"There are at least 17 active applications connected to data center campuses on public land, covering thousands of acres in Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, and other states... BAAJA’s permitting provisions could make those projects easier to advance and harder to stop, including limiting judges’ ability to halt construction due to environmental review."

The Kraft Group is proposing a $16B, 10-building data center "campus" in Sutton, MA. It would draw an unprecedented 900MW of power — equivalent to the output of a major power plant — and the developers have yet to provide basic details on water usage or grid capacity.

Thanks to MA's new EO 658, no state permits will be issued without local zoning approval and a community benefits agreement.

The Kraft Group and a Sutton-based packaging firm are seeking to build a sprawling data center in central Massachusetts, according to municipal records. trib.al/CwNayF3

Both polls show majority support for Medicare-for-all, even after hearing it would eliminate private health insurance. The KFF poll shows that support for M4A drops when respondents hear that it would "threaten the current Medicare program," which is deliberate political framing — M4A would expand traditional Medicare by adding dental/vision/hearing and long-term care, while eliminating the 20% coinsurance and deductibles.

The taxes claim is incomplete because it isolates the tax cost without mentioning the eliminated private cost (premiums, deductibles, copays) that the taxes replace.

The delays claim lacks context about how under the current system, patients routinely face delays due to prior authorization requirements and claim denials.

Hi @jasonvpoulos, this poll is nearly a year old, was done by a left-wing think tank, and the results contrast with other more recent data done by non-partisan parties.

It very much does not appear that voters support medicare for all if they are told the implication that if would in fact raise taxes, and certainly not if they are informed that it will cause delays in people getting some medical tests and treatments.

58% of voters still support Medicare-for-all after hearing an opp argument that it would raise taxes and give gov't too much control over health care.

Yes, Americans support the slogan. But the numbers take a dive when they learn about the specifics.

Cool to be for Medicare For All on the substantive merits - totally respect that position.

But not cool to do this poll spinning that just isn’t an honest representation of what Americans actually want.

It would be nice if the chair of @MajorityDems actually supported a public option. He hasn't advocated for it since he first ran for Congress in 2020.

We all share the goal of universal healthcare, but the few blue state senators trying to force a vote on Medicare For All are misreading the moment.

The fact is the Democrats who delivered this majority didn’t run on Medicare For All. Watch.
