AIPAC supported 109 insurrectionist Republicans in the 2022 midterms.
A group that bankrolls election deniers doesn't care about democracy, yet Jared Moskowitz gladly takes AIPAC money while serving on the House January 6 Subcommittee.
That should trouble every voter in FL-25.
A software engineer was granted a religious exemption from using AI at work. Legal experts say others may follow now that the Pope has raised concerns about the tech's impact on humanity. https://t.co/Cn2BvGc4xc
Worth noting that while AOC is the highest fundraiser, she has never taken dollar of lobbyist or corporate PAC money.
Our average donation is just $16 this cycle.
.@rweingarten and @FlyingWithSara released the following statement:
“Our response to the Great American AI Act is simple: Hard no. This bill is a giveaway to the AI industry and a handful of trillion-dollar companies, at the expense of American workers." https://t.co/VmqhsEf1sO
🚨 Hearing Obernolte-Trahan AI preemption text circulating in advance of public release at 11am.
- Preempts all state laws touching AI development. States retain the ability to regulate AI deployment. This is the a16z proposal, to the letter, which civil society (labor, civil rights, kids safety, AI safety advocates) have opposed all along. It's the industry wish-list.
- 3 year sunset
- Rehash of much of Obernolte/Lieu bill (to bury the controversial preemption provisions in 300 pages of uncontroversial text)
Game on.
Congratulations, @SamForstag, on your MT-1 primary win! Sam is a true champion for working people. He's fought for others as a smokejumper and federal sector union leader. Winning his primary is the first step — let’s get Sam to Congress!
We did it, Montana.
I couldn’t have done it without each of you who gave your time, talked to neighbors, and pitched in. What we built belongs to all of us. This is about the fight for working Montanans and now we take it on to November.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
The beautiful game belongs to everyone. And everyone belongs here. https://t.co/jolPZhoQ2l is partnering on this passport initiative so every New Yorker can show up, cheer loud, and live free from fear.

John & Linda have been showing up for this movement since that snowy night in Farmington. They voted for Trump in 2016 & quickly realized they were duped. They support this campaign because we're offering something different & real. Join us - let's get working candidates to DC.
Dear @ScottPelley, More Perfect Union is an Emmy award-winning journalism organization focused on holding the wealthy and powerful accountable. You could always work with us - consider it an open invite.
NEWS: An AI advocacy org is launching an ad campaign this week in Rep. Lori Trahan’s district, slamming her recent efforts to negotiate bipartisan AI legislation.
“AI oligarchs want to roll back civil rights… And Rep. Lori Trahan is taking their side.”

Starting today the June bid period, GoJet AFA Flight Attendants will now earn pay for boarding passengers. GoJet Flight Attendants are the first regional Flight Attendants to implement contractual boarding pay.
Spirit AFA members putting a face on the more than 17,000 workers who lost their jobs and healthcare overnight. Today was a bankruptcy court hearing. There are still benefits to be paid out to workers and the Court should put the people of Spirit first! 🐝💛🖤✊#foreverspirit
In addition to building 200,000, the Zohran administration also plans to preserve and stabilize an additional 200,000 homes, bring the total of new rent stabilized units to 400,000 within 10 years.

One of the biggest union organising victories in the last century! 👏
Congrats to the App Drivers Union on winning a landmark victory for platform workers in Massachusetts - the first rideshare unionisation in the USA.
It's time for rights!
Yesterday, I talked with voters & small business owners at the Prior Lake Farmers Market. Minnesota family farms & small businesses are being crushed by rising costs fueled by Trump’s war in Iran & reckless tariffs. We need leaders who will fight for working people in Congress.
On our way to Bangor, Maine for a rally with @grahamformaine.
The crises facing our country are too serious for establishment politics and tinkering around the edges.
We need candidates like Graham who will take on the greed of the oligarchs and deliver for working families.
