    AI analysis

    Senator Blackburn's statement explicitly advocates for passage of the SAVE America Act, which requires proof of citizenship to register to vote. The bill (S. 5271) amends the Help America Vote Act to require photo identification for voting—a closely related but distinct voter eligibility/verification measure. Blackburn voted yes on the cloture motion to proceed, which is consistent with her public call to pass election integrity legislation. The slight gap in score reflects that the bill's specific requirement (photo ID at polls) differs from the statement's focus (citizenship proof for registration), though both address voter verification and election integrity.

Blackburn, Warner Reintroduce Bill to Increase Transparency of Medicare Advantage Benefits for Seniors

Position: Senators Blackburn and Warner support legislation requiring Medicare Advantage plans to publicly disclose supplemental benefits offered and utilization rates, to improve transparency and enable better evaluation of plan effectiveness.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.), members of the Senate Finance Committee, reintroduced the Medicare Advantage Supplemental Benefits Transparency Act, legislation that would require Medicare Advantage (MA) plans to publicly report the supplemental benefits they offer and the extent to which beneficiaries use them. "Transparency in Medicare Advantage plans is long overdue," said Senator Blackburn. "The Medicare Advantage Supplemental Benefits Transparency Act would ensure beneficiaries receive the full value they've been promised by requiring plans to publicly report the supplemental benefits they offer and how often seniors actually use them." "We need clear and accessible data in order to properly evaluate the effectiveness of the Medicare Advantage program," said Senator Warner."This legislation will make sure we can ensure the sustainability of Medicare and better evaluate plans, so seniors have the best coverage for their needs."

Blackburn, Duckworth Introduce Bipartisan Bill to Counter Communist China’s ‘Gray-Zone’ Aggression Against Indo-Pacific Partners

Position: Senators Blackburn and Duckworth introduced bipartisan legislation to strengthen U.S. capabilities to counter China's gray-zone aggression tactics in the Indo-Pacific through enhanced monitoring, deterrence, and coordination with regional partners.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) introduced bipartisan legislation to improve our nation's capabilities to counter the People's Republic of China's (PRC) intimidation and coercion tactics in the Indo-Pacific, which actively threaten the safety of our partners in the region as well as our national security. Known as 'gray-zone tactics,' these actions are aimed at disrupting regional stability while stopping just short of armed conflict—a dangerous strategy that sets the stage for even harsher intervention by the PRC in the future. The Senators' bipartisan Countering Gray Zone Aggression by the People's Republic of China Act would direct the State Department to enhance cooperation with our Indo-Pacific partners and better address the growing threat of PRC aggression in the region. "Communist China is constantly devising ways to evade detection and act maliciously towards our allies through cyberattacks, economic coercion, information warfare, and other 'gray-zone' tactics that undermine the U.S. and our allies without using open military conflict," saidSenator Blackburn. "This legislation would strengthen our ability to counter the CCP's malign geopolitical interests and its increasingly aggressive tactics in the Indo-Pacific." "Increasing PRC aggression in the Indo-Pacific doesn't just impact our partners in the region—it threatens America's economic and national security," said Senator Duckworth. "We are Pacific nation, and we depend on a free and open Indo-Pacific. As the PRC works to undermine regional stability through its gray-zone tactics, our bipartisan bill would help ensure the U.S. better coordinates with our partners and deters these efforts that pose a real threat to our security." COUNTERING GRAY ZONE AGGRESSION BY THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA ACT The bipartisan Countering Gray Zone Aggression by the People's Republic of China Act would increase U.S. monitoring and deterrence capabilities of gray-zone tactics by the PRC, enhance public oversight of these tactics, and increase cooperation with Indo-Pacific allies by:

Blackburn & Blumenthal Statement on Meta’s Landmark $17 Billion Settlement in Case About Social Media Harms to Kids

Position: Senators Blackburn and Blumenthal support the Meta settlement as a step toward accountability for social media harms to children, but argue that Congress must pass the Kids Online Safety Act to establish permanent, industry-wide protections rather than relying on company-specific settlements.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) released the following statement after Meta reached a landmark settlement with 47 states and agreed to pay up to $17.1 billion in penalties over claims it harmed children with social media addiction: "This massive settlement shows how terrified Meta and Mark Zuckerberg are of accountability in open court. We applaud the bipartisan coalition of state Attorneys General for forcing Meta to start paying a real price for the harm its products have caused an entire generation of young people. The product design changes imposed under this settlement are a first step toward giving kids and parents the tools they need to take back control of their online lives, but they can be strengthened. Meta notes that these terms are only required to stay in place for 10 years—we must ensure permanent change. We also need safeguards that apply across the board—to all social media companies—not just Instagram and Facebook. This settlement once again demands that Congress pass the Kids Online Safety Act into law before the end of the year." Blackburn and Blumenthal are the lead sponsors of the bipartisan Kids Online Safety Act, which would provide kids and parents with better tools to protect themselves online, hold Big Tech accountable for harms to kids, and provide transparency into black box algorithms. The legislation has 75 total co-sponsors and was approved by the Senate in a bipartisan 91-3 vote last Congress.

Blackburn, Colleagues Introduce Bill to End Federal Funding for Harmful Gender Transition Research on Minors

Position: The senators introduce legislation to prohibit federal funding for research on gender transition for minors, characterizing such research as harmful and arguing that taxpayer dollars should not support it.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), James Lankford (R-Okla.), and several of their Senate colleagues recently introduced the Protecting Our Kids from Harmful Research Act to prohibit the use of federal funds for any research or publication promoting gender transitions for minors. The legislation would shield American children from permanent medical and psychological damage, in line with President Trump's agenda to keep tax dollars from funding child mutilation. "Taxpayers should not be spending a penny on research done by those who want to push harmful gender transition surgeries and radical gender ideology on our kids," said Senator Blackburn. "The Protecting Our Kids from Harmful Research Act would prohibit the use of federal funds for any research or study on gender transition surgeries for minors." "Why is the federal bureaucracy in the child mutilation business?" said Senator Lee. "Americans don't want to pay millions for these disturbing studies where hundreds of kids are experimented on with puberty-blocking drugs. President Trump rightly halted this attack on America's kids. Our bill will codify his agenda to keep federal dollars out of gender transition research involving minors." "God creates every child male or female in His perfect image," said Senator Lankford. "For too long, taxpayers have been forced to fund sex-rejecting studies on kids. The result has been irreversible physical harm, mental health crises, and families torn apart. President Trump has led the effort to shut down these grants across the federal government, and Congress needs to make it permanent. This bill ensures that not one more taxpayer dollar funds research designed to harm children." This legislation is also co-sponsored by Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), and Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.). It is endorsed by Students for Life Action and the American Principles Project. PROTECTING OUR KIDS FROM HARMFUL RESEARCH ACT

Blackburn, Blumenthal Press TikTok for Intentionally Withholding Safety Features From Children

Position: Senators Blackburn and Blumenthal are pressing TikTok to answer questions about its practice of withholding algorithmic safety features from millions of users, including minors, in experiments designed to measure engagement impact. They reference their Kids Online Safety Act, which would require social media platforms to prioritize child safety in product design.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) sent a letter to TikTok regarding a recent report that the social media company endangered children by knowingly withholding an algorithmic safety measure from millions of American users to determine whether the safeguard would reduce engagement on its platform. In the letter, Senator Blackburn and Senator Blumenthal requested a prompt response to a detailed list of questions, including whether TikTok conducted a risk assessment before the experiment, what the results of the experiment were, and how many U.S. users TikTok has placed in experiments that withheld safety features. Senator Blackburn and Senator Blumenthal's Kids Online Safety Act would require social media platforms like TikTok to design their products with child safety in mind. New Report Reveals TikTok Conducted Harmful Experiment on 15 Million U.S. Users "According to reports, TikTok developed changes to its recommendation algorithm intended to prevent users from being repeatedly and intentionally exposed to potentially harmful content, including videos concerning sadness, loneliness, extreme dieting, and other sensitive subjects. In December 2021, TikTok publicly announced that it was testing ways to avoid recommending clusters of similar content that could be harmful when viewed repeatedly. TikTok did not disclose, however, its depraved decision to intentionally withhold these protections from approximately 10 percent of its U.S. users—a control group that reportedly represented approximately 15 million Americans at the time… TikTok appeared fixated on whether the safety measure would affect user engagement or the 'stickiness' of the platform —trying to put the price tag on safety. Even more troubling, this control group, presumably intentionally, included minors." TikTok Intentionally Disabled Safety Filters for a 16-Year-Old Who Later Died by Suicide "One of those minors was 16-year-old Chase Nasca. According to an internal TikTok report, Chase was placed into a 'backtest' experiment in January 2022, meaning that TikTok's 'filter bubble prevention strategies did not take effect on this user by design.' In the weeks that followed, TikTok reportedly recommended Chase thousands of videos involving themes of sadness, hopelessness, loneliness, suicide, and self-harm. Chase died by suicide in February 2022. TikTok's own internal review reportedly examined the 7,563 videos Chase viewed during the final two weeks of his life and found that 73 percent contained themes such as sadness or personal struggles, while nearly 10 percent violated TikTok's own policies. TikTok intentionally withheld from Chase the exact safety protections that were developed to interrupt precisely this deluge of abuse." Despite Warning, TikTok Actively Pushed Videos on Self-Harm, Suicide, and Eating Disorders to Children "These revelations are appalling, but they are made even more sinister because TikTok was on notice about the effects of its recommendation algorithms on children. In 2021, we spearheaded a series of hearings examining the repeated failures of social media companies to protect children online. On October 26, 2021, our Subcommittee on Consumer Protection convened a hearing at which TikTok testified before Congress about the safety of its platform. At that time, we raised concerns that social media platforms were prioritizing engagement and profit over the safety of children and that recommendation algorithms could drive young users into increasingly extreme and harmful content. Those concerns were not hypothetical. At the hearing, we discussed reports of children being pulled into algorithmic 'rabbit holes' involving extreme dieting, eating disorders, and other harmful material. TikTok was directly confronted with evidence about the precise danger at issue here: recommendation systems repeatedly serving harmful content to children. At the time, we requested documents from TikTok about its research and data on teenage mental health issues—in response, TikTok sent the Subcommittee screenshots of its website and publicly-available third-party reports. Yet just months later, your company nevertheless decided that millions of users could be denied an available safety protection in order to measure the effect that protection would have on engagement… The reported decision to intentionally withhold an available safety intervention from minors underscores why voluntary promises from companies like TikTok are insufficient and why meaningful transparency and accountability are necessary."

Blackburn & Blumenthal Celebrate Commerce Committee Passage of Bipartisan Kids Online Safety Act

Position: Senators Blackburn and Blumenthal express support for the Kids Online Safety Act, which establishes a duty of care for online platforms to protect minors from predatory behavior, addictive design, and harmful content.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) released the following statement on the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation's passage of the bipartisan Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) by voice vote: "For years, heartbroken parents have demanded Congress take action to protect America's children from Big Tech's exploitation, and today is a major victory for the courageous families who refused to give up," said Senators Blackburn and Blumenthal. "The Senate has repeatedly shown that there is broad, bipartisan support for a version of KOSA that creates a duty of care to protect kids from online predators, addictive algorithms, and harmful product design. We want to thank our large, diverse, and determined coalition for standing with us today, and we look forward to getting this bill to the President's desk."

Blackburn Leads Colleagues in Introducing Bill to Permanently Restore Biological Sex Standard in Title IX

Position: The senators support legislation that would amend Title IX to define sex-based protections exclusively in terms of biological sex, excluding sexual orientation and gender identity from Title IX anti-discrimination requirements.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Katie Britt (R-Ala.), Jim Justice(R-W.Va.), Ted Budd (R-N.C.), Jim Risch (R-Idaho), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), and Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.) introduced the Title IX Clarification Act, which would ensure Title IX anti-discrimination requirements tied to federal education funding are based on biological sex and not "sexual orientation or gender identity:" "The Biden administration weaponized Title IX to force women to compete with men in sports and allow men to invade women's spaces," said Senator Blackburn. "Thankfully, President Trump restored common sense in Title IX, and now Congress must codify these protections for women into law to prevent future abuse. The Title IX Clarification Act would ensure that common sense, not leftist ideology, governs federal education funding tied to Title IX requirements to protect young women." "President Trump has taken decisive action through executive orders to protect young women on campuses across the country. Now, we must ensure these protections are codified into federal law," said Senator Britt. "We saw the Biden-Harris Administration cave to the woke mob and allow Title IX to be abused in ways that permitted biological men to infringe on girls' sports and spaces. We cannot let that happen again, and this legislation will restore regulatory clarity to ensure it does not." "I've been blessed to spend many years coaching young ladies in West Virginia, and I can tell you this: they work their tails off and earn every opportunity they get. At the end of the day, they deserve a fair shot. That's exactly what the Title IX Clarification Act is about. It puts common sense back into the law, protects the opportunities Title IX was meant to guarantee, and stands up for our girls and young women. Fighting for our female athletes is a fight I'll take every single day," said Senator Justice. "We cannot allow the radical left's campaign to succeed in undermining Title IX protections. While far too many activists refuse to acknowledge the differences between biological men and women, I am proud to join Senator Blackburn and my colleagues in this common-sense effort to ensure women and girls continue to receive equal access to educational opportunities," said Senator Budd. "Even after Idaho's historic win to keep men out of women's sports at the U.S. Supreme Court, the rights promised in Title IX remain under threat," said Senator Risch. "The Title IX Clarification Act further guards these protections, clearly defining the biological differences between men and women, so that generations of young girls can continue participating in sports and other educational opportunities on a level playing field." "The original intent of Title IX was to protect women's educational and athletic opportunities," said Senator Crapo. "In a recent decision on Idaho's first-in-the-nation law to ensure these opportunities do not go to biological males, the Supreme Court of the United States correctly ruled Title IX allows states to apply a biology-based understanding of maintaining separate sports categories. The Title IX Clarification Act preserves the existing framework of the law while making clear its protections are based on the biological definition of sex." "Title IX exists for a simple, obvious reason: women deserve their own spaces and proper protection under the law. That has been clear for all of human history, and we only need to clarify it now because of Democrats' radical gender ideology," said Senator Scott. "I'm grateful my daughters had Title IX protection; we shouldn't make it meaningless to appease the radical left. I'm proud to join Senator Blackburn on this commonsense bill." "We need to protect fairness and opportunity for women. For 50 years, Title IX has leveled the playing field. Democrats continuously undermine these protections in their attempts to redefine biology. The Title IX Clarification Act would clearly define an individual's sex is based solely on biology. President Trump reaffirmed this commonsense reality by executive order and now Congress must codify these protections. Passing this bill would keep men out of women's sports, restrooms, and locker rooms," said Senator Ricketts. "The left is weaponizing their radical gender ideology to undermine Title IX, which goes against its entire purpose: to protect women and girls. It's critical we codify President Trump's Title IX protections and match biological reality rather than the left's dangerous gender identity beliefs. I'm proud to work alongside Senator Blackburn to protect women's sports and set the record straight," said Senator Daines. "Boys are boys, and girls are girls - it's common sense. Title IX was created to protect women and girls, and that's exactly what this bill does by making clear that federal law is rooted in biological reality - not political ideology. We owe it to current and future generations to ensure opportunities under Title IX are protected," said Senator Sheehy. House Budget Chairman Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) led introduction of companion legislation in the House of Representatives. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) also co-sponsored this legislation. This legislation is supported by the Family Research Council (FRC); Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF); American Principles Project (APP); Family Policy Alliance (FPA); Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC); and Heritage Action.

Blackburn Statement on Senate Judiciary Committee Advancing Todd Blanche Nomination for U.S. Attorney General

Position: Senator Blackburn supports the nomination of Todd Blanche as U.S. Attorney General, citing his record as Acting Attorney General in prosecuting financial crimes, addressing violent crime, and restoring what she characterizes as impartial justice enforcement.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) released the following statement after voting in the Senate Judiciary Committee to advance President Trump's nomination of Todd Blanche to serve as U.S. Attorney General: "As Acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche has already proven he will hold fraudsters accountable for stealing billions of taxpayer dollars, crack down on violent crime in cities like Memphis, and restore a one-tiered system of justice after four years of the Biden DOJ's corruption under Merrick Garland," said Senator Blackburn. "The American people sent President Trump back to the White House to return the DOJ to its core mission of enforcing the rule of law, and I am confident Todd Blanche will continue to deliver on that mandate once he is confirmed as Attorney General."

Blackburn to Newsmax: Senate Should Remain Until SAVE America Act Passes

Position: Senator Blackburn advocates for passage of the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections, and calls on the Senate to remain in session until the legislation passes.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) called on the Senate to remain in session until it passes the SAVE America Act during an appearance on Newsmax's Wake Up America. Last week, Senator Blackburn led her colleagues in taking to the Senate floor to urge the Senate to pass the bill following President Trump's address to the nation on election integrity. Watch the video Senator Blackburn released on her X account here. Click here to download Senator Blackburn's interview on Newsmax. Click here to watch the video Senator Blackburn posted on X. Sen. Blackburn to Newsmax: Senate Should Remain Until SAVE America Act Passes Brian Freeman Newsmax Senate Republicans are prepared to remain in Washington as long as necessary to pass the SAVE America Act, backing President Donald Trump's call to delay the chamber's planned summer recess until election integrity legislation reaches his desk, Sen. Marsha Blackburn told Newsmax on Tuesday. The Tennessee Republican said on ?Newsmax's "Wake Up America" that the GOP is willing to work weekends, split the legislation into smaller pieces, or pursue any other legislative strategy necessary to enact the bill, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. "Whatever it takes, if it is staying here, if it's breaking the bill in pieces, doing pieces one at a time, whatever we need to do to make certain that we pass the SAVE Act is what we need to do," Blackburn said. "We're all in on getting the SAVE Act passed." Her comments came after Trump urged Senate Republicans to remain in session until the legislation is approved, writing on Truth Social that Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., "should not allow the United States Senate to leave town until it passes the SAVE America Act," while also renewing his call to eliminate the legislative filibuster if necessary. Although Thune has indicated there are not enough votes to abolish the filibuster, Blackburn dismissed suggestions that Republicans are wavering on the underlying legislation, arguing the conference remains united behind strengthening election security. "No one has worked harder than President Trump to make certain that we exercise election integrity," she said. "Those of us that comprise the steering committee, which is the conservatives in the Senate, have been saying for months, we will stay here weekends and until we can get this passed, because we know this is important." Blackburn said she has already begun advancing portions of the legislation individually after leading Senate Republicans last week in an effort to move forward with a voter identification provision. She also highlighted legislation she has introduced that would encourage states to verify voter registration rolls against the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database, which contains information on individuals who are not U.S. citizens and are therefore ineligible to vote in federal elections. According to Blackburn, 26 states already compare their voter rolls against the federal database, while 24 do not. She said expanding that practice would strengthen election integrity nationwide.

Blackburn Leads Colleagues in Introducing Legislation to Keep Biological Men Out of the Daughters of the American Revolution

Position: Senators introduce legislation to amend the Daughters of the American Revolution's federal charter to restrict membership to biological women, opposing the organization's recent adoption of a non-discrimination policy that allows biological males to join.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Katie Britt (R-Ala.),Mike Lee (R-Utah), Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), and Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) introduced the Daughters of the American Revolution Membership Integrity Act, which would amend the Daughters of the American Revolution's (DAR) federal charter by adding a membership eligibility requirement to bar biological men from becoming members. The DAR has made headlines for adding a "non-discrimination" clause that allows biological males to become members. "The Daughters of the American Revolution was founded by women for women, and its founders would be appalled that the organization is now allowing biological males to become members and undermine the legacy of real women who helped build our nation," said Senator Blackburn. "The Daughters of the American Revolution Membership Integrity Act would amend the DAR's federal charter to stop the organization from erasing biological reality and ensure it is reserved for the real daughters of the American Revolution." "The Daughters of the American Revolution are called 'Daughters' for a reason—this organization is meant to honor the legacy of American women and their ancestors, not pander to a distorted sense of reality manufactured by far-left radical Democrats," said Senator Britt."Whether in women's locker rooms or time-honored organizations like DAR, it is our job to protect women and girls in spaces that are rightfully theirs. I'm proud to cosponsor this commonsense legislation." "It's right there in the title: 'DAUGHTERS' of the American Revolution," said Senator Lee. "Congress created this group in 1890 to recognize the American women preserving our history, but their D.C. chapter is now admitting biological men. The woke invasion of every feminine space has to stop – there's already a group for Sons of the American Revolution! Our bill will reverse this needless policy to give the women who built this organization the protection and legitimacy they deserve." "There's a reason the founders of this group named it the DAUGHTERS of the American Revolution," said Senator Tuberville. "They had the common sense to recognize what a woman is; unlike the woke Left that apparently doesn't understand the differences between female and male anatomy. Alabama has over 4,000 members in the DAR, and they shouldn't have to be putting up with this woke nonsense. Amending the eligibility requirements to reflect the founders' vision is something all of my colleagues should be able to get behind." "Daughters of the American Revolution was founded specifically for women to honor our patriotic forbears," said Senator Cramer. "Today's Daughters meticulously research their genealogy to prove direct lineage to the heroes of the past, drawing inspiration from the accounts of the women who came before them. Their stories and heroism are rooted in their lives as women, and as a federally chartered organization, the Daughters of the American Revolution should reflect and honor this biological reality. Our legislation ensures membership eligibility is crystal clear." U.S. Representative Ben Cline (R-Va.) led introduction of the Daughters of the American Revolution Membership Integrity Act in the House of Representatives earlier this month. This legislation is supported by Heritage Action, Concerned Women for America Action Committee, American Principles Project, Senior Legal Counsel of Independent Women, and the Alliance Defending Freedom.
