Explosive warning issued about who's really pulling Trump's strings

President Donald Trump and his administration are pushing AI, and according to a recent report by The Nation, this is part of a larger and insidious phenomenon — political action committees (PACs) devoted to inserting AI everywhere in our lives.

“The AI lobby has burst onto the scene in this cycle by spending millions of dollars in primaries,” Usamah Andrabi wrote on Tuesday. “And like AIPAC [the pro-Israel lobby], it is largely doing so by using opaquely named super PACs and flooding the airwaves with ads that don’t mention AI at all.”

Andrabi proceeded to list the super PACs doing this including “AI corporations like OpenAI (Leading the Future, Think Big, and American Mission PAC), Meta (Forge the Future Project, Making Our Tomorrow, American Technology Excellence Project, Mobilizing Economic Transformation Across California), and Anthropic (Jobs and Democracy PAC and Defending Our Values PAC).” Andrabi then explained how, like super PACs before them, these organizations are donating generously to viable candidates so that they will oppose broadly popular policies that might hurt their industries.

“No matter what votes they take or tweets they post, any candidate backed by AI super PACs is complicit in Trump’s warmongering and the facilitation of US imperialism abroad,” Andrabi pointed out. “Despite media narratives praising Anthropic for standing up to the Trump administration, Trump used Anthropic’s Claude model to plan and conduct 1,000 strikes on Iran—including the elementary school bombing that killed over 100 children. Before that, Claude was used to help the Trump administration kidnap Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and conduct a military coup in the country. In the midst of all that ‘fighting with the Pentagon,’ Anthropic even dropped its flagship safety policy that it said differentiated it from companies like OpenAI.”

Andrabi added, “At home, AI corporations are trying to evade responsibility for the harm their data centers cause to communities across the country. Research clearly shows that AI data centers raise utility rates for the areas they’re in through their massive consumption of electrical power. They also use inordinate amounts of water to cool their computers, threatening access to water and raising bills, while poisoning the air with toxic pollutants.”

Because municipalities and states have successfully organized to prevent proposed data centers and impose various regulations, AI companies aim to thwart the democratic process through lobbying.

“AI is not only not going away but is doubling down on strategies that AIPAC and Crypto have spearheaded in our election,” Andrabi concluded. “So be warned: The AI PACs are here, and they are a threat to us all. The hydra has grown another head. We must organize accordingly.”

Andrabi’s warnings were echoed earlier this month by Mackenzie Arnold, Director of U.S. Policy at Law AI, who posted a spirited defense of some of these regulations earlier in March.

“Let’s be real,” posted Arnold. “Most of these state laws do not threaten our national security or our path to innovation. And trying to beat back all laws that touch ‘AI development’ seems like the wrong category, one that confuses more than it helps, and one that doesn’t really overlap with the state laws of greatest concern.”

Even one of Trump’s senatorial allies shared his concern.

“We’ve got to figure out how to do this in a way that addresses the concerns that a lot of our members have about not trampling state’s rights in the process,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) said in March. “We’re just trying to figure out how to thread that needle.”
