Congressman Greg Casar

After deadly floods swept through Texas, we demanded answers. Today, we secured an independent investigation into whether cuts to weather agencies made the disaster worse and make us less safe going forward. Texans deserve answers — and real action before the next disaster.

Airlines should not be able to charge you more for a ticket because they know you Googled “funeral arrangements.” I introduced the first federal ban on surveillance pricing to stop companies from using your private data to jack up prices or lower wages.

"Bank robbers must be responsible for bank safety, Mike Johnson says, not Congress."

30 members of Congress asked OpenAI about more rogue AI attacks. Their answer didn't disclose the truth. If they deceived Congress, that's a big problem. If they didn't know, that's even worse. Their CEO Sam Altman should testify under oath. Congress must act.

Shanah tova to everyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah tonight. I hope families in Central Texas and around the world have a new year filled with love, good health, and quality time together.

Twenty-five years after the attacks on 9/11, we remember the victims, the families who lost loved ones, and the first responders who sacrificed everything to save others. Texans carry their memories with us to this day.

A generation ago, America faced the nuclear revolution and came together to safely regulate it. Now AI CEOs say their tech could be just as dangerous. So Bernie Sanders and I are introducing the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act. We've done this before. We can do it again.

Right now, we're counting on AI corporations to voluntarily block weapons of mass destruction. Voluntarily. Congress must do the obvious thing: BAN catastrophic AI uses like creating biological or nuclear weapons.

Corruption in Washington can feel too big to beat. It's not. People beat it in Watergate, forced politicians to disclose their finances, took on corrupt lobbyists, and limited big money in state elections. It happened because people refused to look away. So keep speaking up.

An Anthropic researcher just quit, warning they're racing to superintelligence. An employee still there agreed, and put the odds of AI killing all humans above 10%. This is an emergency. Congress must convene hearings and pass my and Bernie’s superintelligence ban.

The UK and other allies just imposed a trade ban and sanctions on illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank. This is a step in the right direction and toward ending the occupation. The US must do the same.

Corporations shouldn't get to spy on you and then charge you more than the person next to you. That's surveillance pricing. I have a bill to ban it. Now 30-plus companies are lobbying DC to keep doing it. We can and must beat them.
