Congress Introduces AI Bill to Tackle Deepfakes and Support Whistleblowers

A new artificial intelligence bill has been introduced in Congress, aiming to address the distribution of deepfake and non-consensual images while also providing protections for whistleblowers reporting AI-related concerns. The bill is sponsored by Representative Ted Lieu, a Democrat from California, who leads a bipartisan House Task Force on AI alongside Representative Jay Obernolte, a Republican from California. The legislation builds on recommendations from the task force's report and is described by Lieu as a non-controversial step forward.

Rep. Ro Khanna Asserts President Trump Unlikely to Obtain Congressional Approval for Iran Military Action

Rep. Ro Khanna, a Democrat from California, expressed skepticism about President Trump's ability to secure congressional authorization for continued military operations in Iran. This statement comes as a key War Powers deadline approaches, which will determine the legality of ongoing military actions. Khanna's comments were made during an interview on Meet the Press, where he highlighted the challenges President Trump faces in gaining the necessary congressional support. The War Powers Resolution requires the President to obtain congressional approval for military actions lasting more than 60 days, unless Congress has declared war or granted an extension. The upcoming deadline is critical as it will dictate whether the current military operations can legally continue without explicit congressional consent.
