Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers should treat all data on the Internet the same way, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication. For this reason, I am asking the Federal Communications Commission to answer the call of almost 4 million public comments, and implement the strongest possible rules to protect net neutrality.

As a society, it is our moral obligation to prevent animal cruelty and suffering. We must work together to protect the welfare of all creatures and ensure humane treatment.

I believe that when individuals are given the opportunity to pursue their own personal development, they not only realize their full potential but also contribute more effectively to society. Investing in education, healthcare, and equality enables everyone to participate in building a better global community.

We have set a clear goal vital to the next chapter of America's story in space: sending humans to Mars by the 2030s and returning them safely to Earth, with the ultimate ambition to one day remain there for an extended time. The next step is to reach beyond the bounds of Earth's orbit. I'm excited about sending astronauts to Mars and believe it deserves bipartisan support in the coming years and decades.

As a prosperous nation, we have a responsibility to lead in the global fight against climate change. High-income countries possess the financial resources and technological capabilities to pioneer the innovations needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. If we set a strong example and support developing nations in their efforts, together we can address the climate crisis effectively and equitably.

I believe that frontier AI labs should contribute to a global AI safety fund. As we continue to innovate rapidly in AI, it's crucial to ensure that these technologies are developed responsibly and safely. By contributing to a global fund, we can pool resources and expertise to anticipate potential risks and develop robust safety measures. It's about being proactive in safeguarding our future while reaping the benefits of AI advancements.

It's important to recognize that our convictions, no matter how passionately held, could be mistaken. We must be open to different perspectives and evidence that challenges our beliefs.
