Important #GPS hearing now by @HouseCommerce Subcommittee on Communications & Technology. Blistering testimony re: #NextNav from @HaroldFeld of @PublicKnowledge … “Public Knowledge, like virtually every other participant in the FCC’s PNT Docket, opposes the NextNav proposal … (it) would do incredible damage to a wide range of commercial operations, public safety systems and federal users, both in the proposed use band and in surround bands, by creating destructive interference to Part 15(9) unlicensed devices and neighboring licensed devices. It also would require years to develop the necessary 5G standards, and then more time to bring NextNav ready devices to market – assuming they are developed at all.” #spectrum @FCC @RepRichHudson @DorisMatsui Full hearing here: https://t.co/8DBoywqoEh

2 of 2 “a stronger valence in the languages of countries with lower media freedom than in those with higher media freedom…State control of the media in many countries is already reflected in the training data of common commercial #LLMs and is currently influencing the responses of these models.”

1 of 2 … ICYMI: An important study in @Nature from @NYUniversity researchers re: how state media in China + elsewhere is able to influence what #AI models say especially when queries are in the state’s native language. Key find: https://t.co/uFgd3gxula

An especially notable development from @POTUS #AI #EO today … within 30 days key executive agencies “shall form an AI #cybersecurity clearinghouse, in voluntary collaboration with the AI industry and operators of critical infrastructure, that coordinates and deconflicts scanning for software vulnerabilities, discovers and validates such vulnerabilities, and coordinates and prioritizes remediation and distribution of vulnerability patches.”

The proposed @UnionPacific-Norfolk Southern rail merger would create America’s first transcontinental #railroad and strengthen national security. Lexington’s Mac Carey discusses this in an Op-Ed in @InsideSourcesDC @nscorp @STB_Newsroom @US_TRANSCOM https://t.co/FXTbPr9odk

[InsideSources @InsideSourcesDC]

The Railway Merger That Will Strengthen National Security "The Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern merger will not only result in continental service, but it will also make America’s rail system more capable, resilient and competitively global."

1 of 4/Some will say it does not make for “good television” to have a hard-working #electrician discuss how #DataCenters have dramatically improved his life, that of his family, and his fellow workers. But Josh Price’s story is important and kudos to WTRV in Richmond, VA ….

Kudos to @POTUS and yes indeed. $700 billion in #AI CapEx investments in 2026 alone means lots of jobs, including for college grads, and booming economic activity.

JUST IN: President Trump dismissing growing fears and public anxiety over Artificial Intelligence disrupting the job market throughout the country.

"I'll tell you, AI has been amazing, because right now we have more jobs, more people working right now in the United States by far, than we ever had before."

On the 1-year anniversary of the #TakeItDownAct being signed by @POTUS – a reminder both parties + chambers can work on sensible #AI legislation, per @SenTedCruz statement below @AmyKlobuchar @RepMariaSalazar @JayObernolte @RepLoriTrahan https://t.co/rLic2vounE

[Paul Steidler @PaulSteidler]

Amen to @juliebarrett take. #AI is already empowering hard-working folks to be more productive + earn more, driving medical cures, and cutting through medical + legal jargon so Americans can better take charge of their health + legal situations at lower costs. Keep regs light!
