The powerful teachers union’s full-court press preceded the federal agency putting the brakes on a full re-opening of in-person classrooms, emails between top CDC, AFT and White House officials show.
The documents show a flurry of activity between CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, her top advisors and union officials — with Biden brass being looped in at the White House — in the days before the highly-anticipated Feb. 12 announcement on school-reopening guidelines.

In touting that deal, Greenidge officials said the plant’s Bitcoin operations would need to boost power usage from 19 megawatts to 85 megawatts by the end of next year. They also said the company planned to adopt the same business model at other plants in the future, eventually drawing on at least 500 MW power by 2025.
