This is a good start, but we should just abolish porn entirely.

Agreed! Push it Ted!

Can you also ban porn while you're at it?

I have never trusted AI & hate that it's taking over!!! Dangerous tool!

The only problem with the other side of the coin is this. If there is a video which is not an AI faked video capturing something of someone in power or a politician doing something that is illegal or immoral, the government would be able to very quickly force that video to be removed from the Internet completely.

Well done Ted let’s get this passed!

Yesterday, I was joined by First Lady Melania Trump, Speaker Johnson, Leader Scalise, Members of the House, and victims of AI deepfakes. My bipartisan legislation, the TAKE IT DOWN Act, passed unanimously in the Senate. We need to get this bill on President Trump's desk—every day, more and more Americans are impacted by AI-generated deepfakes.

In June 2024, I introduced the TAKE IT DOWN Act after Elliston Berry and her mother came to my office asking for help to remove an AI-generated deepfake. The Take It Down Act passed the Senate 100-0. Now, we must work to pass this through the House and on to President Trump's desk.

Earlier this week, I co-hosted a roundtable with First Lady Melania Trump to advocate for my legislation, the Take It Down Act. The Senate passed my bipartisan legislation unanimously, 100–0. It now goes to the House before being sent to President Trump's desk. This legislation will protect all Americans.

Last year, Elliston Berry and her mom came to me with a request: Can you get Snapchat to take down this AI-generated deepfake nude. I got it TAKEN DOWN—then got to work. I drafted bipartisan legislation to require social media platforms to remove these images in 48 hours and make posting them a federal crime. Now, the TAKE IT DOWN Act is moving fast: ✅ Reintroduced as Senate Commerce Republicans Chairman ✅ Passed committee unanimously ✅ Passed Senate 100-0 ✅ First Lady Melania Trump joined me for a roundtable calling on Congress to prioritize the passage of the TAKE IT DOWN Act ✅ House leaders pledged swift action Now, the House must move fast to get this bill to President Trump's desk.

The Senate unanimously passed the ROTOR Act, but progress on the legislation stalled after the Pentagon reversed its stance on the legislation. Today, I questioned the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on the Pentagon’s concerns with the ROTOR Act & finding consensus to pass these critical safety requirements into law.

~87%+ of Americans agree. Only citizens should vote. We passed the SAVE Act twice now in the House (with Dems Votes). The Senate must take it up and pass it #SAVEAct

Elliston Berry is a constituent of mine from Aledo, Texas. She was the victim of AI-deepfake nonconsensual images. For months, she fought to get the images removed from social media. This was unacceptable — it shouldn't take a phone call from a sitting Senator for this filth to get removed. She's the reason we introduced and passed the TAKE IT DOWN Act. My bipartisan bill passed in the Senate unanimously — it needs to be taken up in the House so it can be signed into law. We need to pass this important legislation so girls like Elliston don't have to live in fear.

In January, I introduced the MEDAL Act, legislation to raise the monthly pension for Medal of Honor recipients. I’m glad that the Senate has passed it unanimously, and it now heads to President Trump’s desk. My full remarks, here:

We are racing against the clock to pass the TAKE IT DOWN Act. It unanimously passed the Senate and it is now the House’s responsibility to pass it. AI generated deep-fakes are a gross violation of privacy — social media companies must remove the images upon user request.

My bill, the bipartisan TAKE IT DOWN Act, just passed the House with near-unanimous consensus. This landmark legislation will be sent to President Trump's desk to be signed into law. The TAKE IT DOWN Act protects all Americans from AI-generated nonconsensual imagery and requires social media companies and websites to remove such content within 48 hours upon request.

Last January’s fatal DCA crash was preventable. It’s why I authored the bipartisan ROTOR Act. It mandates that all aircraft have ADS-B technology and have it turned on, so that other aircrafts and ATCs can monitor location in realtime. It passed the Senate unanimously, and I’m confident the House will pass it to put on President Trump’s desk in January.

I teamed up with Senator Amy Klobuchar in authoring and then passing the TAKE IT DOWN Act through the Senate. This important legislation will criminalize the publication of AI deepfakes, and will also force social media companies and other websites to remove the content. The House needs to pass our legislation ASAP.

I get asked about my Sunshine Protection Act all the time. It’s simple: Let’s leave the decision up to the states so we don’t have to change our clocks twice a year. I’m thrilled that the house has finally passed it. The Senate needs to take it up NOW and send it to President Trump‘s desk.
