The same day Alex Pretti was murdered, Attorney General Pam Bondi asked Tim Walz to agree to some “common sense solutions.” One of those “solutions” would have been turning over the state’s voter rolls. From @gurleygg.bsky.social: trib.al/17AWqLQ

Utah's packing its court. Virginia posted new maps in defiance of a judicial order. Maryland's Senate is resisting a redraw while the House embraces it. Trump's gerrymandering demand will be largely a wash but it has opened a Pandora's box, @gurleygg.bsky.social writes. prospect.org/2026/02/10/r...

New York’s congestion pricing plan to reduce car traffic in the city has been a rousing success. @gurleygg.bsky.social reports on benefits ranging from reduced pollution to billions in funding for the MTA: trib.al/Qb6hCR6

At every level, New York's congestion pricing scheme was a victory, as @gurleygg.bsky.social documents. Tourism up, spending up, traffic down, revenue up, transit use up, transit construction up, and on and on. prospect.org/2026/01/20/n...

Looking back on the rise of AI in 2025, senior editor @gurleygg.bsky.social reflects that “the regulatory fight over data center siting has only just begun.” trib.al/Gh82LkF

Looking back on Trump’s treatment of Canada this year, senior editor @gurleygg.bsky.social has reported on how Canadian leaders “sought out new markets and alliances, while everyday people have hit back with their own cleverly designed and executed boycotts.” trib.al/pT2gja8

One of the more interesting storylines as we close this year is the rising anger with data center development. @gurleygg.bsky.social runs down the calls for moratoria, multiple incidents of local rejections, and the impact it's already having on data center financing: prospect.org/2025/12/22/d...

Big AI companies are moving forward with building massive data centers all across America while calls for moratoriums are growing louder. A local rejection of data centers should have Big Tech worried. From @gurleygg.bsky.social‬: trib.al/v6OSgWA

Half of Floridians are considering leaving the state due to rising costs, which include a $7 billion electricity rate hike. The new rate schedule will cost residents $1 billion, while data centers save 50 percent on their bills. From @gurleygg.bsky.social: trib.al/GaSXqX8

Last week, Florida was hit with the largest electricity rate hike in the state's history, a $7 billion increase. The vote to approve the increase was unanimous and much of it will go to shareholder profits. @gurleygg.bsky.social reports: prospect.org/2025/12/02/f...

Florida Power and Light hit its customers with a historic $7 billion rate hike fueled by data centers, and the resulting outrage may likely leak into the 2026 midterm election. @gurleygg.bsky.social reports: trib.al/8AcZg9z

The latest in our series on drivers of the affordability crisis: climate change. Too often we neglect how weather patterns affect crop yields, how hurricanes and floods raise the cost of everything from food to water, how colony collapse makes things more expensive. @gurleygg.bsky.social reports.

Fair, but this argues against a presidential nominee from California

Even for those living outside of the immediate danger zones for climate change, a warming globe ravages crop cycles and water accessibility, meaning everyone pays a price for it at the grocery store. @gurleygg.bsky.social reports: trib.al/1cNybF5

Climate change means disease and natural disasters, but it also means food and water are getting more expensive. Farmers are losing crops from cocoa to rice making groceries increasingly unaffordable. From @gurleygg.bsky.social: trib.al/13cYtLf
