Our GUARDRAILS Act would prohibit Trump's previously announced AI executive order from taking effect to ensure states can enact commonsense safeguards in the face of rapidly evolving AI technologies.

I've introduced the GUARDRAILS Act with @schatz.bsky.social @dorismatsui.bsky.social @reptedlieu.bsky.social @sarajacobs.house.gov @repaprildelaney.bsky.social to ensure that.

But until federal action ensures safe and responsible AI development, deployment, and use, states must retain the ability to implement policies to protect the American public.

The WH National AI Policy Framework reinforces the Trump administration’s commitment to preempting state-level AI laws without the establishment of clear, enforceable federal guardrails to address the urgent risks posed by AI systems. It even seeks to limit Congressional regulatory action.

Eid Mubarak to all celebrating the end of the holy month of Ramadan! May this time be filled with love, joy, and peace.
Instead of working on policies to make health care more affordable, the Trump Administration is promoting a sham Trump Rx website with access to drugs that already have cheaper generic options or can be found for the same or lower price through other discount services.

Between tariffs and a war with Iran, Trump keeps delivering what people didn’t ask for: higher prices and more uncertainty.
Americans didn’t ask for this. And they shouldn’t have to bear the cost of it.
A relief to see the courts uphold science, public health, and evidence-based medicine. This is hopefully the first of many steps to undo the damage done by RFK Jr. and his team of quacks.

If Republicans know negotiations remain ongoing and if they truly cared about shutdown impacts, they’d move with Democrats to fund FEMA, TSA, cybersecurity, Secret Service & Coast Guard.
My bill does that while keeping ICE & CBP negotiations separate.
They are out for themselves, with no regard for ethical and honest public service.
We've never seen anything like it, and the rot comes from the very top.
The corruption in this Administration is the worst in American history, and my Republican colleagues continue to turn a blind eye.
Before they were even sworn in, senior Trump appointees and their families viewed their positions as a license to steal.
While Americans are crushed by skyrocketing costs, Lewandowski is raking in profits in corrupt pay to play schemes.
This is blatantly illegal, and demands an independent investigation.

Donald Trump and Republicans are trying to confuse Americans on purpose. The SAVE America Act doesn’t just require a simple photo ID.
This bill would require a passport or a birth certificate to vote, documents which millions of Americans don’t have access to.

Trump's so-called SAVE America Act will make it more difficult for millions of Americans to vote in our elections.
Republicans know the only way they can win is by ripping away Americans' right to vote.
This administration unleashed a war without adequately anticipating or preparing for its consequences.
Now, as energy prices surge, they're scrambling to recover and are even considering lifting sanctions on Iranian oil to bring prices down and... hurt Iran.
A clown show.
When energy costs surge, they're hard to bring down. And everything becomes more expensive: transportation, manufacturing, you name it.
The idea that this illegal war is great for our long-term economy is laughable.
The reckless destruction of oil and gas infrastructure combined with Republican policies to keep us dependent on fossil fuels means increased volatility that sends energy costs soaring.

This is a man who doesn’t know what he has unleashed and is losing his grip.

Donald Trump and Republicans enacted the largest cuts in history to Medicaid and SNAP because the nation simply “couldn’t afford” them.
Now, the Trump Administration is seeking $200 billion to pursue their illegal, poorly planned war of choice against Iran. Absolutely not.
SCOOP: The Pentagon asked the White House today for more than *$200 billion* for Iran war supplemental, sources say
Some in WH think Congress won't support b/c it's so big
Will tee up giant battle in Congress
