Unlike big corporations, most small businesses can’t bribe the president with gold bars, ornate plaques, or massive donations, and can’t afford to hire MAGA lobbyists. While big companies get exemptions, small businesses are left to absorb the full impact of Trump’s tariffs.

Beyer, Lawler, Jacobs Introduce Bipartisan Legislation to Promote AI Foundation Model Transparency

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 26(source)

This can have adverse real-world impacts when models are used for health-related AI inferences, loan granting, federal grant approval, housing approval, or law enforcement. Our bill would fix that by establishing transparency requirements for how models are built, trained, and deployed.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 26(source)

AI foundation models are often described as a ‘black box’ because they fail to give consumers the tools to understand why a model gives a particular response, despite the possibility of inaccurate, imprecise, or biased responses due to limitations/biases in the model’s training or training data.

Farmers are struggling with fertilizer costs that could drive up grocery prices, USPS is considering surcharges on package deliveries, and airlines are preparing to increase fares. But Trump thinks none of this is that bad. He’s either wildly out of touch or just lying.

Trump: "I thought oil prices would go up more and I thought the stock market would go down more. It hasn't been nearly as severe as I thought."

Today is Equal Pay Day. As costs skyrocket, women are still underpaid — taking home just 81 cents for every dollar men make. Equal work demands equal pay, and Democrats will keep fighting for an economy and country worthy of our daughters.

The Department of Justice’s reported decision to pay out more than a million of the taxpayer’s dollars to Michael Flynn is as outrageous as it is indefensible.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 25(source)

Americans are already struggling with risings costs, and are now paying even more as a result of the fallout from Trump's illegal, poorly planned war. Trump should end this war and instead start addressing the affordability crisis he created.

United Airlines Warns of 20% Fare Hike to Cope With Oil Surge

United Airlines Holdings Inc. Chief Executive Officer Scott Kirby said ticket prices may have to go up by 20% if jet fuel prices remain elevated for longer.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 25(source)

The American people are struggling with higher costs, fewer jobs, and complete economic chaos. Trump’s “Golden Age” is just an affordability crisis he keeps making worse.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 25(source)

This is deeply abhorrent, and raises questions about the intelligence used to justify the Administration's boat strikes in the Caribbean. Many of us have warned it is likely innocent people are being killed based on dubious evidence. Those concerns now appear to be justified.

We're paying to shut down renewable energy projects when Trump's war on Iran is showing us how costly it is to be totally reliant on fossil fuels. We should be diversifying our energy to increase energy security and affordability, not paying companies to walk away from them.

This is Trump’s economy designed by billionaires, for billionaires: The rich are getting richer while workers and families struggle to pay for groceries and gas.

This is a huge win for clean energy in the Commonwealth of Virginia! A diverse energy grid helps protects us from oil and gas volatility, and new generation can help bring down energy costs down for families and businesses across the Commonwealth.

The nonsensical removal of the 15th Street bike lanes has been delayed, but is still a threat. I’ll keep fighting to protect this vital DC-area transit corridor. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Federal removal of popular bike lanes delayed as cyclists sue, officials say

The Federal Highway Administration was expected to begin construction to remove the 15th Street lanes that carry 4,000 cyclists per day as soon as this week.

Just like to note that on National Agriculture Day, steel and aluminum tariffs are harming farmers by raising costs (in addition to rising fertilizer prices from tariffs AND the current war). www.datawrapper.de/_/aO4iG

Oil prices were higher on Tuesday, paring losses after falling sharply in the previous session, as energy market participants assessed developments related to the Iran war. The uptick in prices suggests lingering skepticism over a a possible de-escalation in the Middle East conflict. cnb.cx/47USe3d

Republicans should join us to pass @delauro.house.gov's bill to fund the law-abiding parts of DHS and end this chaos.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 24(source)

President Trump was approached with a deal that would fund the law-abiding parts of DHS, pay TSA workers, and ensure our airports operate as normal. But he said no. He owns the current chaos at American airports.
