@CTATech backs bipartisan work in Congress on AI. Representatives Obernolte and Trahan are moving the ball by pushing a national framework instead of fifty sets of rules. If we want trusted AI built in America, we need clear, simple guardrails so innovators can build, compete and win here at home. https://t.co/C5fRZ70Ab6

Honored to see @CES named among Trade Show Executive’s Gold 100 alongside so many great shows. CES is all about helping innovators reach customers, partners and ideas they cannot find anywhere else. Grateful to our exhibitors, attendees and @CTATech team who make this show possible. https://t.co/Vvmc8F3yec

Credit where it’s due. @RepLoriTrahan is doing what voters want: bringing people together to solve hard problems.
More of this please.

CES 2026 showed how sophisticated today’s robots are. Now Nvidia, Unitree and Sharpa are teaming up on humanoid robots that can do real work in real settings. That is the future on display and a preview of CES 2027: innovators joining forces and using AI to help people live safer, healthier, more productive lives.

@CTATech and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit agree! The fee on new H-1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers is an unlawful tax Congress never authorized.

AVs can save lives and cut congestion all while opening up safe, reliable transportation to more people. We should write rules that welcome this innovation, let companies test and compete and help AVs earn the trust of American drivers! https://t.co/OI5yYfkTfU

“Protecting and strengthening GPS resilience is not just a tech debate. It is an economic and national security imperative.”
America’s competitiveness, security and critical infrastructure rely on resilient GPS and PNT. Strengthening these systems means backing innovators and letting competition deliver the next generation of solutions. Important testimony from CTA’s J. David Grossman. https://t.co/vtltT9ERMS

Proud to share @CTATech’s @JDGrossman’s written testimony before Congress today on GPS/PNT resilience and American innovation leadership. https://t.co/aF3ISJ37Fz

To all 2026 graduates (including my own son): stay curious, make a strong first impression, connect people, and never miss a chance to thank the teachers and family who helped shape you. Gratitude is not just a feeling. It is a habit. And it can change your life. I share some thoughts on LinkedIn: https://t.co/On31nb6cmw

Energy dominance fuels innovation dominance. CTA’s energy policy calls for modernizing America’s grid, streamlining permitting, embracing an all-of-the-above energy strategy and using technology, including AI, to drive efficiency. To lead in AI and the next era of innovation, America must have reliable, scalable and affordable energy. Read more: https://t.co/2VOvERqJmM

Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice protects the freedoms that allow America to lead, innovate and pursue a better future. On Memorial Day, we remember them with gratitude and respect.

“Failure is the great educator.”

That is one point I shared with Robert Reiss for his Forbes piece on the entrepreneurial mindset. Constant success can breed arrogance. Failure teaches humility and resilience. That is true in business, in leadership and in life.

The AM radio mandate in the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act moves us  in the wrong direction. Consumers should decide in-car entertainment and communication options. Mandating legacy tech  in every vehicle raises costs, freezes innovation, and discourages better alternatives.

[Gary Shapiro @GaryShapiro]

In case you missed it: @CTAtech hosted CPSC Acting Chairman Peter Feldman at Innovation House for our latest Conversation with a Commissioner. Watch the discussion on consumer safety, affordability, AI-enabled tools and how clearer guidance can help American businesses innovate. https://t.co/2knFhlVFfM

CTA supports the CLARITY Act and its effort to establish clear rules for digital assets. From digital currencies to the blockchain technologies that power them, digital assets are becoming a major part of the U.S. economy and will shape the future of financial innovation.

[Gary Shapiro @GaryShapiro]

@TIME asked 25 tech leaders what defines this American moment. These leaders and I agree: the best innovations expand freedom, choice and opportunity. From AI to smartphones, rockets and even bicycles, tech keeps changing how we live, work and build. https://t.co/wmq8oq6it9

Registration is open for CES Unveiled Milan. Europe is vital to the future of technology, and Milan is the perfect place to spotlight the innovators shaping what’s next. Excited to bring the Road to CES to Italy on Oct. 21 as we build momentum toward CES 2027. https://t.co/GolF8eoPTw

Imagine a law to save more than 30,000 American lives and millions of hospital visits annually, while empowering disabled and older Americans. Congress now has the chance to do what China, Europe, and Japan began years ago: create a national law enabling self-driving cars nationwide. Read more in my latest op ed: https://t.co/V4AtlpeN5k
