  "account": "A new bipartisan caucus, focused on Hollywood and the creative industries, has emerged on Capitol Hill. Representatives Sydney Kamlager-Dove, María Elvira Salazar, and Troy Carter launched the Movies, Music, Entertainment & Sports Caucus (MoMEntS) on Wednesday. The caucus aims to champion the sectors of film and television, music, sports, streaming, gaming, publishing, and the creator economy, which generate more than $1 trillion annually and support over 5 million jobs. Facing challenges such as artificial intelligence, copyright protections, competition in streaming, and digital media, MoMEntS plans to promote policies that bolster workforce opportunities, protect creative rights, and foster innovation and competition. Major entertainment and media organizations, including the Recording Academy, Starz, TikTok USDS Joint Venture, and TKO Group, have shown support for the group. With other members such as Reps. Joe Wilson, André Carson, Gilbert Cisneros Jr., Jared Moskowitz, and Ted Lieu, MoMEntS seeks to foster better understanding and collaboration between lawmakers and the creative industries.",
