senate 07/31/2025 - 119th Congress

We are working to ensure the security of the U.S. electric grid by directing a federal report to identify risks from internet-connected home appliances controlled by foreign entities, aiming to prevent potential disruptions or attacks. This will help guide policies to protect our critical energy infrastructure from manipulation through smart devices.

Finally, some muscle to keep China’s spies out of our electric sockets—about time we put America first.

Smart devices, dumb move—this law shuts down Chinese digital Trojan horses before they fry our grid.

Good to see Congress looking out for grid security—hope the report isn’t just another paperweight.

National security is key, but don’t let fear of foreign tech distract us from investing in clean, equitable energy.
