On Constitution Day, Help Us Make "We the People" Mean All of US
On Constitution Day, we are often invited to celebrate the document signed in Philadelphia in 1787.
But democracy requires us to ask harder questions:
Who counted as “We the People” then? Who holds power now? And what will it take to make that promise real for everyone?
Remember the lives lost—and examine the powers built in their aftermath.

BlackRock, Big Tech and the Corporate Capture of the Grid

Yet this essential public service is increasingly being reshaped around the demands of Wall Street investors and some of the world’s most powerful technology corporations—at the very moment the climate crisis requires a rapid transition away from fossil fuels. This is not merely a story about artificial intelligence consuming enormous quantities of electricity. It is a story about corporate rule: who owns essential infrastructure, who influences the rules governing it, who receives the benefits and who is forced to absorb the costs. |

The New Political Kingmakers: AI, Crypto and Gambling Corporations
The New Political Kingmakers: AI, Crypto and Gambling CorporationsCorporations are pouring millions into the 2026 elections to influence the lawmakers who will A new class of political kingmakers is emerging in the 2026 elections—and they are not voters. Artificial-intelligence, cryptocurrency and online-gambling corporations have poured approximately $344 million into efforts to influence the 2026 federal elections. Overall, corporations contributed a record $646 million to Super PACs and other political committees during the 18 months ending in June 2026—already 40 percent more than the $461 million disclosed during the entire 2024 election cycle.

|
The Trump regime is paying German energy giant RWE $1.22 billion not to build offshore wind farms. It is the fifth such deal this year, pushing the public cost of dismantling clean-power projects toward $4 billion. This is not an isolated decision. The administration has attacked pollution limits for power plants, sought exemptions allowing industrial facilities to release more toxic chemicals, weakened methane controls, and moved to erase the scientific foundation for regulating greenhouse gases. Trump officials proudly call this the largest deregulatory campaign in American history. |
