strong stance against Palantir\u2019s role in immigration enforcement when he worked there informs his current regulatory efforts against the AI industry.<\/li>\n<li>The PAC plans to monitor and oppose Leading the Future, a group funded by AI industry insiders, and aims to make public their spending and agendas.<\/li>\n<li>Early voting for the NY-12 primary has started with Election Day on June 23, and the PAC intends to announce further support for other candidates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tech Industry Defector in NY-12 Gets Boost From New Super PAC https:\/\/prospect.org\/2026\/06\/19\/tech-industry-ny-12-artificial-intelligence-super-pac-alex-bores\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-19&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":233987,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/prospect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Wimbish-NY-Bores-061926.jpg?fit=2000%2C1333&ssl=1","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-233986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233986"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233986"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233986\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":233988,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233986\/revisions\/233988"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/233987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=233986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=233986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
