Tech is about to get hammered in Congress

Democrats have promised to hold tech CEOs accountable for corporate influence and investigate issues such as AI and data center guardrails after gaining control of committee gavels in the House and Senate. Top Democrats, including Rep. Greg Casar and Sen. Ed Markey, have expressed their intention to hold AI company CEOs to testify under oath and advance policies that protect consumers and the environment. This comes after a historic win for Democrats in the 2026 election, with Rep. Greg Casar citing the revolt against data centers as a key issue. Rep. Frank Pallone has pledged to advance policies that prioritize clean energy and rein in Big Tech, while Sen. Ron Wyden has threatened to issue subpoenas to tech executives.
