Here's the Left of Lansing "Friday Short" for February 27, 2026.

A bipartisan group of Michigan legislators have introduced bills in Lansing that would place a moratorium on on new data center proposals in Michigan.

This is due to the working class protest movement in blue and red areas across the state. The working class is fed-up being pushed around by the Billionaire Epstein Class Tech Bros, and those within state government, for building these massive hyper-scale A.I. data centers in secrecy.

And that's led to both Democrats and Republicans to introduce bills to put a temporary halt to this data center expansion.

That's bipartisanship I can support.
