No, they don’t get to punish and regulate themselves.
NEW: The AI industry is scrambling to repackage a $10 trillion infrastructure buildout to appease a hostile electorate, that includes:
-No more non disclosure agreements
-Money for schools and cities
-Environmental concessions
-Labor protections
-Codified obligations over voluntary frameworks
-Job training programs
The bottom line: The race is on to see whether Democrats can translate election momentum into binding restrictions or the industry tries to head off tougher rules.

Raising the minimum wage should be a top priority for Democrats in Congress as well
Half a million workers in Pennsylvania still make less than $15 an hour — you can’t live off of that in 2026.
Now, we’re finally able to change that.
The very first bill that I will sign into law with our new Democratic majority this January will be to raise our minimum wage — and make sure every Pennsylvania worker has a livable wage. It’s long overdue.

Brother Scott Houldieson changed my life. He welcomed me into a ragtag group of UAW reformers, asked me to step into a leadership role, & lit the path for us to change our union from the inside. He’s going to do the same for Indiana—I can’t wait to call him Senator Scott! 😭

I’m sorry but this is actually the biggest story of the night.
Scott is a Ford worker out of Local 551 who was instrumental in reforming the UAW, winning direct elections in the union, and electing Shawn Fain
The best working class politics story of the night

So proud of our @GoIUPAT brother @TroyJackson207 on bringing home a victory in Maine tonight. I have known Troy for years, and he’s the real deal. With Troy in the Senate and @PingreeHannah at the helm in Augusta, working people in Maine will have two fighters in their corner.
