Corporations: If you raise the minimum wage, we’ll have to raise prices! If we let our workers unionize, we’ll have to raise prices! If you tax us, we’ll have to raise prices! Also Corporations: (continues to raise prices without any of those things happening)

Trump is using his position to threaten, silence, and intimidate his opponents. He has repeatedly attacked Somali Americans and Minnesotans. And it's no coincidence that this raid comes 3 weeks before an election. This is an incredible abuse of the power we give to presidents.

Abdul El-Sayed summed up his debate with Mike Rogers perfectly. "I told you what this debate was gonna be: him pointing at me and saying all kinds of foreign names or talking about himself. I'm interested in YOU."

Trump voters are looking my way because I'm not bought off. I want money out of politics, money in your pocket, and Medicare for All.

The war in Iran is the reason gas is $5 and diesel is $7. Mike Rogers has been cheerleading the war since the beginning, calling it a win, win, win. I don't know about you, but when I fill up my tank I don't feel like I'm winning.

His opponent voted to cut Medicaid, despite their district having the highest Medicaid enrollment rate in the country. Randy Villegas: No one should be driving to Tijuana for cheaper healthcare.

"There's no reason that our tax dollars should be spent bombing schools and communities abroad when those tax dollars should be spent building schools and communities right here at home," - Randy Villegas, candidate for Congress in California.

Randy Villegas in California should really get more attention. "Unlike my opponent, I don't don't bend the knee to any party, any president, any special interest, because the only people I wanna be accountable are people like you watching here at home "

Michigan congressional candidate Will Lawrence's stark words on AI: "They're saying if this goes well, it's gonna put 20 million people out of work... But if it goes poorly, we might kill everybody by accident."

Donald Trump on AI data centers: "I think they're going to do things for the community that will be really financially beneficial." This is who will become rich from data centers. This is who benefits.

The federal government needs to step in to make sure this technology doesn’t cause catastrophic harm to human society. And we need programs like a federal jobs program to help with job losses tied to the rise of AI. We need a government that cares for its people.

We're standing with leaders actively campaigning on a federal data center moratorium. Leaders like Angie Nixon in Florida. Like Abdul El-Sayed and William Lawrence in Michigan. Like Justin J. Pearson in Tennessee. Because we deserve for our communities to come before profits.

Working class voters don’t trust AI (for good reason). In a recent survey, - 73% worry AI would lead to job losses across the US - 58% believe AI will hurt working class families in the next 5 years - 64% want the government to step in to protect workers if corporations use AI to replace workers

Politicians from both major parties made big promises to communities about data centers. What people actually got: higher energy bills, massive water use, and more carbon pollution. Working people made their anger clear at the ballot box, with major primary election shakeups.
