Gov. Wes Moore said early in his term he would work to create a "bright future" for data centers in Maryland. Since then, the politics surrounding them has shifted. He and other governors are reacting to public outrage over the projects. w/ @adampwillis.bsky.social

The U.S. Supreme Court blocked President Donald Trump’s proposed mail ballot changes for now, saying it’s too close to the election to implement new rules. Justice Kavanaugh said he may favor Trump’s plans in the future.
