We should be working on bills to lower the high costs of living and to address the risks of AI. Many AI bills have been introduced. My AI Kill Switch Act, for example, is a common sense, bipartisan bill. Instead Speaker Johnson cancelled two weeks of session. Ridiculous.

Inflation keeps increasing under GOP policies. Inflation was higher than expected in August. Many Americans are suffering and having trouble making ends meet. What are trump and Republicans focused on? Renaming bodies of water. November is coming.

We need a new defense strategy. Iran war showed the US cannot sustain a war, defend our bases or defend our allies. These flaws came from years of doing the wrong things, from the first trump administration to Biden to now. Acquisitions, tactics/strategy and force postures need to be changed.

Some AI companies have already lost control of their AI models. With every passing month AI models get smarter, faster and more cunning. This is why we need to pass the simple, bipartisan AI Kill Switch Act. Humans need to be able to turn these machines off when they go rogue.

My prayers are with the families of the two U.S. troops killed by Iran, and the servicemember who is missing. trump launched an unconstitutional war with no strategy and no end in sight. Republicans need to join with Democrats to send the War Powers Resolution to the President.
