At the UN yesterday, I talked about the need for Congress to move fast on AI regulation, while not laboring under the illusion we have to do it all at once. There is, I argue, some low hanging fruit we can start with - like model security, deep fakes, and protecting kids. https:/

I was glad to join my Democratic colleagues at the annual UN General Assembly. It’s important for the world to hear that Trump’s incoherent, war mongering foreign policy has no support in the American public. https://t.co/kmYRHKAQuP

Voters aren’t going to take seriously Democrats’ outrage over Trump’s corruption unless we admit the whole political system is corrupt and make it a priority to eliminate billionaire and corporate and anonymous money from our politics. https://t.co/d8rACqgVXR

Former NFL players’ association chief DeMaurice Smith and I write about how the Protect College Sports Act protects nothing more than a deeply exploitative system that hurts athletes. https://t.co/nDwUzCA55e 51.8K views · 458 likes · 157 reposts · 28 replies Open on X →

I think there’s good reason to worry the U.S. approach, with no government subsidy or research and no domestic regulation, can prevail over China’s strategy of deep public-private sector partnership and subsidy and heavy domestic regulation. https://t.co/hmcABRCnPg 18.1K views · 103 likes · 28 reposts · 26 replies Open on X →

It’s so craven (and not by accident) that calls to end the war are coming days after Republicans adjourned the House (and days before the Senate adjourns), so Congress can do nothing to end the war. Voters aren’t dumb like these guys think they are. 36.8K views · 2.1K likes · 536 reposts · 56 replies Open on X →

In the summer, I raise money to run a free citywide rec level basketball league in Hartford. The rise of expensive pay to play travel sports is a threat to these experiences, especially in low income cities. Watch this to see what we are losing as rec level sports are devalued.

😂How dumb does she think voters are? If Hinson wins then Republicans control the Senate. And they've pledged to Trump to kill any legisaltive effort to end the war as long as they keep power. 37.5K views · 1.3K likes · 275 reposts · 55 replies Open on X →

A normal federal government would have stopped the Paramount merger. It's illegal on its face. It shouldn't have been left to AGs. But this settlement puts us on the path to state run media and mass scale price gouging. It's corporate bullying prevailing over the law. 96K views · 4.3K likes · 1.3K reposts · 276 replies Open on X →

Here's some unsolicited advice for my Democratic friends - in office and running. Think twice before hiring consultants who are cozying up to private equity, signing up to defend prediction markets, or telling candidates to not say what they actually feel about the big AI 102.5K views · 5K likes · 1.1K reposts · 134 replies Open on X →

With Iran dominating the news, you've probably missed the corruption scheme Trump is running in Venezuela. Since he's going to meet this with the dictator he installed to grease the wheels for his oil friends, it's a good time to tell you the story. 1/ Here it is: 170K views · 3.3K likes · 1.2K reposts · 87 replies Open on X →
