## Summary

Senator Ed Markey suggested Democrats may issue numerous subpoenas to technology executives after the party won control of both chambers of Congress. His post came in response to a call for televised trials of Big Tech leaders, and reflects his longstanding criticism of the technology industry.

Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat re-elected to a third Senate term, is the ranking member of the Senate Small Business Committee and could become its chair in January. He has backed legislation to increase accountability for artificial intelligence companies and tighter limits on data centre construction. Other Democrats, including Senator Ron Wyden and Representative Robert Garcia, also posted messages referring to subpoenas or legal preparation.
