Respectfully, this is not encouraging at all. There is very little space between industry and government leaders -- why do we think it's been impossible to pass ANY tech policy on the federal level?
Big Tech is already in the room. They're already writing the laws. Sam Altman is on the Hill or in the WH every other day. Mark Zuckerberg & Jeff Bezos have houses down the street from the VP.
Dems are rightfully pivoting to campaigning against data center "developers" -- i.e. Big Tech -- and they will win back the House on a tech accountability platform.
The Big Tech CEOs who have spent the last 2.5 sucking up to Trump with bribes & acquiescence deserve to be left out in the cold.
This is an encouraging effort to bring industry and government leaders together to pass the kind of sensible AI oversight we need. It is possible to heed the warnings of so many AI researchers and address safety concerns without sacrificing the technology’s benefits. But time is running out; the federal government must act quickly.

Yesterday Gov. Newsom signed a package of youth online safety bills we're proud to have fought for, including the Kids Code 2.0, which we co-sponsored, and Adam's Law.
Big Tech lobbyists spent years trying to stop these bills. They lost; California families won.

"Big Tech companies don’t fix their products on their own – they change only when forced to by a jury, court, or legislature. California just sent a clear message to the rest of the country that our kids’ wellbeing comes before engagement metrics and Big Tech profits.” – @sachalouise

Almost 2 years ago I wrote about how Big Tech's immediate pivot to Trump would result in public backlash. This was even before the CEOs sat front row at inauguration, settled with Trump for millions, and paid for his illegal ballroom.
Big Tech has squandered the goodwill they once had. They've lost our trust.
So while Republicans ask Big Tech for help as their industry-friendly candidates drown all over the country, Democrats are realizing we need to go all in against the Big Tech companies whose data centers destroy communities and their platforms addict and harm kids.
LFG
AND the DCCC updated its redboxes, it's now asking super PACs to run negative ads or run polling on data centers in at least 11 House districts politico.com/news/2026/09/06…

TOP's @SachaLouise: "This is a historic settlement that will have a lasting impact, but we cannot truly protect all children and teens until these protections are required on every platform and are permanent – that’s something only Congress can do." techoversight.org/2026/08/26…

Congress has the ability to pass permanent design changes into law that would protect every kid on every platform. It's time pass the Senate's version of KOSA.

So @Meta gave $10m to Trump's dark money c4 and Trump helped Zuck get out of testifying by holding @ChuckGrassley's James T. Woods Act hostage
Sam Altman regularly attends Trump's fundraisers and his CEO gave $25m to Trump's superPAC as @OpenAI lobbies Rs for immunity.
The 2027 Oversight Hearings in a Democratic House are going to be lit
Lotta scoops in this story: Meta recently gave an undisclosed $10M contribution to Trump's Securing American Greatness C4. Apple gave $25M to the ballroom, Microsoft gave $10M, and much more. W/ the great @jdawsey1 @AnnieLinskey @EmilyGlazer

New @NavigatorSurvey: BIG TECH IS A BIG NO ☝️
Battleground voters have very serious concerns about Big Tech's role in American society, see tech CEOs as part of the corruption problem in DC, and overwhelmingly want their lawmakers to act.

One hot topic where that's especially true: Data centers.
Battleground voters not only oppose data centers, they also don't buy the industry's spin, particularly when it comes to jobs.

PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL:
this is a jump ball.
unsurprisingly, voters think their party is better than the other guys but if you look at the persuadable ballot .. it's anyone's game.
once again this is a MASSIVE POLITICAL OPPORTUNITY for Dems and anyone who says otherwise is likely on the take

As I and many others have said, this election, it will not do to be seen to be shoulder-to-shoulder with Big Tech companies. they're massively unpopular (driven by out-of-control, harmful products and out-of-touch MAGA-kissing CEOs).
Navigator is the latest polling to point this out

Katie Townsend, a Cedar Rapids mom whose teenage daughter died by suicide three years ago, is calling for U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley to subpoena Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg as part of holding social media companies accountable.

i've said for a while that there had to be more than just the prospect of another public lashing that made @Meta ask the WH to get Zuck out of testifying. This is our first clue: Senate Judiciary has the goods.
It's not just kids' online harms. It's China -- what Meta promised them, and what they handed over.

There's no accountability unless you go to the top.
That's why we joined @Parents_Rise in calling on
@ChuckGrassley & @SenatorDurbin
to subpoena Zuckerberg & Pichai to get them to testify in front of Congress after reports WH intervened to spare them. politico.com/live-updates/20…
