There's a "wall of fear-mongering and doomerism" in the AI world right now.

"Worrying about AI today is like worrying about overpopulation on Mars."

Concerns that AI could pose a threat to humanity is "preposterously ridiculous."

Claiming AI poses an existential threat is "such an extreme" and risks "wip[ing] out some of its potential benefits."

"I'm more concerned about... the risks that are here and now [than the existential threat of AI]."

Current AI is "not anywhere close" to posing an existential threat but it could in the future.

AI is the "biggest existential threat" to humanity.

AGI's worst-case scenario would be "lights-out for all of us."

Powerful AI systems "taking control" pose an "existential threat."

AI has a "10 to 25 per cent" chance of destroying humanity.

"The most likely result of building a superhumanly smart AI... is that literally everyone on Earth will die."

"I’m very, very bullish about the midterms. I know that we are going to win because we have a great record to run on"

"[MAGA voters] will need to show up at the ballot box; President Trump and Republicans are going to make that happen.”

"If this story is properly told, we should win the Midterm Elections in RECORD NUMBERS."

"[Trump voters] won’t turn out to vote for a typical congressman in a midterm when Trump isn’t running."

“If we [GOP] are where we are today in the beginning of the second quarter [of 2026], then I think we’re in for a really rough time in November.”

“If we fail to pass legislation that permanently secures the border, addresses the affordability crisis, improves healthcare, and restores law and order, we [GOP] will lose this majority.”

“Our best shot was the first 6-9 months. And when Republicans likely lose the midterms it will become total and complete political war and gridlock once again.”

"I think we will win them back, probably all of them, maybe more, in this election, and Hakeem Jeffries will be the speaker of the House."

"Next [2026] year when we will take back control of the House of Representatives."

“He’s going to definitely deal with a Democratic House. I think it’s more likely that he’ll be dealing with a Democratic Senate.”

Will the Republicans Lose Control of Either Houses of Congress in the 2026 US Midterm Elections?

"The 'AI job loss' narratives are all fake. AI = massive ramp in productivity = massive ramp in demand = massive jobs boom."

"The timeline for firms to adopt AI on a wide scale is around 10 years, and 6-7% of workers will be displaced during that transition period."

"Five years from now—or perhaps further in the future—10% to 15% of [white collar] jobs in the US could be eliminated."

"AI poses a risk of eliminating 10-20% of entry-level white-collar jobs within the next one to five years."

"Starting in about 2030 — four years away — 80% of all jobs, so two-thirds of all jobs, will be capable of being done by an AI."

"Most of those [white-collar] tasks will be fully automated by an AI within the next 12 to 18 months."

"And as a result, it could displace ~30% of [white colloar] jobs before 2030."

"AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs — and spike unemployment to 10-20% in the next one to five years."

"AI will replace literally half of all white-collar workers in the U.S, AI is making its mark on the U.S. workforce. "

"In two years, I predict 60% of all of today’s office [white collar] jobs will be replaced by AI. In four years, 90% will be replaced by AI."

Will AI replace more than 25% of white-collar jobs in the US before 2030?

More than 170 current and former Democratic campaign staff members and organizers signed a letter shared Friday urging party leaders to refuse donations and endorsements from the pro-artificial intelligence super PAC Leading the Future and its affiliate, Think Big PAC.

More than 170 current and former Democratic campaign staff members and organizers signed a letter shared Friday urging party leaders to refuse donations and endorsements from the pro-artificial intelligence super PAC Leading the Future and its affiliate, Think Big PAC.

The letter argues that AI "poses extreme risks to the public" and requires clear guardrails, contending that accepting money from Big Tech super PACs conflicts with Democratic values of restraining corporate power and ensuring accountability.

Leading the Future (LTF) has raised at least $140 million for the 2026 cycle from backers including OpenAI's Greg Brockman, venture firm Andreessen Horowitz and Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale. The group says it wants a national AI regulatory framework.

The letter followed a pledge announced earlier in the week by about 10 Democratic congressional candidates, organized by the group QuitGPT, whose signers include Rep. Greg Casar of Texas, Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts and New York House candidate Brad Lander.

Democratic Reps. Lori Trahan and Jay Obernolte, a California Republican, released a draft AI bill Thursday that would create a federal oversight agency and bar states from regulating AI development beyond federal requirements for three years.

A party that claims to fight corporate greed can't cash checks from MAGA billionaires whose whole mission is killing AI guardrails. This tech is already stealing creators' work, hooking kids on chatbots that push self-harm and flooding elections with fakes. Voters overwhelmingly want real safeguards, so taking Silicon Valley's money is both a betrayal of Democratic values and terrible politics.

Refusing to engage means handing the rules of the future to countries that don't share American values. Leading the Future backs Democrats and Republicans alike, pushes federal child-safety standards, frontier model safety rules and workforce training, and supported New York's final RAISE Act and California's SB 53. A middle-ground approach of optimistic realism where innovation and safeguards advance together is both practical and possible.

Democrats cannot let AI become the next Silicon Valley culture war when voters are struggling with the cost of living. Making AI safeguards too big a campaign priority could expose vulnerable candidates to costly attacks from pro-AI groups without giving them a top-tier issue with voters. Keep guardrails on the agenda, but focus the campaign on what voters feel every day: high prices, affordability and economic security.

Refusing to engage with AI means handing the rules of the future to countries that do not share American values. Leading the Future backs Democrats and Republicans alike, supports child-safety standards, frontier oversight without crushing startups, AI literacy, worker training and computing infrastructure that protects ratepayers. A middle-ground approach advancing innovation and safeguards is possible through optimistic realism.
