“Recent developments involving frontier AI models have further demonstrated the ability of advanced systems to circumvent safeguards, interact with external systems, and substantially enhance offensive cyber capabilities. … These incidents underscore the need for the U.S. government to better understand and address emerging threats before they result in more serious consequences. … We must also continue to improve our understanding of these increasingly complex systems, whose internal processes can be difficult even for experts to fully interpret, predict, and control. [Young, in a letter asking National Security Adviser Marco Rubio to have the National Security Council convene recurring talks with AI developers on AI security threats.]

Re: Five Days After Trump Signs the Russia Sanctions Bill, Rubio Announces That Putin Is Invited to the G20 at Trump's Doral Resort — "We Hope That's an Invitation He'll Accept" — and Republican Senators Answer That Putin Is "a Pariah" Who Should Be Treated "Like the Dictator He Is"Todd Young
Senator (IN)R
“I think elevating Vladimir Putin is not where we should be focused right now. We should be trying to come up with ways to bring him to the table for a serious negotiation.

Re: A Putin-Allied Russian Oligarch Paid for Donald Trump Jr.'s Island Wedding Celebration — the Couple Call It "an Extraordinarily Generous Wedding Gift From a Friend," the President Says "Not a Big Deal!," and Chris Murphy Tells the Senate "Never Before Has a Foreign Enemy of the United States Paid for the Family Wedding of the President"Jim Banks
Senator (IN)R
“[T]he last Russia hoax cost this country years of progress. We are not doing it again over a private citizen's wedding. … Don Jr. is a businessman, not an administration official. There is no evidence he sold access to the presidency.

Re: Eight Months After Threatening to Take It by Force, Trump Announces a Deal With Denmark That He Says Gives the U.S. "Permanent Control Over Security, and All Other Needs, in Greenland" — Rubio Says It "Permanently and Completely Addresses Our National Security Concerns," While Greenland Stays DanishJim Banks
Senator (IN)R
“They said it couldn't be done, but President Trump just proved the foreign policy establishment wrong again. This historic agreement with Denmark and Greenland ensures the United States and our allies will be able to secure Greenland and the High North against our adversaries for generations to come.

Re: The Heads of Anthropic, OpenAI and xAI Agree AI Is Moving Too Fast and Ask Governments to Help Them "Pace the Frontier" — Sanders Says "You Hit the Brakes," the Speaker Says "We Cannot Put a Moratorium on This Because China Will Overlap Us," and Trump Blames "Negative Forces"Pete Buttigieg
Former Secretary of Transportation (IN)D
“There need to be safeguards. There need to be rules. There need to be limits. … [Asked whether AI poses a threat:] Of course. And so do the people in charge of it.
“Neither the Mayor's Office nor any agency within the City-County enterprise has received any communication from federal immigration enforcement authorities regarding current or future operations in Marion County.
“I write to demand information on reports of a surge in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests across Indianapolis, including operations involving masked agents, unmarked vehicles, and a dangerous foot pursuit across multiple lanes of traffic.
“I proudly support all ICE officers in our state today removing illegal immigrants and helping to keep Hoosiers safe.
“At this time, we have no information indicating that federal immigration authorities have formally changed their approach or are specifically targeting Indianapolis.
“Those who obstruct ICE operations in Indiana should be arrested and prosecuted. We will not let Indianapolis become Minneapolis.
“Our city prides itself on being a welcoming community and firmly recognizes the invaluable contributions of all our neighbors.
“Indianapolis is a welcoming city, and we do not want to see fear or disruption affecting our neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, or families.
“These indiscriminate arrests don't make our city safer — they do the opposite, eroding trust in law enforcement, tearing families apart, and leaving children without their parents.
“Masked agents conducting arrests from unmarked vehicles, without appropriate public information about their identity, authority, or mission, creates fear and confusion.
“At the end of the day, we know that those who are serving have to have comfort knowing that they're getting properly taken care of.

Senator (IN)R
“The allegations against him are terrible, and if he's endangering a seat in Congress as we're trying to keep the majority in the House, and he should drop out if he's endangering that seat.
“I’m all for it. We don’t need a recess. Let’s pass the SAVE America Act. It’s more important than taking a break.

“Historic night for Indiana as Republicans stood with me and President Trump to nominate some great America First conservatives.
“I am very disappointed that a small group of misguided State Senators have partnered with Democrats to reject this opportunity to protect Hoosiers with fair maps and to reject the leadership of President Trump. Ultimately, decisions like this carry political consequences. I will be working with the President to challenge these people who do not represent the best interests of Hoosiers.
