Everyday life for the middle class is getting more expensive. To earn the trust of the American people, policy makers need to turn their attention to our 5 tickets🎟️to the middle class:
1. Retirement
2. Child Care
3. College
4. Housing
5. Health Care

America has a child care supply problem—more than 4.2 million kids lack access to a formal care slot. The recent bipartisan Child Care Modernization Act is a meaningful step towards closing that gap. See more child care solutions here: thirdway.org/report/nine-ide…

Training needs to be a much bigger part of the AI debate. The question isn't just what AI can do, but how we equip workers with the skills to thrive alongside it. wsj.com/tech/ai/meta-launche…

The bipartisan framework from @RepLoriTrahan and @JayObernolte is an important contribution to frontier AI governance. We may not support every provision, but we commend their leadership. Congress must address AI’s opportunities and risks.

Proud to endorse @RepSaraJacobs bill. Regulating AI doesn’t mean starting from scratch. It means modernizing the rules we already have to keep pace with new technology.
I just introduced the most ambitious and practical AI governance bill in American history.

Important work. Worth a read.
Democrats’ Techlash Trap:
Our new report out today examines how the Biden Administration moved away from Democrats’ legacy as a party of innovation, and how the administration’s adversarial posture toward tech created policy and political costs.

The U.S. 30-year Treasury yield just jumped above 5.19%—the highest level since the run-up to the financial crisis.
That sounds like a markets story. But it’s really a warning sign for the broader economy. 1/

Excited to see bipartisan momentum behind a practical idea to help new parents better afford the real costs of having a baby. 👶
We’re proud to endorse the Supporting Newborn Parents Act from @RepTomSuozzi, @RepDavidValadao, @RepBlakeMoore, and @RepDebDingell.

The last thing new parents should have to worry about is how to pay for a hospital bill or a car seat.
This bill would provide timely, flexible relief to ease the financial burden on families and help parents focus on welcoming their newborn. valadao.house.gov/news/docum…

Many early childhood educators buy school supplies on their own dime. The bipartisan SEED Act helps teachers get part of that money back at tax time—a helpful boost for some of the country’s lowest paid workers. Read challenges child care staff face here⬇️ thirdway.org/report/explaini…

The CREATE AI Act is a no-brainer.
NAIRR would expand access to the tools innovators need to lead on AI--boosting competitiveness and spurring breakthroughs here at home.
Kudos to @SenToddYoung @SenatorHeinrich @SenatorRounds & @CoryBooker for their dedication to this work.

Today, I introduced the CREATE AI Act to connect U.S. researchers and educators to advanced AI tools, data, and computing power.
This bill, part of the White House’s AI Action Plan, will give America’s tech innovators resources to ensure we out-innovate China.

The government shouldn't be able to buy its way around the Fourth Amendment. Kudos to @SenatorDurbin and @SenMikeLee for their bipartisan call to close the data broker loophole, which would protect our privacy without sacrificing security. nytimes.com/2026/04/17/opini…

When I became a dad, I was blown away at how all the essential things you need: bassinet/crib, car seat, stroller, bottles, snot sucker etc added up $$.
@repkmr's new bill would make a big difference for working new parents.
Bringing home a baby is the most magical moment of a parent’s life, but it is also the most expensive. Today, I’m unveiling a NEW TAX CUT that would put $5,500 back into the pockets of working parents.
Not only would this help pay the bills, but it’ll make sure kids have every opportunity to thrive.

💰Funding the IRS to improve & do its job is low hanging fruit in revenue policy. Further, rebuilding the IRS will improve customer service & make it better for taxpayers. Thank you @SenAngusKing and others for the Stop CHEATERS Act to fully fund the IRS. king.senate.gov/newsroom/pre…

Americans deserve a health care system that works for them, not against them. That’s why we need a health care bill of rights.

Proud to join leaders in tech, education, and labor backing this bill from @MarkWarner and @SenatorRounds. AI moves fast—Washington doesn’t. This commission of outside experts is a smart first step to help U.S. workers thrive in the future economy. axios.com/2026/03/11/warner-…

Hard to take this op-ed from @RepGuthrie seriously.
Last week he and @HouseCommerce doubled down on their gutted version of KOSA, folded it into a Frankenstein package, and forced it through on a partisan vote.
And now they're claiming victory?

If the goal is durable laws that survive court challenges, blowing up bipartisan consensus isn't the way to get there. Kids and parents deserve better.
