I had a great discussion with Ben Winters, the Consumer Federation of America’s Director of AI and Privacy, on how Congress can develop AI policy that protects Americans.
Congress must put privacy, civil rights, and consumer safety first as AI transforms our world in real time.

Kristi Noem has a policy requiring personal approval of FEMA contracts above $100,000. She's busy overseeing inhumane ICE raids so the policy is slowing the flow of aid.
Thank you @ross.house.gov for leading this effort to get Western NC the relief they need.

I am overjoyed to see the Lumbee Tribe receive the federal tribal recognition that they have long deserved.
This bipartisan effort has taken years, but it pales in comparison to the over a century the Lumbee have been seeking reprieve.

I introduced the PROTECT Immigration Act with @quigley.house.gov, @mcbride.house.gov, and @jayapal.house.gov to stop this program that endangers communities.

Trump’s DHS is deputizing state and local law enforcement to target immigrants.
This means local cops spending less time, energy, and resources on crime and emergency response and more on ICE raids.
It makes all of us less safe, and I’m helping to lead legislation to stop it.
