A White House task force can help coordinate federal AI policy, but only Congress can enact durable federal guardrails. by @repdonbeyer

Trump's vanity arch would create a huge mess for everyone trying to get around the area by air or on the ground.

It’s a recipe for disaster and I will fight it every step of the way. by @repdonbeyer

When I decided to go back to school to study AI, I did so because I recognized how transformative this technology could be.

I’m glad it’s provided me with the expertise necessary to have informed, substantive conversations about how it should be regulated. by @repdonbeyer

DHS violence is out of control.

They are shooting people in broad daylight, pointing guns at U.S. citizens, and terrorizing our communities, including right here in Northern Virginia.

We owe it to the victims and their families to investigate this misconduct and hold these agents accountable. by @repdonbeyer

Today I joined veterans, preservationists, and concerned citizens demanding that the Administration stop construction of Trump's vanity arch.

No one but Trump wants this, so I will not stop fighting against this selfish, dangerous, and illegal proposal until it's gone. by @repdonbeyer

When a law enforcement officer uses deadly force, the agency involved shouldn’t be investigating itself.

We need an independent investigation to ensure accountability, transparency, and public trust in the process.

That must be the standard for the growing number of DHS misconduct cases. by @repdonbeyer

Since I recorded this interview about the Kennedy Center with Susan Davis, we've learned that the Trump Administration refused to do repairs on the roof, then cited the hazard they created as a reason to justify its closure. by @repdonbeyer

Yesterday, I visited East Potomac Park and saw the golfers, cyclists, runners, and families who enjoy this treasured space.

I also saw the Trump Administration tearing apart East Potomac while refusing to tell the public what it is doing, what it has done, or what it plans to do next. by @repdonbeyer

Trump’s arch is illegal and immoral, and the Administration is also under court order requiring 48 hours’ notice before work proceeds.

Yet, Trump wants to push ahead without even the most basic understanding of the consequences of this project.

We won’t let him. by @repdonbeyer

AI-assisted air traffic control should meet basic standards before use.

- Thoroughly test the system and ensure it’s safe.
- Involve ATCs in its development and provide adequate training.
- Be transparent about how the system works and communicate with the public.

That’s the bare minimum. by @repdonbeyer

Yesterday I joined thousands of people outside the Kennedy Center to stand up for the arts and against Trump’s narcissism.
