The threats from unchecked AI are real — worker displacement, corporate surveillance, invasion of privacy, environmental destruction, unmanned warfare.

Today, a tiny number of billionaires are shaping the future of AI behind closed doors. That is unacceptable. That must change.

Top VA officials testified that they don’t know how many doctors and nurses have left.

The VA is down 600+ doctors and 1,900+ nurses this year.
