Republicans snuck an AI regulation BAN into the “Big Beautiful Bill.”

That means companies like Real Page can use AI to get around price fixing laws and RAISE YOUR RENT.

BUT this policy violates the Senate's budget rules.

I'm calling foul — and fighting back to reject it.

if you are unable to pay for veterans' housing and Medicare. if feeding the impoverished and schoolchildren is out of your price range. if you are unable to pay seniors who have made lifetime contributions to social security. How, then, can you afford to spend millions on a draft dodger's parade?

The Senate votes tomorrow on Trump's pick to lead Social Security. Trump and Musk are putting us on a glidepath to privatization, and Frank Bisignano is the yes-man that will help them do it. Republicans will be to blame when seniors and folks with disabilities start missing checks.

"What I'm seeing is a president who is more interested in the valuation of his memecoin than he is about people's 401ks. What I'm seeing is a president who, along with Howard Lutnick – he is self-dealing on crypto ... instead of worrying about the strength of the US dollar."

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
