We need Congress to cut red tape, reduce capital gains, and pass the big, beautiful bill. Instead, the House is looking into nanny bills?
You may agree with these bills, but I see Rep. Massie’s point. Frankly, I want to see bills enshrining President Trump’s agenda, not this.

S.146: Tools to Address Known Exploitation by Immobilizing Technological Deepfakes on Websites and Networks Act or the TAKE IT DOWN Act
This bill generally prohibits the nonconsensual online publication of intimate visual depictions of individuals, both authentic and computer-generated, and requires certain online platforms to promptly remove such depictions upon receiving notice of their existence.

H.R. 859: Informing Consumers about Smart Devices Act
