AI has made it easier for scammers to take advantage of people. We need to implement sensible guardrails on the ways AI can be used to cause harm. That’s why we introduced the bipartisan AI Fraud Deterrence Act to combat fraud committed with AI.
Pleased to introduce bipartisan legislation with Rep Dunn to crack down on fraud and scams committed with AI, including deepfakes.
Pleased to introduce the AI Fraud Deterrence Act today with Rep. Dunn which would expand penalties for AI scams and deepfakes, including impersonations of federal officials. Our bipartisan goal is simple: Deter people from using AI to commit fraud.
At the top, a red “exclusive” box is above white text from an NBC headline that reads, “Proposed AI fraud bill seeks to criminalize deepfakes of federal officials,” overlayed a darkened picture of the Capitol. At the bottom is a photo of Rep. Ted Lieu outlined in red with a tweet from Jared Polo that reads, “Exclusive: New proposed AI fraud bill will seek to criminalize deepfakes of federal officials (outside of satire, etc.) The bill, from @RepTedLieu (D-Ca.) and @DrNealDunnFL2 (R-Fl.), would also update definitions and penalties for fraud to account for the rise of AI” and a screenshot from the top of Rep. Lieu's bill.
Want another example of the White House treating Republican Members like garbage? The WH is trying, again, to jam through an unrelated AI moratorium on states after the first try failed 99-1. The White House has largely ignored rank and file Republican Members on AI issues.
Fascinating grievance from an unnamed House Republican to @jakesherman.bsky.social: "This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL. ... They don’t even allow little wins like announcing small grants or even responding from agencies." punchbowl.news/article/hous...
The harmful policies of Trump and rubber stamp Republicans are crushing the American people. -Grocery prices are up -Car prices are up -Healthcare prices are up And what is Trump focused on? His parties with billionaires, his used jet from Qatar, and his Epstein ballroom.
Ahead of Thanksgiving and amid frustration among American consumers over affordability, President Trump has recently insisted, often wrongly, that prices and costs were coming down. Here is a fact-check of some of his recent claims.

The Trump Administration’s cuts to the Office of Space Commerce could jeopardize space traffic coordination, critical defense missions, and commercial space operations. Leading bipartisan demands with Rep. Don Bacon to OMB Director Russ Vought to enact full funding for the OSC.
White and blue text overlayed a photo of Earth from space: “REPS TED LIEU & DON BACON LEAD BIPARTISAN DEMANDS TO FULLY FUND THE OFFICE OF SPACE COMMERCE”

Southern California has been experiencing severe rainstorms, which is stress testing our region’s critical infrastructure. Pleased to announce I fought for and secured federal funding for Rolling Hills Estates to repair and upgrade stormwater resilience projects.
White and yellow text on a black background read: “CONGRESSMAN LIEU SECURES $750,000 FOR ROLLING HILLS ESTATES” and “This funding will help Rolling Hills Estates repair storm drains and install a dry-well system to divert stormwater from entering the Los Angeles Harbor.” At the bottom is a picture of water drainage.
When your defense is that Trump publicly being a sexist, vulgar old man is better than Trump privately being a sexist, vulgar old man, you are losing. Also for the MAGA folks desperately trying to explain Trump said something else, here is the WH doubling down.
Reporter: What did the president mean when he called the reporter piggy? Leavitt: I think the president being frank and open and honest to your faces rather than hiding behind your backs is a lot more respectful than what you saw in the last administration

It is abhorrent that the President just threatened death upon members of Congress. We must condemn all threats of political violence, especially when they come from someone who has incited a violent attack on the Capitol.
Picture of Trump with Forbes headline overlayed, “Trump suggests ‘death’ for Democrats who urge military to defy illegal orders" Below is a screenshot of Trump’s Truth Social post, “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”
Donald Trump is an embarrassment to the United States of America and dishonors Americans with his sexist, vulgar and unbecoming conduct.
1/Catherine Lucey, the White House correspondent for Bloomberg, asked Donald Trump about releasing the Epstein files on Air Force One over the weekend. In response, Trump leaned forward, slashing an accusatory finger her direction and barked, “Quiet! Quiet Piggy,” at her.
In a normal Department of Justice not run by hacks and sycophants and malicious clowns, Lindsey Halligan would resign and the indictment against James Comey would be dismissed. Halligan should be disbarred. She altered a court document without showing the grand jury.
@rparloff.bsky.social reporting that the DOJ just admitted to the judge that Halligan never presented the second indictment to the grand jury… Halligan is a train wreck in real time
Honored to speak at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s Tech Summit today on AI literacy. Thank you to CHCI Chair Darren Soto and CHCI staff for their leadership in putting together great programs.
Grocery prices reach a record high. The harmful policies of Trump and Republicans are crushing Americans. And what is Trump focused on? Redecorating his marble bathroom, renovating his used jet from Qatar, and demolishing part of the White House to build his Epstein ballroom.
U.S. grocery prices have hit a record high — the monthly cost for a family of four is now $1,030.
