What people think speechwriting looks like vs what it actually is

Great discussion with the Business Software Alliance on building an AI-ready workforce and expanding pathways into cybersecurity, science, technology, and other in-demand careers. By strengthening our schools, community colleges, universities, and public-private partnerships, we can create opportunity in every corner of the country & ensure the next generation is ready to compete and succeed.

“The artificial-intelligence revolution shows that America’s technological progress and skilled workforce are still inseparable.” The future will be built by people, not algorithms. America must ensure we have a trained, talented, and prepared workforce to lead the way.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: HAYDEN HAYNES, @SpeakerJohnson's chief of staff, is leaving his post next month. HAYNES has been Johnson's only chief during his tenure as speaker. He rose with him from the rank and file to the speakership during one of the most tumultuous periods in the history of the modern House. HAYNES has been with Johnson for the Louisiana Republican's entire time in Congress. A wild ride, to say the least..... GARRETT FULTZ will take over as chief. BILL DUHNKE, CHRIS BIEN and COURTNEY BUTCHER will be deputy chiefs.

Bipartisan support for the BUILD America 250 Act, unveiled this past weekend, reflects its critical importance for the nation. By creating a unified federal framework for autonomous trucks, this bill unlocks economic benefits of Physical AI, assures supply-chain resilience and scales safety on America’s roadways.

NOTEWORTHY: Thanks to @RepVinceFong, the bill includes the first-ever federal autonomous vehicle framework 🚗🚙🚕

This is the spirit of bipartisanship that Congress needs 👇

BREAKING: Secretary of State Marco Rubio stresses the critical need for America to strategically navigate its complex relationship with China: @seanhannity : “You view China as our top geopolitical foe.” RUBIO: “Yeah, it’s both our top political challenge geopolitically and it’s also the most important relationship for us to manage.” “We're going to have interests of ours that are going to be in conflict with interests of theirs; to avoid wars and maintain peace and stability in the world, we're gonna have to manage those.”

30 states have now opted in to expand educational opportunity through the Education Freedom Tax Credit. But not CA. Not @CAgovernor. I called on Newsom to opt in back in January, but he’s remained silent. Meanwhile, funding for CA students and CA families flows to other states. It's time to put students and parents above politics. Give our next generation the tools to succeed and opt in!

The House passed H.R. 227 by a vote of 350-5.

NEW: Congressmember @RepVinceFong @vfong (R-Bakersfield) of California's Central Valley describes the chaos at Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner — saying he huddled over his wife as gunshots rang out and confusion spread. Fong's message: "There is clearly a role for debate and a role for disagreement, but there is no justification for political violence," Fong Said.

Reminder: Secret Service has been unfunded for more than 70 days now.

Amanda and I are at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner tonight. We are safe and thank God for the safety of President Trump and everyone else in attendance. We don’t have all the facts but are incredibly grateful for all the brave Secret Service agents and law enforcement officers who ran towards danger to protect others.

“I think that the California high-speed rail nightmare is the probably quintessential example of government waste and mismanagement,” says Rep. Vince Fong, a Republican whose district sits in California’s Central Valley, through which the project is supposed to run. cbsn.ws/41kxw9k
