Robocalls are rampant these days, especially as artificial intelligence has made it easier for the bad guys to create deep fakes. Yet, the FCC has proposed to address the issues by using AI “for good.” Learn more about the agency’s fight against fraud. spr.ly/6013uenlt

Thank you to Susan Rice for joining me at today’s AARP Global Conference to discuss how population aging will shape the world’s geopolitical landscape – and how we can motivate countries and leading stakeholders to take concrete steps now to plan for #globalaging.

We're excited to see support for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) in the White House supplemental funding request. $6 billion can help keep tens of millions of households connected to work, school, and the doctor—as well as to friends and family—for another year.

The Maui wildfire was an unprecedented tragedy, and kupuna were disproportionately impacted. That's why I'm encouraged to see disaster relief in the just-released White House supplemental funding request. cnn.com/white-house-do…

If you’re getting financial advice, you should be able to trust that your adviser is giving you the best advice for YOU not for THEM. The new Retirement Savings Rule couldn’t be more straightforward. Let’s get it done! m.youtube.com/watch?v=35Nq9Y…

This is such a devastating story and should be frankly terrifying for all of us. This is why we work so hard to reform the guardianship systems in this country to protect older adults and their families. washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/11…

Phenomenal reporting from NYT and KFF on the challenges of children trying to take care of their parents. Our country has to do more to support family caregivers. 'I Wish I Had Known That No One Was Going to Help Me' nytimes.com/2023/11/14/hea…

Thanks to Senator Jacky Rosen and Sen. Lisa Murkowski for leading this important, bipartisan bill to increase access to palliative care. Nobody should be forced to endure pain when we can relieve their suffering. blog.aarp.org/fighting-for-y…

It was heartbreaking to hear David's story -- this is why AARP is fighting so hard to ensure every nursing home in America has enough staff on hand to take care of the folks living in those facilities. Our tax dollars should get what we're paying for!
