A couple of quick issue things I'm just wondering if you're hearing about.

Look, I'm skeptical that a midterm is going to be one on like policy per se, but there are some policy areas that are popping.

First of all, there's AI.

So there's some districts – Politico had a good write-up on this the other day where fights over AI data centers are really –

There are big deals in certain communities that don't want them there or do want them there.

And then there's also just sort of like anger from the left and the right at big tech, at the tech oligarchs.

And it's like you it's the kind of thing where you could listen.

I could read you a sentence and it could be Bernie Sanders or it could be Steve Bannon.

Right.

And it's like verbatim the same language.

How much are you hearing about AI, big tech like in your groups?

I'm in.
