While the dramatic public feud between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk plays out, Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act quietly hands Starlink and satellite internet providers a potential multimillion-dollar payday. New from @meganshahi: https://t.co/NtE3KMZ0G7

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married?

Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote.

Call your rep—this is not a drill. https://t.co/P7CcCnFTk1

On the eve of the election, the intelligence community says Russia continues to be the biggest foreign malign actor attempting to influence US elex.

They also confirm our @scrippsnews reporting that Arizona was targeted by a Russian created/disseminated video in last few days.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

I’m concerned by foreign adversaries’ efforts to sow mistrust in our elections, but I’m even more disappointed that public figures are using their huge platforms to spread them & other disinfo. In these final days, get your news from trusted outlets, not the chronically online.

Tim Walz, running in Central Park. I love this guy. 🙌🙏💪👏👊🌊🇺🇸

Today for @CAPAction I document @KamalaHarris's record on tech and why she's poised to ensure the US continues to invest in emerging tech. @KamalaHQ https://t.co/gJemZDN4d2

None of the six leading AI developers have implemented adequate safety measures as they race to deploy products that can pose a large risk to the public. They must do better.
From @MeganShahi and Anastasia Dodd:

“The reason these companies are limiting or removing transparency tools at such a crucial time for the information ecosystem is clear — they want to avoid accountability. Why is Congress letting them?”

Massive tobacco conglomerate being a program partner for a kids online safety event was not on my 2024 bingo card but here we are: https://t.co/mjAyKxj1dy h/t @vaishnavi for the link.

Need someone to look at me the way Kamala Harris looks at a little sweet treat

[Megan Shahi @meganshahi]

Yet another reason we need transparency for platforms. Read today's @washingtonpost Tech Brief for my analysis on the undisclosed Trump campaign ad on X. https://t.co/m95TPwj5Bg

[Center for American Progress @amprog]

This week Sen. @ChrisCoons joined CAP to discuss the critical need for transparency in social media, especially ahead of U.S. elections this fall.

In shutting down Crowdtangle, @Meta is taking away one of the best tools researchers and journalists have to combat misinformation.

[Center for American Progress @amprog]

Yesterday we were joined by @DaveyAlba of Bloomberg @technology to speak on the importance of CrowdTangle and how @Meta sunsetting the social monitoring program will hinder good journalism.

[Megan Shahi @meganshahi]

Join @amprog online on Mon 8/12 at 1pm ET as we shed light on the impact of Meta’s imminent CrowdTangle shutdown, featuring remarks from Sen. @ChrisCoons and an all-star panel of journalists, academics, and more! @bgeurkink @daveyalba @NateTheDoctor

[Megan Shahi @meganshahi]

Very excited to see a continuation of this important work, and that too at the highest levels of government. Now more than ever, we can't afford to let up on the gas and must continue to press for greater transparency and accountability.

[Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons]

Yesterday @SenBillCassidy and I, along with 15 of our colleagues from both chambers of Congress, sent a bipartisan letter to @Meta urging it to continue access to CrowdTangle, an important tool for understanding how social media platforms are affecting us in various ways.
