Brett Meiselas on opposition to AI data centers: "It is really the clearest and most physical representation right now of the class divide in our country, of what billionaires are doing and what billionaires want to force on the people, and what the people actually want."

Ben Meiselas: People want competent leaders who can hear what the people are experiencing — none of these con artists. Bob Brooks for Congress: That's all I think I want to do is bring common sense, working-class people's problems to Washington, DC. Because right now, we don't believe we're being thought of or cared about ... I've kind of lived the life that a lot of them are living right now.

Brett Meiselas: I really do believe that people are just so exhausted by the BS. People are so tired of waking up every single day and wondering, 'What are these people complaining about now?' I don’t need to think about your stupid culture war BS every time I do something. I just want to be able to watch the Olympics without you doing genital checks on the boxers. That’s weird. What are you doing?!?

While this Administration is spending nearly $1 billion a day on a war in the Middle East that has now claimed the lives of 7 U.S. service members and doing the bidding of billionaires—Americans are struggling to put food on the table and a roof over their heads. By contrast, House Democrats are working for the American people—representing one of the youngest and most diverse Congresses in our nation’s history. Because, that is what representation and service look like!

Meiselas: This MOU hangs in the balance, and this is what this idiot is doing at 2 a.m. You know what's going on in the rest of the world? Netanyahu is out there violating the ceasefire arrangement, continuing to blow up buildings and homes in Lebanon, claiming that he's going after Hezbollah, but continuing to kill innocent people there. By the way, continuing to kill innocent people in Gaza. And what was Donald Trump doing -- posting UFC videos.

McGovern: "Now of course you don't want anybody to know what you're doing here. It's because you know this bill betrays the people who voted for you ... you are intentionally hiding what you are doing ... that's what you guys think is big and beautiful: greed, corruption, and tax breaks for billionaires."

John: There is a lot of opposition to building in America, broadly. That's just the nature of our society. I was thinking about, what do Americans want to build? Because it's easy to look at the data center stuff and be like, "Well, everyone's against building data centers." I was reflecting on the whole reindustrialization meme this weekend. And I was thinking about the actual knock-on effects of reindustrialization — most people don't want a car factory in their town. I actually think people don't really want change. They don't want things built. Data centers are probably at the bottom of the list. They're the least popular. But people don't want stuff built, generally. There are very few things that people are like, "Yeah, I'd be down for that to be built." People like the status quo. They're happy with things as they are. And they don't like change. People block home construction all the time. Also, permitting and expansion of existing homes. I'm not saying that they're as unpopular as data centers. Data centers are at the bottom. But new housing in communities is like razor's edge. I do think there's an element of like, Americans don't want to build anything.

Warren: "Our best strategy is to make sure everybody in America knows exactly what the Republicans are trying to do, and that is they want to give literally trillions of dollars in tax cuts to millionaires, billionaires, & billionaire corporations, and they want to pay for it on the backs of seniors who are living in nursing homes."

New Gallup Poll: 71% of Americans now oppose data centers being built in their area. When the people know what is best for our communities, yet both parties continue to ignore what we want and do what their rich donors want, it means we need a new system.

Sanders: In all due respect to Congresswoman Stevens, everyone knows that this is not an election between her and Abdul El-Sayed. This is an election between Abdul and the billionaire class. That is what this election is about. A billionaire class which has already—and there are two weeks left to go in the election—already spent $50 million against him. Now, I want everybody here throughout the state, people turning on their TVs and seeing all these ads, I want you to ask yourself a simple question: Why are the richest people in the country spending tens and tens of millions of dollars to defeat Abdul El-Sayed? Why does the billionaire class feel that they need to outspend him in this election 12 to 1? Twelve to one. What are they afraid of? And the answer is obvious: They understand quite correctly that when Abdul is elected to the Senate, he will work with me and other progressives in taking on the greed of the billionaire class. That’s what the billionaires are afraid of and they should be afraid.

AI is already changing our economy. So we can’t let a handful of Big Tech billionaires make all the decisions and get all the benefits. We can start to level the playing field by taxing AI data centers and investing in people.

Pearson: I'm the only person here who actually represents constituents and is beholden to them, and they're struggling. I can tell you right now that we need 55,000 units of affordable housing for people who make $17,000 a year. People are struggling. My great aunt is deciding whether or not she's going to pay for medicine or pay for groceries. You cannot say that the economy is doing well when it is doing well for billionaires, but the consequences of the action are coming home to roost. Because you know what? Farmers have retaliated against this administration's actions. And you know, what this administration has said it’s trying to do: give billions of dollars to them. If things are going great for people, they wouldn't have to take those actions. And what Republicans have done is give more money to the rich, the most powerful and the billionaires. And they've left working class people.

But also look at what the people are doing. Look at how much corruption there is, how much fraud and waste.”

.James Talarico: The only minority destroying America is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. Muslims are 1% of the population. Undocumented people are 1% of the population. We are focused on the wrong 1%. Trans people aren't taking away our healthcare. Muslims aren't defunding our schools. Immigrants aren't cutting taxes for themselves and their rich friends. It’s the billionaires and their puppet politicians. The culture wars are a smokescreen. They want us looking left and right at our neighbors instead of looking up at them. The biggest divide in our politics is not left versus right, it’s top versus bottom.

Warnock: We can’t allow people to distract us, even with the ideological differences we have in our party. If you think about some of the most spirited debates we’re having in our party right now—and they are important, and I don’t mean to smooth over those debates—we’re arguing about how to help ordinary folks. I’d rather be having that argument and be in this party than the party that is focused on giving billionaires tax cuts. What I want to see billionaires do is spend a whole lot less on elections and a whole lot more in taxes.
