The Great American AI Act discussion draft is a step toward a coherent national AI framework.
But Congress must get the details right—strengthening independent reviews, adopting dynamic compute thresholds, refining protections of people & preemption provisions, & expanding transparency requirements.
ALT A statement about the Great American AI Act emphasizing the importance of AI development and governance, featuring Michelle Lopes Maldonado. The mood is professional and optimistic.

Thank you @ElectedWomen for the surprise honor! I am grateful to be included among fellow women legislators around the country working hard for the people!
Yesterday, I submitted my resignation to the Speaker of the House. Serving the people of District 20 has been the honor of a lifetime. I thank our community, voters, partners, volunteers, & fellow legislators & electeds for their trust in me & for their dedication to Virginians.
We are lucky to live in such an amazing community! Grateful to attend the Vasaki Mela celebration @ the Sikh Center of Virginia & @Habitat_org VA to celebrate the Charles family.
Today, I visited NVCC's Manassas campus to check out their Fab Lab, automotive & welding programs!

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
Today is election day! Polls close at 7pm. If you're in line at 7pm, stay in line to vote!

.@ScVanValkenburg and @MichelleforVA are leading the way to create more housing Virginians can actually afford to rent AND buy.
I was proud to sign their bipartisan bill to cut red tape, build more housing, and put more families on the path to homeownership.
Addressing Virginia's housing crises requires a multi-pronged approach. Glad to help provide solutions to make housing more affordable, accessible, and attainable.

Congratulations to Chair @Lopez4VA, First Vice Chair @MichelleforVA, Second Vice Chair @MartyForUs, Secretary Jessica Anderson, and Treasurer @PhilforVirginia. Looking forward to the important work ahead!
Of the 17 bills that I passed, 13 were signed and 4 were sent down with proposed amendments by the Governor: HB636, HB670, HB675, and HB678.
We've made good progress but have more to do. We're reviewing & will be working hard to get these remaining bills across the finish line!
Good conversations today at the Google-MIT FutureTech "AI in the Economy Forum." From federal legislators, agency heads, researchers, medical/healthcare professionals, educators & more! Special treat was meeting Mike Rowe & learning more abt his support of work in the trades.

Lots of buzz around Anthropic's Mythos preview & cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Created a one pager to help explain what this is about & how it might impact you.
PS - Appreciate how Anthropic disclosed its findings via Project Glasswing to give time to address vulnerabilities.
