Meta’s Stanton Springs Data Center is seen near the town of Social Circle in September 2025. Credit: Grant Blankenship / GPB News Clean air advocates say unchecked growth in Georgia’s data center industry could harm public health. Especially for people in metro Atlanta where air quality has worsened. More than 4% of all electricity used nationwide powers data centers, according to the Pew Research Center, and AI-optimized hyperscale data centers use servers equipped with powerful computer chips that can perform trillions of mathematical calculations per second and require two to four times as many watts to run than their traditional counterparts.

Thank you @Teamsters for walking the walk and backing our national ULP strike. THIS is what solidarity looks like ✊
🚨 MAJOR BREAKING!! 🚨
In a previously unreleased memo, Teamsters President Sean O’Brien throws the FULL WEIGHT of his union behind striking Starbucks workers.
Teamsters drivers have already refused to make hundreds of deliveries to Starbucks stores where baristas are striking.

Over the last year, you could have given into anger and despair.
Instead, you’ve organized in the largest numbers this country has ever seen to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority.
We could not be more thankful for you and everything you’re doing to defy Trump’s agenda.

The holidays bring us together, but they can also bring misinformation to the dinner table. Instead of getting pulled into arguments that go nowhere, try using the Truth Sandwich, a method developed by the Indivisible Truth Brigade.
Here is how it works:
1. Start with shared values.

We’d like to end today with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt:
We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it as not as dreadful as it appears, discovering that we have the strength to stare it down.
Just keep going. Goodnight, heroes.

Data centers are popping up nationwide—draining resources and driving up power costs. Now a 1-million square foot center is proposed in a residential area in GA-13. In Congress, I’ll push for real impact studies of these centers and make sure companies pay, not taxpayers.
