@NewYorkStateAG + @CommonSense Jim Steyer: "[W]e’re working with lawmakers to make common-sense changes to protect our children from unregulated tech... [to] restrict AI companies from deploying unsafe chatbot features to underage users." Read more👇 timesunion.com/opinion/articl…

New report from @CommonSense with a detailed look at the past five years of policy and legal developments around kids' online safety and a set of recommendations for the path forward to better protect kids. Check it out: linkedin.com/posts/common-s…

Are you one of nearly 70 million American women who changed their names when they got married? 🙋‍♀️ Republicans in Congress want to make it harder for you to vote. Tell your senator to oppose the SAVE Act. indivisible.org/actions/stop-s…

I'm looking through my files for a similar letter from the FTC to Fox News and Newsmax for providing one-sided news... hang on while I keep looking... still looking.

By far the clearest of the videos and by far the most jarring.

Making the Kennedy Center Great Again?

Common Sense Media’s @LizFol stood alongside @Sen_Gounardes, @nily and advocates to call on NY lawmakers to pass the Stop Online Predators Act (SOPA). This bill would make social media platforms safer by blocking strangers from messaging kids and strengthening safety settings.

Trump's war on wind unhinged and totally illegal. Our project is Connecticut is almost totally built. And now we're going back to court - for a second time - to stop another illegal order. All Trump is doing is killing jobs and driving up energy prices. nytimes.com/2025/12/22/cli…

This move is unbelievably stupid. These offshore wind projects went through years of review by the FAA and the Pentagon and were already approved, built, and in some cases operating. Claiming “national security” now is nonsense. Shutting them down weakens the grid, kills jobs, and creates a real security risk by leaving us with less reliable power when demand is surging. pbs.org/newshour/show/…

NY, WE DID IT! @govkathyhochul signed our bill to require a warning label on addictive social media. This happened because parents, young people & advocates spoke up & kept the pressure on. Thank you Gov. Hochul, @Sen_Gounardes & @nily for your leadership in this huge win.

Great package of Kids Online Safety bills in Michigan Senate. Thanks to Sens. Camilleri, Hertel, Chang, and Polehanki for introducing them. #KeepKidsSafeOnline

The new MAGA - Measles Are Great Again 😞. “US set to lose measles elimination status: The ‘house is on fire’”thehill.com/policy/healthc…

Good material for @HouseCommerce and @EnergyCommerce Members to keep in mind today before the subcommittee markup -- parents and kids need a strong #KOSA #COPPA and other kids' online safety bills.

Online platforms like Roblox have become hunting grounds for pedophiles. My NY Children’s Online Safety Act can protect kids by taking the onus off parents and putting it where it belongs: on Big Tech. My op-ed with @jimsteyer from @CommonSense: timesunion.com/opinion/articl…

Kids deserve to be safe online. Platforms like Roblox are failing to stop predators, and the burden shouldn’t fall on parents. Proud to co-author this piece with @Sen_Gounardes, whose legislation would shift responsibility back to tech companies. timesunion.com/opinion/articl…

Republicans spent the whole day in the House making everyone revote on the “horrors of socialism” resolution specifically over Mamdani, it’s literally the only thing we did today, and hours later Trump says “he has the same ideas I have.” It’s just beautiful

"Teens regularly turn to generative-AI chatbots in search of mental-health support. A new report says this is one of the most dangerous uses of the technology." @WSJ on @CommonSense research on AI chatbots + teen mental health. Is now really the time to preempt state AI laws? No.

At a moment when families across the political spectrum have serious concerns about the risks AI poses to children, the White House is preparing to issue an executive order to hamstring states' rights to implement AI safety laws. Read my statement here: commonsensemedia.org/press-releases…

Worth paying attention to Congress this week over this "preemption of state AI laws" issue.
