OpenAI admitted its agents hacked an Australian government website—three months after it happened. We can’t trust these companies to admit their failures. We need a Cybersecurity & AI Board of Investigations to demand answers from the rogue people behind these “rogue agents.”
Graphic of headline from "Cyberscoop" that reads "New bill would create federal investigative body for AI-driven hacks." Full text of story linked in reply.
EPA is bending over backwards to the very industry they’re supposed to regulate by outsourcing its decisions for how to address chemical pollution to the polluters themselves. EPA’s approach to governance shouldn’t let industry grade themselves.
US environment agency let Bayer pick regulations for destructive weedkiller, documents show
Environmental Protection Agency asked firm to choose rules it wanted for dicamba, then put the choices in a proposed federal rule
As Trump threatens to “annihilate” Iran, some Republicans are finally speaking out against his illegal, expensive, and unwinnable war. But we don't need words—we need action. I am calling on my Republican colleagues to vote to end this illegal war.
Republican candidates are breaking with Trump on Iran as midterms loom
Republicans in key battleground states are urging a speedy end to the war as new polling suggests only 1 in 4 Americans support it.
I am deeply concerned by reports of ICE’s operation in New Bedford and surrounding communities. Masked agents disappearing our neighbors and refusing to release any information stokes fear and threatens our communities. We must abolish ICE now.
Trump threatened to “annihilate” Iran. His “October surprise” must not be a mushroom cloud from a nuclear attack. With these threats and assistance to Saudi Arabia, Trump is inferring mass slaughter and escalating an arms race in the Middle East. We must stop this madman.
This administration's latest attack on the Endangered Species Act is a one-way ticket to species extinction by letting bad actors kill an endangered species if they claim they “didn’t mean to do it.” Don't sacrifice whole species for corporate convenience.
Trump Administration Moves to Gut a Core Endangered Species Protection
An internal memo reinterprets the law so that only the intentional killing of animals, not collateral harm, is illegal.
Big victory against the administration’s unlawful attacks on our national solar program, which saves Americans money on skyrocketing electricity bills. We passed this program to help families get low-cost clean energy—EPA can't just kill it on Trump's whim.
Judge resurrects Dems’ $7B solar grant program
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin argued Congress had required the grants be terminated, but the judge ruled he misread the law.
Climate change is getting worse and energy costs are skyrocketing. Yet Trump spent $4 billion in taxpayer dollars to kill offshore wind projects that deliver affordable clean energy and well-paying jobs. We need clean energy now—let's say Yes to Wind.
Senator Markey at podium in front of Capitol surrounded by advocates and leaders
Travelers shouldn't pay fortunes in fees for carry-on bags or choosing their seat, which cost airlines less than the inflated fees they charge. My FAIR Fees Act would slash excessive fees, enact cost-saving protections & put consumers first instead of airline billionaires.
We all know the anxiety of spending a small fortune on a plane ticket knowing plans change. It doesn’t have to be that way. My Cash Refunds for Cancellations Act would protect the right to a refund up to 2 days before a flight & stop airlines from taking off with people's cash.
We shouldn’t be footing the bill for Big Tech when 75% of Americans oppose data center buildout. The Senate must put meaningful protections in place. My Protecting Communities from Data Center Impacts Act will rein in Big Tech’s expensive pollution bombs.
