Judge rejects Trump’s wild claim EPA can dismiss data center pollution lawsuits

What happened: A judge rejected Donald Trump's claim that the EPA can dismiss any Clean Air Act lawsuit at will, so SpaceXAI still faces an NAACP suit over alleged pollution from gas turbines at its Memphis data center. Key numbers: Penalties sought up to $124,426 per day per violation. Why it matters: The ruling keeps the injunction request and civil penalties in play, rejecting the argument that citizen suits against polluting AI firms do not serve the public interest.
