Later the same day, she announced new legislative efforts targeting artificial intelligence practices. In a post dated December 11, 2025, Jayapal wrote: “ICYMI: My colleagues and I introduced legislation that would put guardrails in place to ensure that AI companies stop using discriminatory algorithms. We will not allow the technologies of the future to harden the injustices of the past.”
Continuing her focus on health care policy, Jayapal warned about an impending deadline for congressional action regarding Affordable Care Act subsidies. On December 11, 2025, she posted: “Congress has just 7 voting days left to pass an extension on the expiring ACA subsidies. Time is running out. Republicans must join us and act to save health care for millions of Americans.”
