🚨 Another one bites the dust.
Over 100 Apex residents packed a town hall to push back against a massive data center proposal.
This small town doesn’t even have a supermarket… yet they want to drop a huge energy-hungry data center right next to homes.
Residents raised concerns about:
• an already strained power grid
• massive water usage
• wildlife disruption
• constant industrial noise
One woman organized the community… and suddenly the room was full.
Turns out when people actually show up and speak out, things change.
And here’s the thing…
Towns across the country are starting to push back on these projects.
👏 Proud of Apex. Proud of North Carolina.

AP wrote a bizarre story that claimed FDA's Beth Hoeg was a "friend" of physician Adam Urato which is a "conflict of interest. HHS has no legal definition of "friend" and COI forms don't ask you to list friends.
AP also ignores peer reviewed research

Even the robot knows that this witness lineup is likely to hurt the credibility of the prosecution. It’s legal well poisoning and will hurt future cases.

Yes, I suspect there's a reason those witnesses were approved by the defense.
Their job might be to tee up straw-men and easily disputed flawed evidence for the defense to knock down.

This dog knows how to live.
“If you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
-Winston S. Churchill
