The ticketing market is broken. Congress should set national rules protecting consumers in the primary & secondary markets, such as my BOSS & SWIFT Act. As important, it’s time to break up Ticketmaster. 5
My report’s findings raise fresh concerns that the Trump admin’s settlement with Live Nation will allow anti-consumer price gouging tactics to continue while doing little to protect musicians, their fans, & independent venues. 4/
At each stage of this process, from primary tickets marked up by dynamic pricing algorithms, to secondary sales from consumers & ticket brokers, Ticketmaster has profited handsomely while Americans paid the price. 3/
Despite the company’s recurrent insistence that decisions about ticket prices & fees are largely out of its hands, Live Nation has exerted its enormous influence over venues & artists to increase fees & ticket prices. 2/
As we confront a growing energy crisis that reveals how vulnerable we are to relying on fossil fuels, this stable source of reliable & renewable energy will power the region for decades to come.
If you are hurt by Trump’s health care cuts, his team’s got an alternative for you—prediction markets.  Got cancer? Bet on your life on Polymarket or Kalshi.  Absolutely grotesque.
Binance thinks its crypto connections to Trump’s family will get it a pass, just as its former CEO got a Presidential pardon. In fact, we can’t trust this DOJ to hold Binance accountable. That why I’ll continue investigating through the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
My measure—the Prediction Markets Security & Integrity Act—puts guardrails on this out-of-control industry. It bans dangerous & unethical bets, & protects consumers from fraud & other predatory practices.
Even as Russia aids Iran to target & kill our troops, Trump continues to play footsy with Putin. In that hour long phone call, just days ago, apparently no warning, nothing about “Cut It Out, Vladimir.” Just acquiescence—more appeasement.
I will continue to demand answers & accountability from Binance for having helped prop up Iranian-linked terrorist organizations & illicit Russian oil sales. Silence on key facts speaks volumes about Binance’s suspected complicity.
