Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Advocates for Environmental Justice in Data Center Policy

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is emphasizing the necessity of incorporating environmental justice into data center policy. Speaking at the 'Powering Justice: Data Centers and Building a Just Digital Future' panel in New York, organized by the NAACP Center for Environmental and Climate Justice and the Natural Resources Defense Council, Mayor Johnson highlighted that data centers have disproportionately targeted communities already burdened by environmental injustice. He stated that economic development and technological advancements should enhance human existence, not replace it.

Vice President Vance Campaigns for Michael Whatley, Criticizing Governor Cooper's Record in North Carolina

Vice President JD Vance visited Greensboro, North Carolina, to campaign for Republican Senate candidate Michael Whatley. During a rally at the Koury Convention Center, Vance criticized Governor Roy Cooper's record, particularly focusing on his vetoes of key legislation. Vance accused Cooper of prioritizing "left-wing activists" and highlighted his vetoes of voter ID legislation, a bill to remove non-citizens from voter rolls, the Parents' Bill of Rights (SB 49), the Fairness in Women's Sports Act (HB 574), and HB 808, which banned gender-transition surgeries and puberty blockers for minors. Vance also linked Cooper's policies to a 2021 COVID prison settlement, claiming it led to the release of inmates who later committed crimes, including the August 2025 killing of a Ukrainian refugee. Vance emphasized the importance of public safety and parental rights, urging voters to support Whatley.

Midwest Faces Elevated Flash Flood Threat as Stalled Front Brings Heavy Rainfall

Midwest Faces Elevated Flash Flood Threat as Stalled Front Brings Heavy Rainfall

The Midwest region, including areas from eastern Iowa to northern Illinois, northern Indiana, and western Ohio, is under an elevated threat of flash flooding due to persistent heavy rainfall. A frontal boundary has stalled across the central U.S., leading to multiple days of rain and storms. This weather pattern is influenced by a heat dome positioned in the Southeast, which causes approaching fronts to slow down and release significant precipitation over the same areas in the Midwest. Cities such as Milwaukee, Chicago, Indianapolis, and Columbus are particularly vulnerable to local flash flooding. These areas have already experienced flooding rain in the preceding week, and the saturated ground increases the likelihood of further flooding with additional rainfall.
