This week, Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi joined FOX alongside Senator Mark Warner to discuss the ongoing danger of TikTok data collection and its harmful algorithm. Congressman Raja told hosts that "TikTok is owned by ByteDance and it has repeatedly clarified even before the Senate when Senate Homeland security committee member Rob Portman very directly asked them, 'Do you or will you commit to not sharing data from the U.S. to ByteDance or anybody in China?' their executives refused to do so."

Congressman Raja wrote an opinion article for Newsweek about increased fraud in the cryptocurrency markets and the importance of protecting consumers. Congress has been trying to better understand and regulate the crypto market, a new and rather volatile sector of the economy. Congressman Raja noted, "As we move forward and consider practical protections for consumers in digital asset markets, it is vital for regulators and congress to recognize the fundamental need to preserve consumer confidence and investor trust."

Recently, Congressman Raja asked federal regulators to conduct a study to review how the Canadian Pacific Railway - Kansas City Southern Railway merger would affect suburban crossings. Congressman Raja has been critical of the suggested merger and spoke to reporters about the potential negative impact it would have on the Chicagoland suburbs. In his letter to the U.S. Surface Transportation Board, Congressman Raja said, "These drastic delays put people's lives and homes at risk - But the draft EIS only considered 28 grade crossings across the entire country, none of which are in Illinois. Between Elgin and Bensenville alone, there are 54 crossings over approximately 20 miles of track, which emergency responders frequently use."

We will continue to bring you news about Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi's work in D.C. and Illinois.
