Sabotage: Schumer blocks popular AI bill, looking to boost Democrats’ midterm prospects

Hosts argue Democrats are blocking popular bipartisan energy/data-center legislation purely to deny Republicans a pre-midterm political win.

• Data center bill blocked: Sen. John Husted's ratepayer-protection bill passed the House 417-3, but Schumer and Senate Democrats blocked unanimous consent, calling it a "fraud"; a Wednesday floor vote is expected.
• Schumer's 2008 precedent cited: Hosts recall Schumer running ads against Republicans who backed the 2008 financial-crisis bailout just 48 hours after urging bipartisan restraint.
