In stark contrast to Polis, the newest generation of Colorado leaders including @MelatKirosCO are clear-eyed about the need for AI safeguards.

[Melat Kiros for Congress, CO-1 @MelatKirosCO]

We need to regulate AI for all of the existential threats it poses to our climate, economy, and democracy, but we cannot expect the very people who got us into this mess to self-regulate their way out.

Congress needs to act now and guard against ANY corporate influence.

Jared Polis killed Colorado's landmark AI rules after an industry lobbying blitz. Polis's continued alliance with the tech industry increasingly puts him at odds with his party. https://t.co/3ZG21aMGa9

Earlier this year, United showed its willingness to crush American at O’Hare by overscheduling flights to game the gate allocation process.

This is a company willing to put thousands of travelers at risk of delays and cancellations for a bigger higher market share.

United CEO Scott Kirby is still publicly lobbying for a mega-merger with American Airlines.

If combined, the new entity would control around 40% of the domestic market, leaving flyers with fewer and worse choices. https://t.co/TunKMObesx

In June, Maryland Gov. @iamwesmoore signed legislation framed as a ban on surveillance pricing. In reality, the bill's important provisions were gutted amid industry opposition.

[Labyrinth Insights @LabyrinthPol]

NEW: Following Senate hearing on surveillance pricing, lawmakers must advance substantive legislation that avoids loopholes that would enable further corporate abuses.

As we noted in recent analysis, the United States has lagged for decades on workplace heat protections, with corporate lobbyists fighting crucial safety regulations.

The result is a workplace safety crisis that is likely to get worse as temperatures rise.

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

Working people are facing increasingly hotter temperatures, but the Trump admin and Congress are rolling back workplace heat protections.

Protecting workers means NOT exposing them to deadly extreme heat. Working people need heat safety standards NOW.
