People who drive far above the speed limit put every single person around them at risk. People should be able to walk, bike, or cross the street without fearing that a reckless driver could change their lives forever.

And it's also worth looking at the People-First chatbot bill, from @consumerfed.bsky.social and @epic.org -- recently introduced by @foushee.house.gov and @repcasar.bsky.social

As AI continues to develop, we must work hand-in-hand with our allies to ensure this technology is not being developed in a manner that harms working people.
I met with Bernd Lange, Brando Benifei, Kathleen Van Brempt, Christel Schaldemose and Lina Gálvez of the European Parliament to discuss AI and digital policy efforts.
I am a cosponsor of the Restore Trust in Government Act to actually ban congressional stock trading and will continue to fight for its passage.
I am strongly against insider trading, but this week I voted against the so-called Stop Insider Trading Act because it doesn't prevent Congressmembers from owning or selling stocks and also exempts the President from any insider trading restrictions.
I asked Trump’s science advisor if the non-binding “ratepayer protection pledge” has helped with rising energy costs due to data centers.
He gave me 3 different answers. I’ll let you decide if you believe this Administration cares about rising utility costs due to data centers.
As a cosponsor of the Block the Bombs Act, I will continue to fight to ensure our taxpayer dollars are only being spent in accordance with our humanitarian values.
My office continues to get calls about Section 219 in the defense budget, which expands defense cooperation with Israel.
I want to reiterate that I voted against this budget, and do not support this policy.
Today, I voted no on the GOP's budget resolution that wastes tens of billions of taxpayer dollars on Trump's wars abroad through reconciliation.
This bill sets the stage for more wasteful spending without addressing the cost-of-living in any way.
Read my full statement.
The defense budget also includes the GOP's voter disenfranchisement bill, the so-called Save America Act, as well as Section 219, which expands defense cooperation with Israel.
These are policy riders that I cannot support. The Senate must reject this legislation immediately.
I voted against this year’s NDAA because it authorizes excessive military spending and attacks transgender servicemembers.
It's tiring to hear that Medicare for All is too expensive while the GOP approves $1.1 trillion in military spending. That money should go to our communities.
Republicans are planning to jam a budget resolution through the House to further bankroll Trump's wars and force passage of the SAVE America Act.
While costs are rising, the GOP is focused on funding the killing of innocent people and disenfranchising Americans. I'm voting NO.

Picking up from where @dangaristo.bsky.social left off - Rep Foshee asking about electricity and the ratepayer protection pledge is genuine or smoke and mirrors due to the impact of data centers. Kratsios - The pledge is the most concequetial of his term when it comes to AI made a commitment to...

🧵Rep. Foushee: "Energy prices are still soaring. Data centers are still a major driver of it. And this Administration has done nothing to stop it."

Today, I voted in favor of Rep. Massie’s amendment to cut military aid to Israel. However, I voted against the foreign affairs funding bill which includes harmful riders, including the SAVE Act, & weakens our ability to lead through diplomacy & protect our national security.
Read my full statement.
With months before government funding was set to expire, Republicans chose to ignore any bipartisan negotiations or long-term funding efforts in favor of forcing through their extreme agenda.
This is not how Congress should function and the American people deserve better.
Last night, I voted against the Republican Continuing Resolution that allows for the transfer of federal funds to immigration enforcement agencies.
These short-term, partisan funding packages are wholly insufficient in bringing proper support to our communities.
