John,
This Cyber Monday, let’s talk about how much money Big Tech is planning to spend in the 2026 elections through Super PACs dedicated to crypto, AI, and their own bottom lines.
Big Tech, especially the cryptocurrency or crypto industry, has always just been Wall Street with a new name. Plagued by corporate greed and corruption, they’re willing to spend as much money as possible to avoid being regulated and held accountable by Congress, so they can maximize profits at our expense.
Last cycle, the crypto lobby alone was one of the largest spenders, making up HALF of all corporate political donations. This cycle, it’s only getting worse.
In a recent piece by Issue One, they warn, “Nearly one year before the 2026 midterm elections, Big Tech’s influence machine shows no signs of slowing or shrinking. The industry’s largest players are growing their war chests, fine-tuning their political tools, and finding new ways to protect their industries in Washington.”
In the first nine months of 2025, “seven of the largest tech, artificial intelligence (AI), and social media companies spent a combined $50 million on federal lobbying — an average of nearly $400,000 for every day that Congress has been in session.”
And new Super PACS like Meta California PAC and Leading the Future PAC just launched this cycle on behalf of Big Tech billionaires like Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and AI investor Andreessen Horowitz.
Big Tech is pooling hundreds of millions of dollars to buy our elections and ensure candidates backed by Justice Democrats — who will actually hold these greedy billionaires accountable — don’t get elected.
This Cyber Monday, we can show the Sam Altmans and Mark Zuckerbergs of Silicon Valley that their billions can’t buy us. Help us defeat Big Tech with progressive, working-class candidates who will fight back against them in Congress — not take their checks and greenlight their exploitation of American workers, consumers, and our environment.
Pitch in $5 or whatever you can afford today to take on Big Tech with our 2026 slate →
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
