What's Congress doing on AI right now? Nothing.
Everyone's focused on the next election while this technology moves faster than any of us can predict. I’m pushing to get everyone at the table—experts, skeptics, regulators, and government—to rein in this technology. Not later, now.

Today at @concordiasummit.bsky.social, I made the case: AI is moving quickly. Congress needs to move with it to protect America, the world, and humanity.
Wishing all those who observe an easy fast and a meaningful Yom Kippur. G’mar Chatimah Tovah.
Great to welcome Black leaders to Washington for Congressional Black Caucus week.
When our Black communities are strong, Arizona is strong—and our entire country is stronger when we move forward together.
Corporations are mining your data to squeeze more money out of you. It’s called surveillance pricing, and I’m working to ban it.
The Supreme Court just rejected the president’s attempt to restrict mail-in voting.
80% of Arizonans—Republicans, Democrats, and Independents—vote by mail, and Trump can’t change that.
We don’t need to wait on the president to regulate AI. This is why we have different branches of government. Congress needs to bring experts to the table, work across the aisle, and move quickly on guardrails that protect America, the world, and humanity.
AI is advancing faster than our ability to understand its risks. When our national security is on the line, waiting to act isn’t an option.
This administration says their tariffs on Canada will bring back American manufacturing. They won't. Smart industrial policy—like the CHIPS Act—and real cooperation with Canada are what actually build a stronger North American economy that can compete with China.
AI is unlike any technology we've seen before. Once it becomes fully dangerous, it won't care whether you're Chinese or American. We can't afford to wait three years to act, we have to move now to regulate it.
I spend a lot of time at Section 60 in Arlington, visiting friends I lost in Iraq. Now Trump wants an ugly arch within view of that sacred ground. This isn't about liking the guy. It's January 6th. It's the DOJ. It's putting his name on the Kennedy Center. None of it earns a monument.
Sydney and I are wishing all those celebrating Rosh Hashanah a healthy, happy, and sweet new year. Shana Tova!
U.S. diesel prices have topped $6 a gallon for the first time ever.
The trucks that deliver your food run on diesel. Just about everything you buy at the grocery store is about to get more expensive.
Our country can’t afford another endless war.
We also remember how, for a moment in time, our country came together in the face of tragedy, showing what is possible when we meet hardship with courage, unity, and compassion.
That's America at its best. We still have it in us, and we should carry it forward.
Today we pause to honor those we lost on September 11, 2001, and the heroic men and women who ran toward danger to save lives.
Protecting the Department of Education has to be a priority. So does slashing federal funding for vouchers, increasing teacher pay, tackling student absenteeism, and building out workforce training programs.
How do we afford it?
Let's start by eliminating Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires.
Here’s the full plan: www.gallego.senate.gov/wp-content/u...
I grew up poor, but I was lucky enough to get a good education, make it to Harvard, and become a U.S. Senator. Every kid deserves that same fair shot.
That’s what I'm fighting for: a public school system that works no matter who you are or where you’re born.
Let's get to work.
A whistleblower from the U.S. Postal Service has confirmed what we feared: Trump's mail-ballot verification system is so broken it could lose or reject ballots ahead of the midterms.
So, I'm demanding USPS testify before the Senate. If you try to impede Arizonans from voting, you have answer to us.
Canada fought beside the U.S. in both World Wars, the Korean War, and Afghanistan. Their National War Memorial stands as a reminder of what that cost.
You don't walk away from an alliance like this. I'll keep fighting to protect it.
