The last thing American politics needs is more deception & distrust. Without strong regulation, AI deepfakes will do more damage to democracy. My bipartisan legislation, the Deepfakes Liability Act, would help stop these deceptions.

A political opponent recently posted a deepfake video of me on social media. It was generated using AI and fabricated my voice and image to put words in my mouth. While it represents a new - and dangerous - low, it was not unpredictable. It just drives home why we need to act now to give people protections against unauthorized AI replicas of their name and likeness. Let’s start by passing my NO FAKES Act.

Rep. Balint Statement on Deepfake Video “This ad is offensive and a dangerous example of what happens when AI is used to deceive voters. Fabricating my voice and image to put words in my mouth is a new low. Free speech is a cornerstone of our democracy, but impersonation and deception are not. This was also predictable and exactly why I introduced the NO FAKES Act—to give people protections against unauthorized AI replicas of their voice and likeness and bring greater transparency and accountability to AI-generated content.”

The negotiations happening now could have happened w/o a war. Indeed, they’re probably harder now. All Trump’s bombs achieved was to make gas more expensive.

The Iran war was illegal on Day 1. It was illegal on Day 61. And it’s illegal today.

America needs to stop fighting forever wars in the Middle East. Congress needs to do its job and stop letting presidents launch wars of choice. I voted for the Lebanon War Powers Resolution today to express both convictions. I support our allies’ right to defend themselves and I support the presence of Embassy security and training missions, but the Trump Administration cannot be trusted with open-ended authority.

The people of Massachusetts’ Fourth District, who elected him 16 times, have always held great affection and esteem for Barney. We will miss him. And on behalf of all of his former constituents, I extend to his family and friends our condolences for his passing and our gratitude for his life of service.

No issue better demonstrates the whiplash from Trump’s reversal on China than TikTok. Trump 1 wanted it under U.S. control. Trump 2 tanked the deal that Congress made possible. Xi Jinping still controls what he calls the ‘smokeless battlefield.'
