IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Monitor the site selection process, contractor awards, and any Trump business connections to the data center or gas plant developers; request FOIA documents on the decision-making process.
Why This Score
This is a standard infrastructure announcement with minimal constitutional implications beyond routine corruption concerns (potential self-dealing, site selection process opacity). The B-score is elevated due to timing alongside multiple higher-harm events this week (Underground Railroad grant cancellation, detained children, EPA rollbacks) and the tech-forward narrative providing positive counter-programming. The announcement functions more as distraction than governance harm.
