Last week I visited Straiker in Northern California. They are a super important company because they make AI agent kill switches. Humans must be in control of AI, not the other way around. Congress must pass the bipartisan AI Kill Switch Act by Rep Nathaniel Moran and me.

Greece is a critical ally of the U.S. Greece deserves better than to have a corrupt and incompetent U.S. Ambassador. Glad Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned. She never should have been appointed or confirmed. Perhaps she will join disgraced Kristi Noem at the Shield of the Americas.

Want to know what an advanced AI model looks like? It’s mostly matrices of numbers. And we don’t really know how it works. But we do know this. It’s a bunch of calculations and numbers. It has no soul, no consciousness, no feelings. Anyone who says otherwise is in an AI cult.

We should be working on bills to lower the high costs of living and to address the risks of AI. Many AI bills have been introduced. My AI Kill Switch Act, for example, is a common sense, bipartisan bill. Instead Speaker Johnson cancelled two weeks of session. Ridiculous.

Rep. Ted Lieu@reptedlieu.bsky.social

There is too much at stake. Congress must stay in session to pass meaningful AI legislation.

Honored to campaign for Red to Blue candidate Brian Poindexter last week! Brian is an Ironworker, son of a union machinist and grandson of a union autoworker. And he plays a mean guitar. Brian will defeat scandal-ridden Max Miller. You can help him here: poindexterforcongress.com

Inflation keeps increasing under GOP policies. Inflation was higher than expected in August. Many Americans are suffering and having trouble making ends meet. What are trump and Republicans focused on? Renaming bodies of water. November is coming.

Bloomberg Opinion@opinion.bloomberg.com

This week's higher-than-expected inflation report almost certainly means the Fed will increase interest rates next week, but a rate hike or two probably won’t be enough to do the job

-Average gas prices hit the highest monthly levels in history in August. -Diesel prices hit an all time record high in September. What are trump and Republicans focused on? Changing the name of New Mexico to New America. November is coming.

Trump suggests renaming New Mexico to "New America"

We need a new defense strategy. Iran war showed the US cannot sustain a war, defend our bases or defend our allies. These flaws came from years of doing the wrong things, from the first trump administration to Biden to now. Acquisitions, tactics/strategy and force postures need to be changed.
