The Trump Administration has spent months pushing back against the EU's Digital Markets Act and similar regulations around the world.

Now Congress is considering AICOA—a bill that mirrors many of the DMA's worst ideas.

America should lead on innovation, not copy Europe's

Rebecca Kern @rebeccamkern

New - @SenAmyKlobuchar and @ChuckGrassley have reintroduced their re-worked American Innovation and Choice Online Act tonight.

Does adding more rail regulations automatically make railroads safer?

Not necessarily.

Every new mandate adds costs, delays, and compliance burdens that can reduce investment and slow innovation.

The debate over the Railway Safety Act shouldn't be framed as "for safety" or "against safety."

The real question is whether one-size-fits-all federal mandates will improve outcomes or simply raise costs, reduce flexibility, and slow innovation across the rail network.

China is already stealing American IP at staggering levels.

The last thing Washington should do is make it harder for small inventors to fight back.

Strong patents protect American entrepreneurs, American innovation, and America’s competitive edge.

Inventors Defense Alliance @DefendInventors

Chinese firms steal up to $600 billion worth of US intellectual property each year. Making it harder for small American inventors to fund their cases against behemoth Chinese companies gives foreign patent infringers carte blanche to rob hard-working American entrepreneurs.
