    RT @FrankPallone: Dozens of AI safety incidents have come to light in recent months, with thousands more under investigation. We can’t count on the Trump Administration to act, so I’m working with @RepZoeLofgren and @RepRaskin to ask AI companies to report incidents to Congress. Congress needs to put real guardrails on AI, and this information will help us get it right.

    RT @RepGabeAmo: What does the Blue Economy mean for Rhode Island? Joined Commanding Officer Captain Patrick Sweeney on the bridge of NOAA Ship Henry B. Bigelow to discuss what this ocean-powered, future-looking, sustainable economy means for Rhode Islanders.

    RT @ValerieFoushee: Claude’s access to paywalled Georgia voter data further demonstrates that AI corporations cannot be trusted to regulate themselves. AI-driven cyberattacks continue to threaten personal data and civil rights. Congress needs to come to the table and pass legislation to protect the American people immediately.

    RT @RepGabeAmo: Great tour of the new @NOAA Marine Operations Center in Newport. Home to four research vessels, it will provide vital ocean data to fishermen, coastal communities & maritime industries. This is what the Blue Economy is all about: good jobs, expanding knowledge & building a resilient future.

    RT @RepDeborahRoss: Electricity costs have gone up more than twice as fast as the overall cost of living in North Carolina. I met with elected officials and energy leaders to discuss rising utility costs and Duke Energy’s plan to raise residential rates. Electricity isn’t a luxury item. I will continue to push back against rate hikes and fight for affordable energy.

    RT @RepGabeAmo: One of my jobs in Congress is holding Trump & his Cabinet accountable for hurting Rhode Islanders. That’s why I called out @RussVought47 for his harmful health care cuts & @SecretaryWright for his lies about lowering energy costs. I won’t back down because you deserve answers.
    Congressman Gabe Amo @RepGabeAmo
    Trump promised to Make America Affordable Again. Instead he slashed billions from "blue state” Department of @ENERGY projects, including three in Rhode Island. I pressed @SecretaryWright in @sciencedems to stop playing politics and restart the projects.

    RT @RepBillFoster: We also need to harden our cybersecurity perimeter against agent swarms capable of rapidly exploiting software vulnerabilities. I plan to introduce legislation in the coming weeks to help equip financial regulators and institutions with secure, open-source tools to monitor financial risks in real time.

    RT @RepBillFoster: We need to encourage stronger ID verification tools to combat deepfake scams. @PeteSessions and I already have a bipartisan bill that would help states roll out these tools:

    RT @RepBillFoster: AI agents are making it easier for bots and crooks to impersonate you online and gain access to your accounts. Congress and regulators must step up their game to harden our financial system against these vulnerabilities.

    SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents operating inside customer accounts, with some agents attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions.

    RT @RepDeborahRoss: Dear James-David, I'm glad our airport made such a strong impression on you, because the city of "Raleigh-Durham" would like you to go back to DC and restore our research funding.
    Eric Holl @FrederickHoll
    BIG yikes here from @JDVance today. “Raleigh-Durham” is an airport, not a city or a place people are from. #ncpol Ultimate irony that he says it during a statement accusing opponents of being inauthentic.

    RT @RepAprilDelaney: Read this. A scientist who studies the fish and shellfish we eat packed up and left for Finland. Not for the money. For stability. That's what grant freezes and terminated awards actually cost. I voted no on the cuts and pressed HHS on the Fort Detrick lab. The fight isn't over.

    RT @RepGabeAmo: I joined @RepZoeLofgren to demand answers to the Trump Admin’s destruction of the tools that keep us safe from extreme weather events. Americans need better warnings, not satellite-sized blind spots.
    CNN @CNN
    The Trump administration’s cuts to weather satellites will set the country back nearly a decade, experts say. The loss of data used to observe, forecast and research extreme weather could prevent the US from making major advances in weather prediction in the coming years.

    RT @RepDeborahRoss: Congratulations to North Carolina's own Christina Koch on becoming NASA’s acting deputy chief engineer. Christina Koch made our state proud as the first woman to journey around the moon. Now, I look forward to working with her as she leads the next chapter of American space travel.

    RT @RepHaleyStevens: We need clearer answers about microplastics and our health. That’s why I formed a Congressional task force, wrote the Plastics Health Research Act, and corralled researchers and industry to support it. Let’s get this done!!
