Utah residents showed up to oppose more data centers. The planning commission voted to recommend expanding zoning anyway. When an activist protested, deputies slammed her to the ground and arrested her. She reportedly suffered a concussion. This is fucking outrageous! #RepublicansLoveDataCenters

WHY does Todd Blanche fight so hard to keep unredacted (and now even redacted) handwritten interview notes from the American people? Is it because they have to do with Convicted Felon Donald Trump and allegations of his sexual and physical abuse of a 13-year old girl?
