On the same day, three House Republicans and a group of senators introduced seven resolutions to strip the clean-air rules that 17 states and D.C. rely on. Two Koch-funded groups were quoted cheering in the press release.
Hull opposes a pause on new data centers and says they should be sited where 'produced water is available.' New Mexico's own scientists say that water is a toxic soup that can't be treated safely — and the state banned discharging it last year.
Tiffany told a tavern crowd he's open to splitting Wisconsin's Department of Natural Resources so hunting and fishing are separated from environmental permitting. The state's largest sportsmen's group says the real problem is license fees frozen since 2005 — and a former DNR secretary says a split gives Republicans 'one agency they can feed and one they can starve.'
Abbott appoints all 21 board members of the Nueces River Authority and can remove them. It may run out of money for its desalination plant by the end of August. He has no such power over the city council he's threatening to take over — and he's fighting to keep his emails with the river authority secret.
Abbott branded Texas the 'epicenter of AI development' and handed data centers one of the biggest tax breaks in the country. Now, in an election year, he says he's the one protecting us from them.

Hageman filed the 'Stop Climate Shakedowns Act' with Ted Cruz to stop states and cities from suing energy companies over climate damage. Her top donors are coal, oil, and gas.
A settlement in Paxton's lawsuit wiped out the dunes sagebrush lizard's endangered status. More than 95% of its habitat is already gone — and oil money is a very large part of Paxton's Senate campaign.
Chemours' PAC gave Michael Whatley $5,000 — the first time it has ever spent in a North Carolina Senate race. WUNC asked him three questions about PFAS. His campaign didn't answer an email or a text.
