The next Congress must grapple with maintaining American leadership in crypto and AI—two of the most consequential technological developments of my lifetime—and incoming Chairman French Hill is a student of, and an expert in, both.

The 1/6 report is an important read for every American -- but if you can't get through the whole thing, the executive summary is compelling.

Now that NameDrop is live, Apple has to make a change: user should be able to choose what My Card info to share via NameDrop, and the system should remember it. Currently doesn't.

Important advocacy project. Members of Congress are influenced by what's going on in their districts--especially when jobs are being created.
