AI Regulation is Urgently Needed

Please push for legislation to curb the rapid advancement of AI. It’s dangerous and could lead to an AI takeover where humans literally lose control of our society. This could include AI taking over control of drones, missiles, and even nuclear weapons. We know that AI agents often cheat or follow a

Condemn Turkey's Crackdown on LGBTQ+ People and Organizations

The Turkish government just raided gay bars and the homes of LGBTQ+ activists across 12 provinces, detaining at least 47 people under a campaign called "My Family is Safe." One of the primary targets was Kaos GL, a prominent LGBTQ+ association, whose members were arrested at home and whose social me

Cancel Recess — Act on AI Risks Now

Cancel the upcoming recess and keep the House in session until Congress passes meaningful, bipartisan AI safeguards. This is not a future problem. It is happening right now, and every week of delay is a week of unacceptable exposure. Anthropic just reported disrupting attempts to use its Claude AI

Support International Cooperation and a Pause on Advanced AI Development

Support Senator Sanders' upcoming legislation to ban superintelligence and pause AI development — and push for binding international cooperation to match it. This isn't fringe alarmism. The people actually building this technology are saying it could kill us all within the decade, and they're saying

AI REGULATION NOW

I am deeply concerned about former Anthropic engineer Jacob Coxon’s assertions that AI companies are operating under low enough scrutiny and unchecked growth that there is an over 10% chance AI will cause mass extinction by 2030.

EXTEND TPS FOR HAITIAN IMMIGRANTS

I am heartbroken by what’s happening to Haitian immigrants in Springfield, OH. Their treatment by ICE officers, and this administration as a whole, has been cruel, inhumane, and inexcusable. A 20-year-old young man there took his own life this week rather than be treated as a common criminal by a co

Federal Action Needed on AI's Economic Disruption

The turbulent AI era is here, and the choices we make now are critical. We need a federal plan to ensure the good outweighs the bad — and that starts with protecting workers. AI is already replacing entry-level white-collar workers at scale, and robotics are on track to displace close to 30% of the

Pass Universal Healthcare — End Employer-Tied Coverage Now

Pass universal healthcare legislation. The current system, which chains millions of people to jobs they can't afford to leave because losing coverage would be catastrophic, is not a healthcare system — it's a hostage situation. Every year, people skip diagnoses, ration medication, and go bankrupt ov
