Last week, free speech champion Elon Musk endorsed the new negotiated text as well as X CEO Linda Yaccarino and Donald Trump, Jr.\n\nClick here to download video of Senator Blackburn\u2019s remarks about KOSA on Fox Business.\n\nSTUART VARNEY: \u201cHouse lawmakers have just weeks to pass the bipartisan Kids Online Safety Act before the new Congress is sworn in. The Senate has already passed this bill with overwhelming majority. This bill would limit who kids can talk to, limit infinite scrolling and notifications, make it easy for kids to delete data, and a whole lot more\u2026 Are there enough votes to get this thing passed now?\u201d\n\nSENATOR BLACKBURN: \u201cYes, indeed. In the House, we have enough votes to get it passed. It is a matter of the Leader and the Speaker in the House actually putting it on the floor and calling a vote. There\u2019s been all these falsehoods about the bill, and we have worked to tighten up protections on free speech. We have addressed some of the \u2018duty of care.\u2019 There is absolutely no reason for the bill not to move forward.\u201d\n\n\u201cStuart, when Elon Musk has signed off on this bill \u2013 he is truly the free speech champion. He bought X to make certain that free speech was protected. And he and Linda Yaccarino, who is the CEO of X, have both tweeted in support. Donald Trump, Jr. has tweeted in support. We need to make certain we put protections in place for our children in the virtual space just like we have them in the physical space.\u201d\n\nRELATED:\n\nBlackburn, Blumenthal Statement on New \u2018X\u2019 Negotiated KOSA Text", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T22:13:55Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.blackburn.senate.gov/2024/12/issue/technology/blackburn-on-fox-business-we-have-the-votes-to-pass-kosa-in-the-house"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1460429523140192, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
