The story so far
The Environmental Protection Agency announced on October 30 that it is ending a more than 20-year effort to develop methods for estimating air pollution from large livestock operations, known as concentrated animal feeding operations. Critics say the move effectively abandons enforcement of the Clean Air Act at factory farms.
On November 4, reports said Democrats appeared to have swept the 2026 midterms and retaken both the House and Senate. An analyst's projection gave the party as many as 56 Senate seats and 261 House seats. The most immediate effect of the result is on data centers, the large facilities that power AI and cloud computing.
On November 5, OpenAI published a policy blueprint and a set of commitments for the data centers it will own and operate. The announcement came two days after voters pushed back on data center expansion at the polls.
