(DCNF)—House Democrats introduced a resolution Wednesday calling on Congress to withhold support for artificial intelligence (AI) companies if they go bankrupt as polling shows Americans largely oppose AI development on the eve of the midterm elections
The simple House resolution states that Congress would oppose any measure that would rescue insolvent AI-related firms or shield senior executives from accountability for “reckless conduct that contributed to the failures of such firms.” Democratic Reps. Greg Casar of Texas and Maxine Waters of California introduced the resolution; a simple House resolution just expresses the sentiment of the House of Representatives and is not legally binding, meaning it does not require Senate or presidential approval.
The document states AI firms should “wind down or reorganize” through ordinary bankruptcy processes, administer resolution processes that promote competition, help workers and prioritize pension and retirement fund holders. It states that senior executives found to have taken excessive risk or acted unlawfully should “be held fully accountable under civil and criminal law.”
Technology companies are increasingly relying on outside investors, financial guarantees and complex financing arrangements to fund their data center expansion. Those arrangements could leave substantial obligations outside conventional debt disclosures, making it difficult to determine who bears the risk if anticipated AI profits fail to materialize.
S&P estimates that Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, Oracle, Meta and SpaceX will collectively spend more than $7 trillion on AI-related capital expenditures between 2025 and 2030.
The largest tech companies in the U.S. were expected to borrow a record $420 billion in 2027 to finance the AI boom on Wall Street. Debt issuance was projected to rise 60% from 2026 levels as companies pour money into data centers, chips and other AI infrastructure, Goldman Sachs data found. Investors have grown concerned about how much additional debt will hit the market as companies rush to construct the infrastructure needed to compete in AI.
Major AI chipmakers such as Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Broadcom have expressed interest in investing up to $5 billion collectively in Meta while it seeks billions to fund its expanding AI infrastructure. These investments provide an opportunity to benefit financially from the expansion of AI infrastructure, although there is potential risk involved if demand for AI infrastructure slows.
An ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll from Oct. 21 found that 57% of Americans believe AI is bad for society, while 42% viewed it favorably. Most U.S. adults, 64%, said AI is developing too quickly, according to a survey conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
