@RepGaramendi once again leads the charge on common sense nuclear policy changes during HASC NDAA markup. Great to hear @RepSaraJacobs support removing the arbitrary floor on deployed ICBMs!
It’s ok to ask “why” on nuclear weapons and more members should!

HAPPENING NOW: House Floor speeches on New START expiration and the importance of arms control!
@Livableworld champion @RepBillFoster is up first and speaks about the role of Congress in nuclear risk reduction and the importance of science!
🚨NEW 2026 ENDORSEE🚨

✅ supported diverting SLCM-N funds in favor of tuition assistance
Trump: I “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program
IAEA: Most enriched uranium unharmed by war
“IAEA director says roughly 400 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium being stored at damaged nuclear facilities, no way to access it without Tehran’s full cooperation”

@mjgault@JackieGSchneid: Keeping a human in the loop in nuclear decisions is such a resoundingly logical decision...but the devil is in the details... AI can mimic human behavior but it has significant bias, and that bias tends toward escalation. #CACNP2025
"Resilience by autonomy can become escalation by default" says Dr. Jesse Kirkpatrick at #CACNP2025 when discussing AI in nuclear command, control and communications. Poignant and also speaks to the need for additional guardrails on any potential nuclear launch.
@mjgault: We have avoided nuclear war because we've been lucky, but also because we've been human... The real danger of nukes at the dawn of AI is that justified by efficiency in the name of modernization, AI will replace the next Stanislov Petrov.

@ucsrr 100%. We have the responsibility to point out what’s accurate and what isn’t. Unfortunately seeing too many people dismissing it (just like some dismissed Annie Jacobsen’s book).
There are books, films, etc. that are meant to inform and there are ones meant to entertain/provoke thought. Don’t completely dismiss something clearly meant to entertain/start a conversation because you find the premise or details implausible.
We are lighting billions of taxpayer dollars on fire every year and making everyone on the planet less safe in the process. I think nuclear weapons being part of everyday discourse should be encouraged.
