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.

We cannot reckon with corruption in our government without recognizing how that corruption has seeped into our own party. We need to get money out of politics and Democrats should be leading the way by disavowing donations from corporations and special interests directly responsible for the crises we face today. We won our primary here in Denver with 13 points without taking a dime of it. If we get back to our roots of organizing the everyday people of our districts, we won’t just win, we’ll earn back their trust. Then we can finally get to the common sense work of passing wildly popular legislation like Medicare for All, a data center moratorium, and an end to our tax dollars funding genocidal wars. There’s far too much work to do for the working families of this country and they deserve leaders who are unbought and unafraid to stand up for them against the corporations and special interests that got us into this mess in the first place.
