Speaker Johnson is lying.

The Massie-@khanna.house.gov bill has clear protections for the victims. They are trying to responsibly uncover the Epstein files while Johnson is trying to kill the bill and keep them hidden.

Earlier this month, Republicans and Democrats in Congress overwhelmingly voted to reject an AI moratorium that would have wiped out state AI laws.

Today, Trump announced executive actions that include a zombie AI moratorium.

Big Tech and Trump keep putting profits over people.

Last night, Speaker Johnson introduced a nonbinding Epstein resolution that makes Republicans look like they're addressing this crisis while still keeping the files under wraps.

This is a distraction from Rep. Thomas Massie & @rokhanna.bsky.social's petition to release the Epstein files.

Big Tech and their cronies in Congress are still trying to wipe out all state AI laws even as a new poll shows that 87% of Trump voters support guardrails to protect people from AI.

What Big Tech is trying to do with AI is dangerous and wildly unpopular.
