Common Dreams reports that protesters plan to gather outside Sen. Chuck Schumer's Brooklyn home Friday, demanding he block the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act—a permitting bill they call the "dirty data center deal"—before Monday's procedural vote that will require Democratic support. More than 160 groups urged Congress to reject the bill, warning it would gut environmental protections and fast-track AI data centers, while reports cite Schumer's lack of a public position and lead Democratic sponsor Sheldon Whitehouse's data center and AI investments, and note that voters in 10 states backed anti-data-center initiatives.
