Why Abdul El-Sayed isn't the least bit worried about all the attention Trump is giving him:

The federal government needs to step in to make sure this technology doesn’t cause catastrophic harm to human society. And we need programs like a federal jobs program to help with job losses tied to the rise of AI. We need a government that cares for its people.

Donald Trump on AI data centers: "I think they're going to do things for the community that will be really financially beneficial." This is who will become rich from data centers. This is who benefits.

We're standing with leaders actively campaigning on a federal data center moratorium. Leaders like Angie Nixon in Florida. Like Abdul El-Sayed and William Lawrence in Michigan. Like Justin J. Pearson in Tennessee. Because we deserve for our communities to come before profits.

The general elections are coming up fast. Republicans have money on their side, but our primary wins showed that working people are paying attention.
Excerpt from Washington Sun article in which Maurice Mitchell, national director of the Working Families Party, argues that people don't trust AI, are looking for leadership, and WFP will fill that void.

Politicians from both major parties made big promises to communities about data centers. What people actually got: higher energy bills, massive water use, and more carbon pollution. Working people made their anger clear at the ballot box, with major primary election shakeups.
Washington Sun headline. Progressives plan to capitalize on the AI backlash. The Working Families Party wants to pivot to focusing on AI as the technology becomes a defining issue.

Working class voters don’t trust AI (for good reason). In a recent survey, - 73% worry AI would lead to job losses across the US - 58% believe AI will hurt working class families in the next 5 years - 64% want the government to step in to protect workers if corporations use AI to replace workers
Democrats are missing a huge opportunity to win working-class voters. A new poll shows that these Americans are worried that AI will eliminate their jobs—and they want the government to do something about it

Whether we're up against Republicans bowing to Trump and his billionaire friends, or corporate Democrats selling out working people to please their wealthy donors... Across the country, we're electing leaders up and down the ballot to take back power for the people.
Hello there. We're the Working Families Party, a political third party organizing inside, outside, and on top of the two-party system in the United States. We take on elections from city council to U.S. Senate — wherever there's a path to win, and where winning will advance an agenda that supports everyday working people. Comment 'joinWFP' or visit the link in our bio for ways to get involved and support our movement to build a nation that works for all of us.

This is how the super rich rig the system in their favor. How we end up with with a government of billionaires, for billionaires. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
NBC headline: How Trump's tax law boosts the wealthy and leaves behind some workers he promised to help.

New York Times headline: The scale of billionaires' campaign donations is overwhelming U.S. politics.

We know billionaires don’t have it all sitting in their bank accounts. But net worth isn't just a number. They can borrow against that wealth, sell it or invest it...giving them huge amounts of money to spend on lobbying, media and political campaigns.

Meanwhile, the median American's net worth was $192,700 in 2022. 192,700 seconds ago? Just 2 days ago.
Net worth is the total value of everything you own (cash, savings, car, property) minus everything you owe (like loans and debt).

"Skilled" vs "unskilled" work is a lie. It doesn't matter what the job is, it shouldn't be possible to spend most of your waking hours working and still not make enough money to live.
