Story by Jason Knowles, Maggie Green, February 17, 2026

"Data centers are moving in. They power everything from #StreamingServices to #ArtificialIntelligence, but critics say they are noisy and can jack up your #ElectricBills.

Now, the I-Team and ABC News are finding that more than 3,000 data centers are already operating nationwide, with at least 1,000 more planned. Some are in the #ChicagoIL area."

B.B. King, Live at the Regal, 1965 on ABC Paramount

Recorded live at the Regal Theater in Chicago in 1964, and released by ABC Paramount (in the US) in 1965. Fantastic live blues album and a must have.

It was a cold, raw day in traditionally windy Chicago on November 21, 1964, but hundreds of people found a quick way to warm up! There were the lucky ones who crowded into the Regal Theatre where an old favorite—B.B. King—generated his own brand of heat via his guitar, his band, and his great blues songs.

Supreme Court Refuses to Allow #Trump to Deploy #NationalGuard in #Chicago

President Trump ordered state-based troops to #PortlandOR.; #LosAngelesCA; #WashingtonDC; and #ChicagoIL over the objections of state and local officials.

"The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to allow President Trump to deploy hundreds of National Guard troops in the Chicago area over the objection of Illinois officials, casting doubt on the viability of similar deployments in other American cities.

"The justices’ order is preliminary, but it blocks the Trump administration for now from ordering the state-based military force to the Chicago area, where an immigration crackdown led to thousands of arrests and confrontations between residents and federal agents.

"In its temporary ruling against the administration, the court refused to grant the president broad discretion to deploy the military in U.S. cities. It represented a rare departure from recent cases, in which the conservative majority has overwhelmingly sided with Mr. Trump in preliminary tests of presidential power.

"At this stage in the litigation, the court said the Trump administration had not shown that the statute at issue 'permits the president to federalize the Guard in the exercise of inherent authority to protect federal personnel and property in Illinois.'

"Three conservative justices — Clarence Thomas, Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Neil M. Gorsuch — noted their dissents."
