The past, current, and future residents of the Holyoke Veterans Home made a commitment to put their lives on the line on behalf of our nation. It is our proud responsibility to ensure their care.

Our nation’s history is not only told through monuments, museums, and founding documents—it’s written in birth certificates, marriage licenses, military records, and countless other documents that tell the stories of everyday Americans.

Although Google has a right to create and offer new educational tools, it should not use its dominant market position to force schools to adopt them.

Google’s dominant position in education technology makes this ultimatum particularly concerning.

Schools deserve the right to block student access to AI chatbots without also forfeiting access to an important educational tool.

At a time when schools, parents, and policymakers are working hard to implement safeguards on AI chatbots for our children, Google is recklessly forcing AI on schools and treating kids like collateral damage.

Just this month, a girl and her family sued Google after Gemini allegedly ‘helped coach her through a plan to commit suicide.’

Because of these issues on timing, transparency, and threats to our clean air, water, and Tribes, I will vote against the motion to invoke cloture on this legislation.

Voters sent a clear message last week that they want better deals than the ones they’ve gotten under unified Republican leadership.

Voters are going to remember this and those who enabled him when they go to vote this election.

It is an industry-created red herring to prevent Congress from regulating the companies so that they can make trillions and trillions of dollars in profit.

What happens to us as human beings if we start outsourcing our basic functionalities as humans, like creativity and friendship and conversation and problem solving, to machines?

I don't buy that argument at all. Frankly, some of my colleagues make that argument: 'Oh, well, Congress isn't equipped to regulate AI.' I also don't know how to create nuclear energy. I don't know how to perform a surgery. But I regulate…

We did a lot when Democrats were in charge, and it was a mistake for us not to add to a very long list of things we did, regulation of AI. If Democrats win control of the House and the Senate, then we will [regulate AI]. I mean, I can…

This is the textbook illegal war. They are fighting a war without congressional authorization.
