My joint statement with Leader @SteveScalise, @HouseCommerce Chairman @RepGuthrie, @JudiciaryGOP Chairman @Jim_Jordan, and @housescience Chairman @RepBrianBabin on committing to act on the artificial intelligence (AI) framework released today by the Trump Administration: AI has begun to demonstrate its potential to improve Americans’ lives. To ensure we continue to harness its potential and beat China in the global AI race, Congress must take action. Today, the Trump Administration took a critical step in releasing a framework that gives Congress a roadmap to pursue legislation that provides innovators with much-needed certainty, while protecting consumers and prioritizing kids’ online safety. @HouseGOP looks forward to working across the aisle to enact a national framework that unleashes the full potential of AI, cements the U.S. as the global leader, and provides important protections for American families.

Exciting news this morning. The White House is poised to introduce a national policy framework for AI. In this exclusive for Fox News, @mkratsios47 and @DavidSacks explain how this approach will provide much needed regulatory certainty for entrepreneurs while also protecting consumers, especially children.

First day of Spring and we have a National AI Plan! 🌼 🚀 🇺🇸

This data is astonishing. AVs are not just a transportation benefit. They are a massive public health breakthrough. When an innovation delivers lifesaving results like this, regulators have a moral duty to move fast and bring it to their citizens. @MayorBowser @councilofdc

California's latest tech bill would: ✅ Break up Amazon Prime ✅ Eliminate travel, stock, song lyric, and shopping results from Google search ✅ Require app stores to carry hate and malware apps  ✅ Let WhatsApp and Zoom sue Apple for preinstalling FaceTime on iPhones

Great point by @daphnehk - “Section 230 may be like Churchill said of democracy: the worst option, except for all the others.”

Assuming Waymo-equivalent self-driving cars "win", it will be equivalent to curing all breast cancer in the US, twice-over. Self-driving cars are absolutely the most important pro-social technological development in decades

“I agree with John Stuart Mill that the best solution for bad ideas and bad speech is better ideas and more speech. We don’t need to use brute government force because the truth is much more powerful.” - @SenTedCruz #Section230 🎯

I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took. Thank you for getting us to this point.

Innovation thrives when the rules are clear. Strong step forward. Thank you @SECPaulSAtkins

Section 230 fuels innovation, protects free expression, and lets startups compete with incumbents. Weakening it helps no one but trial lawyers and our international competitors. We just sent our letter to Senate Commerce. Keep the internet open. 🇺🇸🚀

🚨🚨 @FoxNews: 1 BILLION identity records exposed in ID verification data leak — INCLUDING +203 MILLION America records Governments requiring Digital ID w/ "age verification" mandates create MASSIVE security risks The threat is NOT hypothetical. Another unfortunate example:

Two of the brightest minds on AI on one paper. Worth reading!

“Instead of being in the driver’s seat, humans will be behind the scenes of the whole operation, fulfilling operational and blue-collar business needs...[Waymo’s] investments in infrastructure and growing services ‘create opportunities for Americans of all backgrounds, by bringing a wide variety of new, non-college and trades-work roles to communities around the U.S.’” fortune.com/2026/03/16/way…

Great point on state law AI chaos by my colleague @JDGrossman 🎯

AUStin Airport recommends passengers on domestic flights show up 2.5 HOURS EARLY today. Wow! If you’re heading to the airport from North Austin to fly to Dallas you might as well just drive there directly!
