Thanks for flagging, I appreciate it. I’ll have someone poke their folks and let them know. Seems like a mistake on their end. Piece contains actual author in the byline of the piece.

YouTube video by Consumer Choice Center Starmer's "Digital ID" for UK, A Consumer Privacy Nightmare

The “Brit Card” won’t fix illegal immigration.

However, it will normalize government overreach, create a privacy nightmare, and erode the civil liberties that Brits should never have to trade away.

This proposal deserves a hard no!

Full interview: youtu.be/zfFZjlxNT3U?...

PM Keir Starmer just unveiled his plan for a mandatory digital ID, the “Brit Card”, to curb illegal immigration.

Last night on @gbnewsonline.bsky.social The Late Show with Beverley Turner, I broke down why this proposal is flawed, risky, and ripe for overreach.

Thanks for having me!

Wyden and Biggs Urge New Intel Chief Gabbard to Protect Americans’ Communications From Foreign Surveillance | U.S. Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon The Official U.S. Senate website of Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon

Also deeply appreciate Rep. Biggs and @wyden.senate.gov for penning a letter to DNI Gabbard on this issue back in Feb. www.wyden.senate.gov/news/press-r...

JD Vance 'directly' convinced UK to drop Apple backdoor data demand, protecting Americans' rights: US official Vice President JD Vance negotiated with the U.K. government to drop demands for Apple to provide backdoor access to encrypted user data and iCloud services.

Credit where credit is due. This is excellent work by @jd-vance-1.bsky.social and the Trump admin. The U.K.’s backdoor demand to Apple was ludicrous. We shouldn’t allow governments to undermine encryption tech. www.foxnews.com/politics/jd-...

The UK Shows How Not To Do Online Age Verification | Opinion We can protect children without sacrificing the foundational principles of a free and open internet.

Today, I debuted in @newsweek.com discussing the U.K.’s disastrous rollout of the #OnlineSafetyAct. The entirely predicable outcomes should serve as a cautionary tale for lawmakers here in the U.S. looking to advance similar ideas. #ageverification www.newsweek.com/uk-shows-how...

it be like that

A cool moment for me yesterday when I was testifying on behalf of Americans for Prosperity to the House Judiciary Committee on “a continued pattern of government surveillance of U.S. citizens.” The government has abused its powers for far too long. Time for change!

Amazing news!! James is precisely the right pick for this and I'm looking forward to tuning in!!

Pretty surreal moment! Next week, I’ll be testifying to the house judiciary committee to discuss #government #surveillance of U.S. citizens. A very timely and important conversation given #FISA is up for reauthorization in 2026. judiciary.house.gov/committee-ac...

Given the state of affairs, it’s understandable that folks might be wound up tight. But perhaps we could all benefit from a collective chill pill. Can’t be snapping at every little thing. It’s exhausting, and that energy is better served for actual fights that lie ahead.

From the recent order in NetChoice v. Bonta, again we see courts leaning on the 'black box' theory, suggesting AI makes its own decisions. This Court quietly notes in a footnote that AI hasn’t reached such capabilities, but that's critical when evaluating the expressive aspects of the algorithm.

When I was back home over the holidays, i took my Camaro for a car wash, saw this beauty just ahead of me 😍. The suicide doors were epic! What an incredible vehicle!

I am contractually obligated to remind you that if you back that cool looking Supreme Court card game, you *also* have to back our very cool social media card game.

Oh, look. Mike Turner complaining about *checks notes* surveillance of MOC and their staff?!? I’m so shocked (NOT)! . During the #FISA reauth fight, he opposed meaningful reforms that would protect not just MOC & staff, but Americans writ large.

TGIF guys. Weekend is a welcome sight.

Say what now?!? Aw hell no. Not cool.

Can’t believe my #gaming rig is 5 years old now 🥹. It has served me well. It’s still performing as well as it did when I first got it.

Another reason...they are not fascists. You might disagree with them, but neither Trump nor Musk are fascists.

Nancy Mace's signature accomplishment since getting elected to Congress is her influence on Capitol Hill bathroom policy. Her second most impactful accomplishment was renaming a post office.

I know that he's not doing it for good or principled reasons, but it is worth noting that Elon Musk is right to sue California to block its obviously unconstitutional deepfakes law.

Traveling back from Kansas and saw this on the walk to the gate. No lies detected.

On #TheFinal5 at 11:30: Britt Hogue talks about times of transition and what we can learn from the transfer of power; plus Josh Lazafan talks about the aftermath for Dems following Election Day. On air or on fox5dc.com/foxlocal.

Listen at 1.5-1.75x to expedite the time component. I also tend to listen to them while I’m working out so I have a couple things going on.

I honestly had a great exchange explaining how such a program, coupled with zoning reform, can help streamline the process of constructing new housing, something that can help make the American dream attainable again!

Had a blast testifying in Kansas today to the interim committee in the state as they were exploring pursuing legislation around a regulatory sandbox. I hope the sunflower state is the next to adopt such an innovative policy!
