Senator Hawley Press Office shared updates on legislative and political activities involving Senator Josh Hawley via its official Twitter account in late July 2025. The tweets highlighted bipartisan legislative efforts, disruptions during media appearances, and confirmation hearing developments.

On July 22, 2025, the press office announced a new bill introduction: "Exclusive: Hawley and Blumenthal introduce AI protection bill

Hawley: 'It's time for Congress to give the American worker their day in court to protect their personal data and creative works.'" The proposed legislation is co-sponsored by Senators Josh Hawley and Richard Blumenthal. It aims to provide American workers with legal avenues to safeguard their personal information and intellectual property from misuse by artificial intelligence technologies.

Two days later, on July 24, 2025, the press office reported an incident during a live interview with Senator Hawley: "Watch: Anti-Israel Protesters Forcibly Removed from Live Josh Hawley Interview". The tweet links to footage showing protesters being removed from the event.

Shortly after, another update referenced a Senate confirmation hearing involving a nominee for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA): "WATCH: Hawley Secures Pledge from Trump CISA Nom to Ditch the Biden-era Government Censorship Business". This statement refers to Senator Hawley's questioning of President Trump's nominee for CISA leadership regarding government censorship practices established under the previous administration.

Senator Josh Hawley has been active in technology policy debates, particularly around artificial intelligence regulation. Alongside Senator Richard Blumenthal, he has advocated for federal action addressing AI’s impact on labor rights and privacy concerns. These efforts reflect ongoing bipartisan discussions in Congress about updating legal frameworks for emerging technologies.

The events described also come amid heightened tensions surrounding U.S. support for Israel and increased public demonstrations at political events nationwide. Additionally, federal agencies like CISA have faced scrutiny over content moderation policies implemented during prior administrations.
