The administration is threatening access to historical and irreplaceable records, including closing down one facility in California that is home to countless photos and family heirlooms. Congress must exercise its oversight power to save decades of regional and national history.

Eight years since the Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, ordered the brutal torture and murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and no one in the Saudi government has been held accountable. (We may even help them with a nuclear program.)

Over 50 years ago, Congress passed the Endangered Species Act with a unanimous vote in the Senate. Senators banded together across party lines because doing our part to help species survive and reach recovery must be a bipartisan cause.

I’m proud to lead Congress's first push for a federal film tax credit alongside Senator Tim Scott. Our bill will create thousands of jobs and reassert the United States' leadership in film and TV production. There’s no better partner to have in this fight than Senator Scott.

Film and television production is a proven catalyst for economic development, regional tourism, and job creation. And in order for the U.S. to maintain its standing as a leader in the film and television production industry and spur more American jobs, we need a federal film tax incentive.

The scope of frontier model misalignment is staggering. The past month has exposed how public admissions are just the tip of the iceberg. AI agents have colluded, escaped their sandboxes, hacked other companies, meddled with government portals — and that's just the ones we know about.
