Messing with my new best friend…

This week, I reported on Senators Josh Hawley, R-MO, and Chris Murphy, D-CT, announced bipartisan AI legislation to hold companies liable as President Donald Trump pushes for self-regulation in the industry.

.@RepRaskin on @TheJusticeDept corruption, saying the Trump admin “has turned every facet of our laws and government into a money-making operation for the Trump family and has turned the venerable antitrust division into a pretense and a pay-to-play burlesque show."

[The Capitol Forum @Capitol_Forum]

Closing today’s conference in DC, Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD), ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, sharply criticized the Trump administration’s approach to antitrust enforcement:

“They are making a mockery of our antitrust laws and turning antitrust enforcement into another opportunity for shakedowns and kickbacks.”

Shamelessly asking for likes and comments for my daughter who is up for ZBT sweetheart at @Purdue apparently that helps her cause

My brain is so fried I thought midterms meant the elections and not my two exams I have on Monday.

[Maggie Rhoads @themaggierhoads]

The letter was sent by Rep. Yassamin Ansari. Other signers included Rep. Robert Garcia, ranking member on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and J. Luis Correa, ranking member of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust.

In TMT this week at the @Capitol_Forum, I contributed by acquiring a letter from 44 House Democrats to President Donald Trump calling for an international AI framework.

Earlier this am @SenJudiciaryGOP voted to confirm @TheJusticeDept Antitrust Chief Adam Candeub. He heads to a Senate floor vote next- likely not until after the midterms. @Capitol_Forum

[Maggie Rhoads @themaggierhoads]

Filling out graduate school and fellowship applications has made me realize I have been on some serious side quests these last three years.

[Rebecca Kern @rebeccamkern]

Scoop for @Capitol_Forum - @SenBooker wrote to @TheJusticeDept asking if Antitrust Chief nominee Adam Candeub is working on competition issues, given he’s not even been confirmed in the Senate. DOJ has said he’s been a “counselor” to @AGToddBlanche since he was nominated.

“I don’t think we should be giving these companies antitrust waivers,” @DavidSacks says at @politico Decoded summit. Here for @Capitol_Forum

So on all my trips I tend to get some sort of food poisoning. This last one to Peru I did not and thought I had broken the trend.

But tell me why I have come home a waterborne food illness requiring two medical appointments and antibiotics instead.

🇵🇪 My technically disastrous trip to Peru

Two cancelled flights, one delayed flight, and a nine hour bus ride later, I made it back to the United States
