Anyone still denying the risks posed by unregulated AI should read this thread. It’s time to pump the brakes & take action NOW. We need: - Mandatory safeguards - A comprehensive testing regime - Urgent dialogue with China, before & during President Xi's visit to DC this month

Mail-in voting is safe and secure. The Constitution gives Congress and the states authority over federal elections. Not the President. It’s why I joined my colleagues in filing a brief challenging President Trump’s executive order and the USPS rule seeking to control how mail-in ballots are handled.

Even if there was a 1% chance AI could wipe out human life, we should be pumping the brakes to make sure we have the proper safeguards in place, not racing blindly into disaster. It's time for Congress to step in and find the balance between safety and innovation, before it's too late.

Kash Patel has spent the last year weaponizing the world’s preeminent law enforcement agency to serve the interests of one person—Donald Trump. He will have many questions to answer, under oath, when he comes before the Committee next week.

Our Main Streets are hurting right now because of reckless trade wars and soaring costs, and this chaos must end now. It was great to meet with small business owners in Janesville who told me what this all means for the businesses they’ve worked so hard to make successful.

Oil just went back up to $100 per barrel as the fighting in Trump’s illegal Iran war intensifies. That means even higher gas and diesel prices are back for Americans. All for Trump’s endless, unwinnable war. The only way out of this is to end the war, now. Not another nickel.

If we are smart enough to create such powerful AI, then we are smart enough to regulate it. America can meet the moment, but the clock is ticking. Congress needs to step up and move NOW to protect American lives and safeguard our future.

I know there’s a lot of news every week, but this one deserves some real pause: In Germany, Chinese owned car companies only entered the market in 2021. Today, they own around 8% of the market. As a result, Volkswagen, is cutting 50,000 jobs. 50,000.

Michigan is already leading the way in supporting local agriculture and bringing fresh food into people’s lives. I saw that firsthand at the Midland Farmers Market. And through a bipartisan Farm Bill, we can build on that work.

“GEO Group and the Trump administration right now are making a choice: to gain by making others suffer. But it is not their choice to make.” I’ve been back to Delaney Hall many times to check on the people inside. I wrote about what we must do to shut this detention center down for good.

College football is back, but there’s a lot more to college sports than football. Thanks to Sophie, a student-athlete at the University of Michigan, for making the case for why Congress should pass my bipartisan Protect College Sports Act & protect the sports so many athletes dedicate themselves to.

If Waltz & Trump are serious about ending the war in Sudan, they should stop US arms sales to countries sending weapons that fuel it. When I offered legislation to do so, Republicans blocked it, saying the admin was opposed. Talk is cheap, use your power to stop the killing.

This from the man who betrayed his country by conspiring to overturn a presidential election. Giuliani is a traitor to our democracy. Mayor Mamdani champions it. Giuliani’s diatribe was full of blatant anti-Muslim rhetoric & it should be called out & condemned. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/06/n...
