Thanks @delizanickel for including my commentary in your Morning Cyber Newsletter coverage of the ongoing FISA fight! The rampant and repeated abuses of FISA have led to a crisis of trust in key agencies charged with keeping Americans safe. The time for reform is now!

This Signature National AI Policy Framework offers a path forward for Congress to act and develop that much needed federal standard for AI. Very promising stuff in here!

Fantastic to see the WH unveiling its national framework for AI. Thousands of bills targeting AI have been introduced, many of which would create a convoluted regulatory maze for companies to navigate. If America wants to lead and WIN the AI race, we need 1 federal standard.

When RFK isn't on Joe Rogan, ice-plunging with Kid Rock or AI-body slamming a Twinkie on X, he's working on a government definition for "ultra-processed foods." @wirtzbill explains in @reason how Europe already tried and failed at this. reason.com/2026/03/19/bef…

“A band-aid is a band-aid” – @lizzymitch2 at @housecommerce hearing. Same care & wildly different prices have patients dealing with a broken system. Site-neutral payments save patients $ and restore competition. Congress can end hospital upcharging. townhall.com/columnists/eli…

Europe’s climate policy should reduce emissions, not raise costs for consumers. As the EU debates changes to the Green Deal, concerns are growing that strict regulations could hurt competitiveness, drive investment away, and increase energy prices across the continent. A workable climate policy must balance environmental goals with innovation, economic reality, and consumer affordability!

Prediction Markets are already making news media coverage better ✅ They could be used to bust up government waste, fraud and abuse✅ @StephenKentX breaks down the upsides of peer-to-peer trading on events.

The idea of “banning” social media to protect kids from harm is politically potent in the Anglosphere and Europe, but it's already failing where it's tried. After 100 days of the Australian ban, we're seeing just how flawed these policies are

A U.S. congressional investigation found that the ICCPUD Alcohol Intake Study may have been influenced by anti-alcohol advocacy networks. Critics argue it promoted a “zero alcohol” approach favored by activist groups. Should public health guidelines be shaped by science, or by activism? A new analysis by Bill Wirtz explores how anti-alcohol advocacy networks may be influencing the research used to shape future U.S. dietary guidelines.

When science becomes policy, who decides what counts as science? In the debate around alcohol policy in the United States, a new congressional report raises an uncomfortable question. ⤵️

By attacking the resale market, the only place where real competition exists, price caps protect the already concentrated primary ticket market. In the end, consumers face higher risks, fewer options, and more expensive tickets. 🧵

Think price caps protect fans? Fraud is actually four times lower in markets without them. Resale fraud is four times lower in the United Kingdom, where there are no price caps, than in countries that restrict resale prices. In Ireland, 14.1% of concert tickets and 10.7% of sports tickets were found to be fraudulent. ⤵️

If a proposal to improve housing affordability is super exciting and buzzy with political activists, it's probably a bad policy. The best housing solutions are remarkably boring and easy to implement. @StephenKentX explains 🏡🏘️ washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-amer…
