WATCH THIS SPACE: 👀This has implications for Congress and legislatures/parliaments all across the globe - how can nonprofits/civil society help government understand how it can deploy AI by prototyping use cases

Good question for any enterprising Congressional reporters to ask: how are Members' offices using AI to analyze the tax bill?

"Amodei agreed to go on the record w a deep concern that other leading AI execs have told us privately. Even those who are optimistic AI will unleash unthinkable cures & unimaginable economic growth fear dangerous short-term pain — and possible job bloodbath during Trump's term"

It is super important for outlets like Axios to cover projected AI trajectories. While much of this is taken as given in tech circles it is still very under discussed in policy circles — & that is essential for helping the public prepare

After talking to reporters on the Congress beat who admitted they either hadn't yet tried GenAI tools like ChatGPT or Claude or weren't sure how it could help them, I teamed up with my amazing colleague, Aubrey Wilson, to create this free training video.

Our new "Claude for Legislatures" video is a 101-style training designed specifically for legislative and parliamentary staff who want to explore how Anthropic's commercially available large language model (LLM) Claude can enhance their work. popvox.org/blog/claude-fo…

Very good to see this bipartisan leadership from House Admin. Committee GOP Committee on House Admn. Democrats chair & ranker Bryan Steil & Joe Morelle The safety & security of elected officials, their families, & staff should ALWAYS be a bipartisan priority.

During disasters, help from federal agencies can be critical—and local Congressional staff are key to making that happen. POPVOX Foundation Deputy Director Anne Meeker delves into the unique challenges these caseworkers face with Federal News Network. federalnewsnetwork.com/congress/2025/…

Well, that will surely spite their face! 👃 rollcall.com/2025/06/27/hou…

Me too! Gives me hope about people making our government work for the people

Especially important this appropriations season! Congress is actively undermining its ability to leverage and oversee AI while simultaneously demanding US AI leadership.

New from Anne Meeker & Kevin Hawickhorst in The Fulcrum: Congress should take advantage of the on-the-ground reporting that comes into district offices every day — Caseworkers (15% of staff!) see hardest cases when Americans have trouble w/ fed programs thefulcrum.us/governance-leg…

Congress should tap caseworkers' expertise for: - Identifying root causes of dysfunction - Spotting emerging problems early - Writing better-informed policy Caseworkers are subject-matter experts, not just customer service. It's time Congress recognized their value.

Right up there among the greatest FOIA-enabled stories

Congressional staffers, it's time to cross “experiment with AI” off your to-do list - no bug spray required! ✅ POPVOX Foundation's AI Summer Camp is a self-led adventure into the wild & exciting world of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). Learn more: popvox.org/camp

Our AI Summer Camp for Congressional staffers is in full swing! 🏕 It's our latest initiative to encourage Members of Congress and their staff to dedicate meaningful time to explore use cases of institutionally approved LLMs. Learn more at popvox.org/camp

Congrats to Rep. Stephanie Bice, Chair of House Admin. Committee GOP's Subcommittee on Modernization & Innovation! 💪

I jumped in with a deep dive on the recent 5th circuit decision overturning the TX challenge to proxy voting during Covid —> The court held that the Constitution’s Quorum Clause does not require *physical* presence

With the recent bipartisan push for proxy voting for new parents that was defeated in the House due to constitutional questions, this ruling could have significant ramifications 👀
