Another fun fact: when they adopted the tax credit it was projected to cost VA $2 million per year. Now it costs VA almost $2 BILLION… & significant environmental impacts. Situations like this are precisely why decisions of past General Assembly’s cannot bind the current GA.

IDGAF who the first trillionaire is. Give us the first person to end hunger and we’ll memorialize them.

Imagine trying to make me talk about data centers on a Friday afternoon and this is literally me.

Nailed the headline.

Axios should just make this a pinned tweet.

I love knowing there are 181 other sad people out there.

The fact the RGGI presentation offered no options that would make Dominion pay is absolutely wild.

I am grateful to the General Assembly leaders who have been working in good faith to pass a budget that invests in Virginia.
 
Throughout this process, I have been engaged with legislative partners. I have made my priorities clear — including raises for teachers and other public employees, funding to address rising Medicaid costs and the impacts of the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill,’ and working to make Virginia more affordable, including by investing in housing and childcare programs.
 
I have also been clear that data centers in Virginia need to pay their fair share for energy consumption. I have brought proposals to the table that would make data centers pay more for the energy they use and address environmental concerns, including their air pollution, water and energy use, and noise.
 
I am confident that General Assembly leadership will get a bill on my desk that I can sign on time. Because there is no other option — those responsible for funding our government have an obligation to deliver.

With the Ashland Mill Dam gone, species of fish are moving through parts of the South Anna River for the first time in centuries. One effort is trying to encourage alewife floaters, a freshwater mussel, to come back to the stream. #valeg #vagov virginiamercury.com/2026/06/…

Dear Virginia legislators- I know we have a budget deadline quickly coming up but I respectfully submit a last minute addition to the data center conversation. 🕷️🕸️

its gonna be a Hunter Biden summer (staying away from crack and reminding others that nobody is perfect and everyone makes mistakes)

Virginians are being asked to take short showers & not water their plants or wash their cars. Guess who isn’t cutting their water use? Data centers. As #valeg members pick up budget negotiations please include water & energy standards for Data Centers nbcwashington.app.link/QTZ2e…

RT @PanasonicDX4500: I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress e…

Feels like a great time to remind #valeg that Virginia wants data center reforms and guardrails on how these facilities impact our air and water.

Data center Uhh no thanks I’d rather date a woman!
