We need to unite around real AI policy that keeps American innovation thriving & safe.
China is already moving fast – we need leaders who understand the current moment.

Alex Bores was formally warned about sexually explicit comments he allegedly made at Palantir.
He quit 5 days later, but didn’t mention that part of the story.
Nor did he mention ICE.
Some jobs just don't work out, do they?
Alex Bores had plenty to say about why he left Palantir. Too bad none of it was true.
Some jobs just don't work out. It's time for Alex Bores' next exit interview.
Off the story below, we’d like to pose a question to @ezraklein and the good people on X: when is Ezra going to have the other NY-12 candidates on his podcast?

Can we please cut the BS here.
@AnthropicAI, its dark money superPAC and its billionaire investors have spent MORE than us supporting your campaign.
They have been backing you since before we even announced we would oppose you because you are a puppet for Anthropic.
At some point, the hypocrisy has to stop.
For anyone still wondering why we are opposing Alex Bores, this tweet is why.
AI oligarchs want to buy every election, not just this one. They're funding super PACs to take out anyone who might actually hold them accountable. I'm one of those people, apparently, which I'll take as a compliment.
But this isn't really about me. It's about whether regular people still get a say in who represents them.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This tweet misrepresents the timeline.
Leading the Future, of which Think Big PAC is part, announced spending against Alex Bores on November 17, 2025.
Public First was not formed until November 25, 2025 and Anthropic did not contribute to Public First until Feb 12, 2026.

The truth
youtu.be/IRUg75s8nlY
1/ Alex Bores now has THREE dark money super PACs backing his campaign.
These fringe techleaders are spending millions to get their puppet in Albany down to Washington.
See who is really backing Bores here...
4/ Alex Bores wants to do what Anthropic and their dark money groups tell him to do.

Hey @AlexBores @ACCass @bradrcarson, got anything to say about this and the millions in dark money Public First has funneled in to super PAC’s backing your campaign?
A thing I have always admired and respected about the AI safety ecosystem is how transparent it is. Even when transparency ends up causing problems, lots of orgs in this space are extra transparent just because it's the right thing to do.
That's why I think it's a shame that the Public First network of PACs are not particularly transparent — and less transparent, in fact, than their major opponent Leading the Future.
They use a 501(c)(4) "dark money" setup to hide the identity of many of their donors. By @vronirwin's count, there's $5.5m worth of donations from anonymous donors. That seems bad!
Such funding structures are totally common in political finance. But I personally wish AI safety orgs held themselves to a higher standard.
1/ ICYMI: Today, Transformer’s Veronica Irwin published a scathing exposé on Anthropic funded Public First Action’s dark money-fueled political and legislative influence machine.
See thread below:
4/ "And the effective altruism and AI safety communities from which the PACs’ disclosed donors are drawn from generally place great emphasis on transparency, radical candor, and intensive discourse.”
5/ Read the full article, AI Safety PACs Should Be More Transparent About Who’s Funding Them, here: transformernews.ai/p/ai-safe…
