Many of us have questions about AI safety, but we also need to know how its related infrastructure, like data centers, will impact our lives.
@SenJohnCurtis and I are teaming up to increase transparency and community involvement.

AI is becoming more unrecognizable by the day, and now scammers are using it to take advantage of Americans – especially older Americans – across the country.
My AI Fraud Accountability Act will ban fraudsters from using these realistic AI impersonations to rip you off.

Costs are rising across the country.
But instead of offering relief, the President is forcing more than 1 million American children to lose access to food assistance.
More than 1.2 million children lost access to food aid through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program between July 2025 and 2026, according to a new analysis. to.pbs.org/4dwuKEf
We’ve all seen reports of rising measles cases, and we need answers.
The CDC needs to be transparent on the numbers and do its job to keep us safe.
The CDC acknowledges that one measles death has occurred so far in 2026 but provides no clarity about who died or where. nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…
The AI race is out of control and our president is rambling on about how we talk about it.
Call it whatever you want, but we need to start taking these threats seriously.
Trump: "Artificial intelligence being spoken of so much now, hereinafter officially called 'super intelligence.' Changing the name. The use of the word 'artificial' makes intelligence fake, it makes it sound fake, and it is not fake — it is, actually, amazing…Welcome to the new world of super intelligence, dash, S.I."

BLUNT ROCHESTER: You were in the Oval Office when Trump signed the EO calling for splitting up the MMR vaccine into three separate shots. It's been reported you provided a list of options to the president. You thought that was a good one?
OVERTON: I enjoyed our meeting
BR: It's just a yes or no. You think that was a good option?
OVERTON: My job is to provide options to him
BR: But you wouldn't have provided a bad option, right?
OVERTON: My current job is to deliver to the president
BR: I thought this was the easy question!
I thought this was the easy one… 🤷🏽♀️

It was a pleasure to celebrate Senator Barbara Mikulski’s 90th birthday today.
From Baltimore’s neighborhoods to the halls of Congress, Barbara has been a tireless champion for working families and an inspiration to generations of women in public service.

.@SenLBR urged the public to pressure Congress on AI regulation, citing “serious” concerns about public safety at POLITICO’s Policy Outlook: Housing Affordability.
“Now I know we came here to talk about housing, but let me tell you, we won't need housing if we're not here," she told @politico's @vtg2.
“As fast as this technology is iterating and getting smarter and smarter and faster and faster, a kill switch will be obsolete in a year or two."
Democrat @SenLBR said Congress needs to pursue a second housing bill focused on demand.
“ROAD 2.0 should also be about demand,” she told our @vtg2 at @POLITICOLive’s policy chat. “We have a lot of folks that can't afford the rent.”👇
WATCH LIVE: The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act aims to address the affordability concerns that are expected to dominate the midterm election. But many are already questioning what more Washington can do about soaring home prices and rents.
Tune in as our @vtg2 sits down for a @POLITICOLive policy chat with @SenLBR 👇

Trump is attacking the free press because they're reporting the truth he doesn't want you to know: he's failing the American people.
CNN, MS NOW and Politico sued President Donald Trump’s administration after they were barred from covering the White House, saying the selective ban was “a blatant violation” of the First Amendment.

This is a crisis. Access to affordable reproductive health care shouldn't depend on your ZIP code.
But that's the reality for women across America thanks to Trump and Congressional Republicans big, ugly bill.

Sens. John Curtis & Lisa Blunt Rochester follow up with a letter to Cruz/Cantwell asking for hearings w/ AI execs

News from @PunchbowlNews AM: Sens. John Curtis and Lisa Blunt Rochester calling for immediate public hearings on AI in a new statement
Both sit on Commerce
They say they’re seeking hearings “to bring lawmakers, model makers, and other stakeholders into the same room and work through solutions that maintain America’s competitive edge in development while ensuring that these technologies serve human interests and remain fully under human control. In the meantime, Congress must ensure necessary safeguards are in place.”

Republicans control the House and the Senate – if they wanted, we could be taking action to respond to these alarming escalations right now.
Instead, House Republicans are headed home. In this moment that requires real leadership, they're abandoning ship.
A bug-hunting independent security research team used Anthropic’s Claude software to gain access to an OpenAI employee’s ChatGPT account, giving them a way to read and suggest changes to the company’s private cache of software. on.wsj.com/4h8vaBP
This DHS watchdog report is horrific.
Everyone, regardless of their immigration status, deserves to be treated with basic respect.
