Xi isn't stopping Trump's AI ambitions. Local zoning boards are
As expected, artificial intelligence played a central role in the recent summit with President Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping . Both leaders made clear that AI and the technologies powering it will shape the next era of U.S.-China competition. But for all the ceremony and discussion, no major bilateral agreement on AI emerged. That's probably for the better, as the United States and China are pursuing fundamentally different strategies in a high-stakes race for technological leadership.

Misguided regulations could hand China control of our internet
Loretta Sanchez, Greg Walden To prevent fragmented AI regulation and losing global tech leadership to China, Congress should codify the Trump administration's AI Action Plan into a national framework. Top leaders of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the country's 15 th Five-Year Plan , which features artificial intelligence (AI) as a central strategy to strengthen China's economy and military.
FCC should free broadcasters from old, arbitrary restraints on ownership Original
The same year Facebook launched, Congress and the FCC set an arbitrary 39 percent cap on household reach for television broadcasters. Such ownership limits were created before Twitter, Instagram, Spotify or YouTube had even launched. There were no iPhones or streaming services at that time. This regulation was spawned in an era when access to information was far more limited than it is today. Two decades later, the situation is very different.
First Responders Deserve a Refreshed FirstNet
Greg Walden & Henry Waxman Wed, September 24, 2025 at 11:21 AM UTC 4 min read As former senior members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, we sparred on many policy issues. But we agreed that First Responders needed the most innovative, interoperable communications technology the competitive marketplace had to offer. When a 911 call gets placed, when an emergency siren cries out, when our communities are in their greatest need, public safety communications must work without fail.
China could literally rewrite history using AI — and control the future
Skip to content Imagine waking up to a world where entire chapters of history have quietly disappeared and key facts about important news are simply nowhere to be found. If you search online for details of major events, you’re met with error messages and misleading narratives. If you dig deeper, you run into censorship, or even total lockouts. To those of us fortunate enough to live in the United States, this all sounds like dystopian fiction.
GPS Needs a Backup, Terrestrial PNT Is the Answer
GPS is an incredible technology that has become increasingly important to our day-to-day lives. We rely on GPS for positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT), but it’s so much more than the maps on our phones. It powers much of our nation’s critical infrastructure, including electricity, telecommunications, public safety, and banking.
US-China tech race will determine values that shape the future
Over the past year, artificial intelligence has burst into the public consciousness, rapidly ascending from an obscure tech term to an integral part of our daily lives. It’s an exciting and fascinating rise that offers a glimpse of what is to come. In the coming years, a new wave of cutting-edge technologies — such as quantum computing, machine learning, biotechnology and advanced robotics — will fundamentally reshape the way we live, work and connect.

How the US could surrender the battle for a free internet
For decades, the government has championed the free flow of information across borders, a principle anchored in America’s commitment to liberty and the First Amendment. This stance has been a cornerstone of foreign policy, supported across political ideologies and technologies ranging from word processing to artificial intelligence. But during the recent World Trade Organization negotiations, Washington policymakers veered sharply from this path.

Social Media - “A Cancer on Civility” - #TIS22
Greg Walden sometimes wonders, “Does your mother know you talk that way?” As a former U.S. Congressman for more than two decades from rural Oregon, Walden has noticed a decline in face-to-face civil discourse.
Republicans Should Give States the Lead on Cannabis Laws
In his announcement directing the federal government to review rescheduling cannabis and pardon prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession, President Biden took a first step toward recognizing that the federal prohibition on cannabis isn’t working anymore. However, the president alone can’t fix the conflicts that exist today between federal and state laws. A new Republican majority should clean up this mess by giving states the lead.
Republicans can still retake the House amid a debate over Roe
No matter what pundits think campaigns will debate in the fall, something new always pops up. Witness the leak of the reported draft Supreme Court decision on abortion. While most observers knew this was coming, we still don’t know for sure the scope or release date of the final decision. For campaign strategists the question is this: How do swing voters respond? And will this become THE issue that moves them one way or the other?
The world watches in horror as Russian forces unleash unthinkable terror on the people and cities of Ukraine. The western world thought such vicious invasions were products of the past and that no global leader would undertake such a mission. Meanwhile, fierce Ukrainian resistance, coupled with tough Western sanctions, have backed Putin into a corner, saber-rattling about nuclear, chemical and biological warfare, a reality unimaginable just a few weeks ago.

Operation Warp Speed shows how we come together when times are tough

The Trump administration has known from day one that the federal government couldn’t fight this virus alone.

Supreme Court must prevent uncompensated theft of Western water
The Fifth Amendment protects the right to life, liberty, and property. This week, the Supreme Court should take a critical step to protect the private property rights of farmers and ranchers in the Western states.

Rep. Greg Walden: Green New Deal would cripple economy - Republicans have better way to fight climate change

Communities have shut down entirely, and while officials are following public health guidelines to safely reopen, getting to a new normal will take time.
