Years of drought and climate change are shrinking the Colorado River, which supplies water and electricity to 40 million people in the western United States. With the seven states that share that water deadlocked, the Trump administration is preparing to take matters into its own hands, setting off a scramble among the states to cut a side deal. POLITICO’s Annie Snider breaks down the latest in the Colorado River crisis and what comes next. Plus, Energy Secretary Chris Wright says the U.S. isn’t considering a crude oil export ban, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Democrats may eye protections for consumers as data center power costs rise.
