You may pay lip service to restrictions, but since you have financial interest in AI, we all know where your vote will go. Unless of course MAGA Mike keeps the House shut down until November. D day. (Democrat Day) Then all the go-along Republicans will be seeking jobs as lobbyists. Maybe you can do that. Don't tell us what you want to do for us with the rest of your term. We know what you have already done to us.
Just because the President is an idiot doesn't mean Congress has to be. Greg if you could think for yourself and stop being a "yes man" maybe you could listen to your constituents and what they want. If the AI creators think there's issues maybe listen to experts and not to the man that's making pocket money from pushing blindly forward with no plan. Greg grow a pair. That's why America must vote blue 💙🔵
