I think people don't really always think about this, but AI companies are at risk of creating a massive financial bubble and have yet to prove they can make the profits to back it up.

ZACHARIA: “THIS IS A PRESIDENT AND ADMINISTRATION THAT IS LOOKING OUT FOR YOU”
And feed Trump’s longstanding obsession with Representative Omar.
Minnesota won’t stand for it.
This is their corrupt playbook: Use all the powers of the federal government to attack our leaders. Deploy an out of control, violent federal police force to invade our communities and kill and injure Minnesotans. Launch baseless and hateful attacks on the Somali community.
I’m outraged by this attack on Representative Omar. Trump and his DOJ have a bizarre obsession with tearing down Minnesota, our leaders and our communities. This latest action, even as voting has already started in Minnesota, is a transparent attempt to interfere in our elections.
Honoring your sovereignty and upholding our government-to-government relationships is central to my responsibilities as Senator, and I look forward to standing with you long into the future.
On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, I want to say Pidamayaye and Miigwech to Tribal Nations and Native communities in Minnesota and beyond for your partnership and friendship over the years.
And to rub salt in the wound, these tech companies are forcing local officials on city councils or county boards to sign NDA’s so they can’t even tell their own constituents what’s going on. No wonder Minnesotans don’t trust these guys.
Data centers epitomize the power Big Tech has over communities. People point to these buildings as proof that Big Tech plays by a different set of rules, and get pissed that data centers are built over the objections of the people who live around them (often with taxpayer $$)
You build a product that will harm people and put them out of work? Then your company has to face the consequences when that harm happens.
AI companies love to claim they’re SO special they need special treatment and can’t follow the same rules other dangerous technologies are bound by, and that’s just bullshit.
Incredibly grateful for our state and federal law enforcement partners who were able to foil this terrorist plot at the Mall of America before it could take place.
These companies were going to build most of these data centers regardless of the tax incentives, so we should question the fiscal rationale of these incentives. It also sounds ripe for corruption, considering these companies routinely donate millions to the President’s campaigns.
Reports are swirling around that tech companies are cashing in on corporate tax breaks from the Big Beautiful Bill to bankroll massive data centers. So I am requesting Congress’s official tax estimators provide a full report on just how much money Republicans shelled out to these corporations.
They spend all this time and money defending Richard Nixon but can’t prosecute the men in the Epstein Files?
They’ll probably ship our minerals to China, where Antofagasta has a sweetheart deal. Meanwhile, we likely lose some of our most precious public lands.
Even their own ridiculous AI bot understands why a copper-nickel mine doesn’t belong near the Boundary Waters
People on both sides of the aisle have good ideas and substantive, bipartisan bills to hold these companies accountable when they cause harm. President Trump is what stands in the way.
You’re telling me the guy who said “LET DATA REIGN” just poured cold water on the only bipartisan AI safety talks that seem promising?
🟡 NEW: The Senate’s bipartisan AI safety talks are at a standstill now, and there will be no committee action before the election.

Senator Klobuchar and I will work to see if there’s any support we can secure from the federal government.
