Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) is set to deliver remarks Thursday morning at a Public Citizen forum focused on combating public corruption. He will be joined by Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) as Democrats ramp up their attacks on President Trump's agenda, corporate power and billionaire influence ahead of the midterm elections.

Meta's move to allow user to create AI images using the likenesses of people with public Instagram accounts is drawing criticism from several camps, including privacy advocates and those who represent celebrities. Why it matters: The backlash highlights a core AI-era fight: whether people should have to opt out of having their faces used in AI-generated content, or whether companies should get affirmative consent first.
