Passing this permitting bill would be deeply insulting to so many people who have spoken out against data centers. Call your Senators at 877-796-1949 and tell them to vote NO! commondreams.org/news/democr…
In addition to benefitting Big Tech and the fossil fuel industries, this permitting bill is also a gift to industrial agriculture. We need to make our opposition clear. Call your Senators at 877-796-1949. The vote is this afternoon! foodandwaterwatch.org/press/…

Hey Sen. @RonWyden, is this a NO vote? The people need a NO vote!
NEW: Sen. @RonWyden (D-Ore.) tells me he cannot support BAAJA and suggests Dems should negotiate a new permitting deal:
"I cannot support a deal that strips Oregonians and tribes of the most important tools they have to hold Trump and his cronies accountable," he said.
Thank you @Rep_Stansbury and @Rep_Grijalva for standing with people against extractive industries and opposing this permitting bill!
Today @Rep_Grijalva and I issued the following statement in opposition to the Senate Permitting Bill (BAAJA) S. 5653 and the Managers Amendment released today ⬇️
