Honored to host Bucha Mayor Anatolii Fedoruk & @repbrock in Albany over the next two days. I met the mayor in Bucha last fall. He’s in the US to urge continued assistance for #Ukraine. Bucha suffered some of the worst atrocities of the war. #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇸 🇺🇦

Absolutely devastating news today about US marine and volunteer medic Pete Reed being killed in #Bakhmut. His ambulance was apparently hit by #Russian shelling as he evacuated civilians. Pete was one of the most remarkable humans I have ever met in my years on the road. #petereed

To all outdoor enthusiasts-- please avoid outdoor adventures, especially in the Adirondack High Peaks. Conditions will be deadly, and you could put yourself and rescuers at grave risk.

AI wrote a bill to regulate AI. Now Rep. Ted Lieu wants Congress to pass it.
The California Democrat, one of a handful of members with computer science backgrounds, wants a nonpartisan commission to recommend new regulations for artificial intelligence.
