Darrell Issa

FACT: For five decades, Americans on American soil have shed blood and lost their lives at the hands of Iran and its terrorist proxies. Where the Obama and Biden Administrations appeased Tehran, paid them billions in bribes, and put them on a glide path to having nuclear weapons, President Trump has taken historic and concrete action to eliminate the nuclear threat, protect every inch of our homeland, and ensure Iran never threatens America or her allies ever again.

WASHINGTON, D.C.– Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48), Chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, Artificial Intelligence, and the Internet, introduced H.R. 10364, the American Copyright Protection Act, to combat foreign online piracy and protect American creators from websites distributing stolen content. “Every day, Americans produce unique and original work that are enjoyed around the world, and just as often, foreign piracy steals their content and profits from it – all beyond reach of current our law,” said Congressman Issa. “The American Copyright Protection Act establishes the tools to fight back, ensure due process, and safeguard legitimate online services.” Specifically, the American Copyright Protection Act will allow copyright owners to seek a federal court determination that a foreign website is engaged in copyright piracy. Once that determination is made, a copyright owner may petition the court to require internet service providers to take commercially reasonable steps to prevent access to the site in the United States. The legislation also includes safeguards to protect legitimate websites, internet users, and service providers, including an opportunity for affected parties to contest or modify blocking orders and requirements that courts consider technical feasibility, potential unintended harm, and the public interest. “The Motion Picture Association thanks Congressman Issa for introducing the American Copyright Protection Act (ACPA) of 2026, which would establish a long overdue judicial site blocking framework to combat digital piracy in the United States,” said Charles Rivkin, Chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association. “For more than a decade, site blocking has been widely and effectively deployed around the world in countries that uphold free speech, democratic values, and a well-functioning internet. The ACPA’s introduction is an important step towards the U.S. joining its democratic peers in employing this vital tool — and joins a growing bipartisan, bicameral effort to protect creators and consumers from the threat of piracy. We look forward to working with Rep. Issa and his colleagues in the House and Senate on both sides of the aisle to enact this important policy into law.” The American Copyright Protection Act is supported by: Motion Picture Association, Recording Industry Association of America, Association of American Publishers, American Bar Association, Council for Innovation Promotion, CreativeFuture, Elsevier, Entertainment Software Association, Independent Film & Television Alliance, Nintendo, Premier League, Ultimate Fighting Championship, TV Academy, and the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office.

Very positive news. States should never have tried to weaponize antitrust law and Paramount’s vision of increased production and a transformed entertainment economy ought to be given the opportunity to succeed. https://t.co/Z7uThXQMIR

WASHINGTON, D.C.– Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48) recently introduced the Digital Asset Inventory and Audit Act of 2026, legislation to ensure the federal government identifies, secures, and accounts for cryptocurrency and other digital assets that come into its custody. As federal law enforcement agencies routinely seize computers, phones, and other electronic evidence during investigations, those devices can contain private keys, seed phrases, digital wallets, and other cryptographic information that provide access to digital assets that may be related to criminal activity. What’s missing is a uniform government-wide requirement to identify and account for those assets. “The federal government cannot protect, recover, or account for assets it does not know it possesses,” said Congressman Issa. “When law enforcement seizes an electronic device, it may also be taking custody of the keys to digital assets that should also be seized. It’s time to recognize and remedy that reality.” Congressman Lance Gooden (TX-5), an original co-sponsor of H.R. 10317, added “As criminals increasingly use digital assets to move and conceal illicit funds, our law enforcement agencies must keep pace. This bill ensures federal agencies have the tools, standards, and accountability necessary to properly identify and safeguard digital assets in government custody.” Specifically, the legislation requires federal agencies to identify, secure, and account for digital assets discovered in electronic evidence. It also directs DOJ and NIST to establish government-wide standards for handling those assets and requires regular audits and oversight. The legislation creates no new search or seizure authorities and preserves existing legal and privacy protections. “The Digital Chamber applauds Reps. Lance Gooden and Darrell Issa for introducing the Digital Asset Inventory and Audit Act of 2026. As digital assets play a growing role in law enforcement investigations and federal asset management, agencies need modern, consistent standards for identifying, securing, and accounting for them. This legislation is an important step toward that goal, and we look forward to working with these Co-Sponsors and Congress to advance it.” The full bill text can be found here. ###

Any time is the right time for accountability in the judiciary - and it’s overdue here. https://t.co/tjZYElf4pK

Pitch perfect from @SpeakerJohnson https://t.co/et4mFCiRSy

This is not a close call: AG Bonta is working to deliver a death blow to one of the most recognized industries in CA — taking Paramount’s 34K jobs (and perhaps more from WBD) with them. Even Gavin Newsom can see the lawsuits are a losing hand and the right agreement would be win-win. https://t.co/XqW1Avg0bN

Five years ago today, 13 of our best and bravest service members were killed by a terror attack at Abbey Gate in Afghanistan. This was an unimaginable tragedy, but also a total failure of the Biden Administration. We will never forget the fallen, and we will never stop fighting for the indefatigable Gold Star families who only want the transparent truth of what happened that day to their kids: Staff Sergeant Ryan C. Knauss, USA; Staff Sergeant Darin Taylor Hoover, USMC; Sergeant Johanny Rosario Pichardo, USMC; Sergeant Nicole L. Gee, USMC; Corporal Hunter Lopez, USMC; Corporal Daegan W. Page, USMC; Corporal Humberto A. Sanchez, USMC; Lance Corporal David L. Espinoza, USMC; Lance Corporal Jared M. Schmitz, USMC; Lance Corporal Rylee J. McCollum, USMC; Lance Corporal Dylan R. Merola, USMC; Lance Corporal Kareem M. Nikoui, USMC; and Petty Officer Third Class Maxton W. Soviak, USN.

Here’s how you know @SecKennedy completely dominated CNN: The media hated every word of it. See for yourself. https://t.co/6fVWi33o3J

I'm not surprised Anthony Fauci would repeat Lois Lerner's disgraceful performance. This is no regard for the law and I'm calling for swift accountability. https://t.co/WcQDKDo2We

So many federal judges aren’t fair and impartial - just the Trump Resistance in Robes. Here’s @realDonaldTrump calling it out. Read it all. https://t.co/K7dHihZmZ7

Here’s a message to Gavin Newsom and Rob Bonta: The stakes are too high to weaponize antitrust law and continue to drive away the jobs and economy of California’s entertainment industry. https://t.co/iLBMDdlzlb

Epic wins for common sense at the Supreme Court today. The Trump resistance judges have met their match in the Constitution. https://t.co/EDNdHtxGkp

When California finishes counting the runs from the GOP victory last night, they’ll probably say the Democrats won. https://t.co/8D4ItDxhEi

Everyone needs to know that an overwhelming Congressional consensus rejected a radical proposal that would have benefitted Hezhollah and rewarded global terrorism. https://t.co/zW2ob5KSvN

First-rate testimony from @SecRubio today! One of his most powerful moments was our discussion about how friendly nations like even South Korea are unfairly targeting American companies and American citizens. This Secretary of State is on the case. https://t.co/I7r1iURCcQ

Congratulations to @pulte on his appointment by @realDonaldTrump as the new Acting Director of National Intelligence. Bill has successfully managed some of the most sensitive American data, as well as more than $10 trillion in assets at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This is the right man at the right time for this critical post.

A must read from the @californiapost — we’re going to find out what the sanctuary cities of San Diego and San Francisco are doing to break the law to serve illegal immigrants. https://t.co/giY1s9tgjA

Some Democrat scandals are so obvious, they hide in plain sight. https://t.co/qJDHau8JBr

Anyone who fought for the truth about Biden’s debacle at Abbey Gate has seen Democrats trash the memories of 13 fallen service members before. https://t.co/H06xsofdyV

I'm calling for a full and immediate investigation. Details still developing, but the truth is that supporters of @realDonaldTrump are routinely the victims of leftist violence all across the country. https://t.co/LAYvulRsA9
