We strongly disagree with the Beacon Coalition’s endorsement of Rogers. We had no knowledge of these plans and are not funding this work. We have been clear since the end of the Democratic primary and said it repeatedly: we believe El-Sayed must win this race because Donald Trump cannot have another rubber stamp in the Senate. Third Way stands united behind our Senate Democratic nominees. A Democratic Senate majority is an essential check on Trump, and we are counting on El-Sayed to hand Mike Rogers his second defeat.

AI industry leaders are calling for frontier AI development to slow down and for more safety oversight, as current trajectories pose serious risks. Congress needs to start acting on this. TW’s Director of Technology Policy, Ruth Whittaker, and Deputy Director for Electricity, Francesca Hsie, have our view on the AI regulation situation at hand: 1️⃣ Lawmakers must address the larger questions about AI safety and development. Voters are demanding guardrails. 2️⃣ The bipartisan Ratepayer Protection Act is an important step in regulating AI, but not the only step. 3️⃣ Congress needs to require greater transparency around data center energy and water demands, and their effects on host communities. 4️⃣ And we need a national safety framework.
