Donald Trump and House Republicans promised to lower costs on day one. Instead, they gave their billionaire friends tax cuts and left working families to pick up the tab. So when Americans feel pessimistic about the economy, they have every reason to ask: Who is this economy actually working for?

If we’re going to be serious about protecting Americans from the risks of this technology, we need more than dinners and meetings with CEOs. We need AI safety experts, bipartisan lawmakers, and workers at the table.

The momentum around AI is shifting in Congress but we can't pass commonsense legislation from our homes. When Congress returns, we must hold hearings with the CEO's of these companies and pass the FRONTIER Act before another incident happens.

More and more people are waking up to the risks posed by advanced AI models. The time is now to pass durable, commonsense guardrails to prevent those risks from becoming a dangerous reality.

Congresswoman Lori Trahan @trahan.house.gov · 24/09/2026
Massachusetts families deserve the strongest protections from the risks posed by powerful AI models. I’m grateful to @barryfinegoldma.bsky.social for leading the fight to pass serious guardrails. Congress should follow the Commonwealth’s lead and extend these protections to every American.

Proud to secure a significant increase in authorized federal investments for sewer projects in our gateway cities. Now, the real work begins to turn this authorization into funding that can help our communities get these vital upgrades done. (2/2)

For far too long, Washington has passed the buck on costly water upgrades to our communities, even when cities and towns can’t afford them. The result? Decades of delay while sewage spills into our rivers after each and every heavy storm. That isn’t fair. (1/2)

That’s why @housedemocrats.bsky.social are united. Cancel recess. Call a special session. Or at the very least, keep a group of us in Washington to tackle the issues that are top of mind for the people we represent. (2/2)

Trahan: Between the president saying things like “let data reign” or “this is a hoax,” no one is buying that. We all lived through social media and the failure that we did not put more guardrails in place when we had the opportunity to do it, whether that’s around privacy or kids’ design.

If a community and local officials are in agreement and allow a company to build a data center, the company building it should pay for the infrastructure and utility costs — not residents. But this is just one piece of the puzzle. (2/3)

The last thing families need when they’re trying to figure out how to get ahead is a data center driving up their utility bills and making it even harder for them to make ends meet. That is why I voted this week to pass the bipartisan Ratepayer Payer Protection Act. (1/3)

Price tag for Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth's war in Iran: $38 BILLION. That money could've lowered health care costs for 22 million Americans this year, and we’d still have $8 billion left over. Instead, families are being forced to pay more for groceries, gas and their utilities.
