AI brief

A judge rejected Donald Trump's argument that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has complete control to dismiss Clean Air Act lawsuits at will. The NAACP sued xAI (now SpaceXAI) over unpermitted gas turbines at its Colossus data center in Memphis, Tennessee, seeking an injunction for best available pollution control technology and penalties up to $124,426 per day per violation, arguing the turbines risk spiking pollution in nearby predominantly Black communities.
