads-up and explaining why it's important. “For decades, the U.S. Department of Education has unjustifiably expanded the federal government’s power over American education, and that overreach has squeezed local communities and parents out of control of their own schools. Thanks to President Trump, we are going to reverse that trend. By eliminating the federal bureaucracy, money can be efficiently directed to local schools and allow disenfranchised parents to have more direct say over education in their states and communities. Working with President Trump, I will do everything I can to limit the federal overreach into education and return parents their rightful authority over our schools.” - Ryan Walters Superintendent Parody Renaissance is here...

🚨Byron Donalds says Floridians should EMBRACE data centers. “You're going to have data centers. We need to embrace that, not run away from that. We have actual land in our state that is still pristine, available to use. We can build up that stuff. I would rather build a data center in one of these deals or probably FOUR data centers.”

Speaking at the G20 Ministerial this week with Director Michael Kratsios, I made two points with respect to AI data centers. First, when done right, data centers lower electricity costs and bring significant economic benefits to local communities. Second, the choice remains with the communities themselves. In Executive Order 14365, President Trump established a national framework for AI but explicitly carved out data center infrastructure as a state and local decision. Despite some fake news to the contrary, the federal government is not preempting the states on this front. Under President Trump, this remains a matter for local communities to decide — and as the President noted this week, those that choose to embrace them will see lower taxes, new jobs, and historic growth.
