Not a political statement at all, nor should it be taken as such, but this is something that every candidate from either party should be discussing. @google and @facebook have zero transparency and no oversight. It’s time that our government took a stronger stance towards tech. https://t.co/BqzFRetAND

Over the last 20 years, lobbyist spending has skyrocketed. At the same time, Congress has been starved of resources to objectively analyze complex public policy issues, leaving corporate lobbyist propaganda to fill the gap. I've got a plan to fix that: https://t.co/CA0CuaSgZK

Excellent @kellymakena on Warren's plan to bring back the Office of Technology Assessment — one of the reasons Congress is so bad at tech is that it literally doesn't employ anyone whose job it is to figure it out. https://t.co/LDZ7T37JTp

This @ewarren plan shares a thesis with a report I wrote: that Congress doesn’t have the resources it needs to be effective, particularly on complex science & tech issues.
— Mike Miesen (@MikeMiesen) September 27, 2019

the question is, and always will be, whether OTA and/or GAO can resist what is essentially intellectual capture by industry, and i'm not sure i've read much from academia on the kind of setup that's best suited to withstand that https://t.co/24tVbW8f3l

One of her best plans yet. "Lobbyist" has basically been shorthand for "political corruption" for my entire life, and it's kind of incredible that we've put up with them for so long. https://t.co/O1D6K2Id70

Since then, though, one note: GAO got more $$ from Congress to do tech assessment, so some functionality exists. https://t.co/24tVbW8f3l
”In a move to correct the imbalance of power between technologically sophisticated corporations and the lawmakers who regulate them, presidential candidate Senator @ewarren is proposing that Congress reinstate the Office of Technology Assessment.”

This plan is so smart, so obvious once stated: Congress needs to be able to evaluate complex issues independently. They don't have the resources and expertise to it. This makes lobbyists even more absurdly powerful. Let's fix it. Read it here:#TeamWarren https://t.co/67MzasgdVE

.@ewarren will strengthen Congress' independence from lobbyists. She'll end lobbying as we know it, and her plan linked here goes even further to make Congress truly independent from lobbyists.
