Media Miss from the left: Paxton sues Democratic fundraising platform

Media Miss by the right: Florida pushes back on AI data center
Florida Commerce Secretary Alex Kelly is opposing a proposal for the state’s first hyperscale AI data center, calling it “fundamentally flawed.”
Kelly says the project — planned for 1,300 acres in Fort Meade — could strain the water supply, economy and infrastructure. He also claims the developer “woefully underestimated” the center’s potential water usage and misrepresented key figures.
The city’s planning commission has already unanimously approved a 20-year development agreement for the project.
