Politics
Lawmakers seek GAO probe of DOT passenger privacy
Wyden and Brown are pressing the GAO to investigate the Department of Transportation for decades of inaction on airline passenger privacy, arguing that the DOT’s failure to regulate has left Americans’ data exposed to corporate exploitation, surveillance, and potential foreign interference, with the ARC data broker’s tens of millions of records cited as a key example. They note a 2024 DOT review into airline privacy has yielded no public findings or enforcement actions, and call for proactive audits and accountability as regulators have largely remained reactive.

Lawmakers Seek Tighter Export Controls on Foreign Intel
A bipartisan group of lawmakers is pressing the Commerce Department to finalize rules that close gaps allowing Americans and U.S. companies to provide technology and services to civilian intelligence agencies in China, Russia, and other adversaries, arguing that 2018 laws excluded civilian agencies and 2022 rules remain unimplemented. The push comes amid concerns about national security and forthcoming U.S.-China engagement, with references to past operations like UAE's Project Raven and ongoing scrutiny of export controls and advanced tech like surveillance, cyber, and AI tools.

“It’s time to face the fact that our tax code needs a dose of fairness when it comes to retirement savings, and that starts with cracking down on massive Roth IRA accounts built on assets from sweetheart, inside deals. Tax incentives for retirement savings, are designed to help people build a nest egg, not a golden egg”
