Creators deserve more security & less rent-seeking from platforms in the relationships they develop with their fans. I believe a new and better version of social media is possible, where creators like the Cooneys can build with confidence and connect with community.

Creators, meanwhile, are subject to capricious algorithms and audience lock-ups. They are intermediated by corporations that extract, rather than build.
When you're scrolling, you're not the customer, you're the product. This attention-fracking has made us angrier, lonelier, and sadder.
I believe that both users and creators have been poorly served by Web 2.0. Users have been monetized by corporations, both Chinese and American, for the benefit of advertisers.
Coincidence or corruption? At the same time as Trump is entering the Oval Office, he is inviting corporate & foreign interests to secretly send him money.

There is bipartisan support in Congress to divest TikTok.
There is bipartisan support in Congress to pierce Section 230 & hold social media corporations accountable.
Plow through the tech lobby and reclaim the digital town square for Americans.

Never want to hear the GOP claim to Back the Blue again.

While the president is working to divest TikTok, Congress should pass my law to revamp Section 230 so that social media can't be so easily exploited by either Chinese Communist or American corporate power.
Social media corporations claim Section 230 is a free speech issue, but James Madison didn't write this law. It was drafted in the 1990s, and the Internet has changed just a bit since then.
If TikTok finds an American buyer, that corporation will still enjoy the benefits of Section 230, which shields it from liability for toxic & illegal behavior like deepfake pornography targeting women. youtu.be/IYIw611zBMg
Cole couldn't afford it. I spoke about Cole on the House floor to commemorate his life and to build support for my legislation that reins in the price-gouging abuses of health insurance companies.
One year ago, 22-year-old Cole Schmidtknecht died from a severe asthma attack that led to cardiac arrest. Cole's asthma medication was effective, but a Big 3 PBM jacked up the price to over $500 without notice and without offering an alternative.

The typical American family spends more than half their wallet on housing, healthcare, and child care.
Tax cuts, tariffs, and reducing labor-force participation by migrants are all inflationary.
That's Donald Trump's plan to raise costs.
So, what's his plan to lower them?

The Finns know better than anyone how to beat Russia. Trump should listen. Russia is losing, don't give Putin a lifeline.

Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher have been released and are soon to be reunited with their loved ones. Every life saved is a whole world.

I am optimistic that phase one of the hostage deal will go through. Hamas is no less evil, but it is weaker and more isolated. Only through strength can Israel secure its future.

Donald Trump has unraveled that promise of good jobs by threatening a moratorium on offshore wind, generating so much uncertainty that companies pull back investment. Despite this setback, I remain committed to Brayton Point's redevelopment in partnership with the town of Somerset.
Alongside dozens of stakeholders, including state & local officials and union representatives, I have worked hard to make Brayton Point an exemplar of the clean-energy economy.
The factory, on the site of a decommissioned coal-fired power plant, would have created hundreds of good jobs producing the submarine cables that plug offshore wind turbines into the electrical grid.
