It’s not often that voters across the political spectrum find common ground, but data centers may be the exception. These massive facilities strain water supplies, drive up utility rates, create noise and environmental damage, and can remake a rural community overnight. Yet Donald Trump has made himself their biggest champion. What happens when the interests of Big Tech collide with the interests of the people who have to live with the consequences? https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/data-centers-trump-tech

Maine Democrats lost their Senate nominee just weeks ago. Today they have a candidate who may be stronger than the one they lost. Troy Jackson is a fifth generation logger from a town of 200 people, unpolished, authentic, and unapologetically working class. Can he be the one to finally take down Susan Collins? https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/troy-jackson-sanders-populist-collins

Mamdani has been making the case that his brand of politics is a model for the Democratic Party. The UK just handed the keys to a man making the exact same case for his entire country. Two leaders, two continents, one shared belief: that the working class deserves better than what they have been given. Will their message activate voters? https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/burnham-uk-manchesterism-mamdani-populism

Last week on The View, Joy Behar asked JD Vance if he is Trump's interpreter or his vice president. It is a fair question, since Vance's entire function often seems to be sane-washer in chief, seeking to normalize the bonkers things Trump says and does. The question remains: as Vance soft-launches a potential 2028 presidential bid, will this help Vance or hurt him? https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/vance-2028-trump-devil-bargain

After the 2024 election, support for trans rights was widely viewed as a political liability for Democrats. But in several states across the country, Democrats who are standing firm against anti-trans legislation haven’t seen the backlash many expected — and may even be strengthening their standing with voters.
